Bot just goes away #200

Closed Kerwood closed 8 years ago

Kerwood commented 8 years ago

I made a bot that works flawlessly.. Except that after around 24 hours, it just goes away. The Node JS app is still running after it goes away and the log gives me nothing, literally .

I've made a getPresence on the bot and it gives me this. {"ok":true,"presence":"away","online":false,"auto_away":false,"manual_away":false,"connection_count":0}

Why is the bot disconnecting ?

Did you check for the team_migration_started event? Perhaps the server your team is on got migrated.

Cool.. That sound reasonable. But where can i check for this team_migration_started event ?

You should also enable connection retries in your call to controller.spawn: https://github.com/howdyai/botkit/blob/master/readme-slack.md#controllerspawn

Thanks @benbrown.. That will properly solve my problem :)

Is there any reason why retry defaults to false? That doesn't make too much sense in my opinion.
