Failed to register AS

[pztrn]

After following guide from README.md I get:

chat node[21376]: { [M_EXCLUSIVE: This application service has not reserved this kind of alias.]
chat node[21376]:   name: 'M_EXCLUSIVE',
chat node[21376]:   message:
chat node[21376]:    'This application service has not reserved this kind of alias.',
chat node[21376]:   data:
chat node[21376]:    { errcode: 'M_EXCLUSIVE',
chat node[21376]:      error:
chat node[21376]:       'This application service has not reserved this kind of alias.' },
chat node[21376]:   httpStatus: 400 }

As I understand it, this error is sent by the homeserver when the bridge tries to create a room alias that begins with a prefix, or matches a regex, that hasn't been reserved in the registration.yaml file for the appservice.

• Update matrix-puppet-slack to current master
• npm install to pull the latest dependencies, particularly matrix-puppet-bridge
• regenerate your slack-registration.yaml
• Install the new slack-registration.yaml in Synapse's data directory
• Be sure that, in Synapse's homeserver.yaml, it's app_service_config_files key, the value of which is an array, includes the root-relative path to that slack-registration.yaml file
• Restart synapse
• Start matrix-puppet-slack again

Actually I've solved that with that patch:

diff --git a/index.js b/index.js

-      reg.addRegexPattern("aliases", `@slack_.*`, false);

       callback(reg);
     }).catch(err=>{
       console.error(err.message);

Found somewhere around here, by the way.

Oh, good! That change is part of 1.12.0, so it sounds like we can close this. Thanks for filing the issue!
