[v3-wiz] Dump only gives UserIDs and not actual real names #294

Closed seacowabunga closed 2 months ago

seacowabunga commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug doing a dump of a channel will only dump the UserID's and not translate them to real names.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. slackdump dump @channels.txt

Expected behavior I would expect it to give me the real names of the users instead of just the userIDs and not rely on doing a HUGE "slackdump list users", which is not possible due to the sheer amount it would grab. i tried using "slackdump format -online csv " but i get 

format: 2024/06/26 14:30:37 Detected dump type: "Conversation"
format: 2024/06/26 14:30:37 Error 006 (Application Error): internal error:  no provider in context
Error 006 (Application Error): internal error:  no provider in context

still not sure if that would solve my use case either though.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

This is not what dump is conceived to do. Dump produces slightly augumented, but still raw API output. It does not resolve user IDs. But it seems like a nice suggestion, however, i'm not sure when I'll be able to implemented.

And as always, PRs are welcome, if you want to implement this.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up calling the slack api user.info, then just maintaining a csv with the user ID and real name to reference to prevent any future throttling. Works with enterprise so seems to satisfy my use case for now. 👍
