Boot a web server and a SlackRubyBot without an additional Thread #26

Open dblock opened 8 years ago

dblock commented 8 years ago

I've been struggling with making an instance of a slack-ruby-client without a Thread with just EventMachine. I couldn't boot a web server and a slack RTM client in the same thread successfully. It should be possible.

Currently we document to use a Thread in https://github.com/dblock/slack-ruby-bot/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md under config.ru, fix that.

So I'm a complete novice when it comes to programming, but it sounds like even just attempting to solve this could be fun and educational.

I know it's been a very long time since you posted this issue, but are you able to give me any details about what you've tried so far?

If you follow the tutorial at the end it says something like Thread.new ..., remove that and make it work.
