sdk_hook_not_found when following Quick-Start

[Equirinya]

I've followed the Quick-Start https://api.slack.com/automation/quickstart and but no matter which template I'm cloning i always get this error: The start script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found).:

This is the slack doctor:

The slack.json file is present and looks like this:

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts"
  }
}

Im executing the slack run command in the right folder I've upgraded the slack cli to the latest version the slack.json file is identical to the one of this slack-sample

These are the logs:

Suggestion:

Hook scripts are defined in the Slack configuration file ('slack.json').
Every app requires a 'slack.json' file and you can find a working example at:

Very similar to this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/1btrarr/please_test_my_open_ai_slack_bot/

[hello-ashleyintech]

Hi, @Equirinya! I have just merged in some dependency updates in this PR for this template: https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-starter-template/pull/64, could you try to follow the quickstart guide again to create a new app and run it and see if you get the same errors?

[whogodemo]

I have exactly same error with @Equirinya. @hello-ashleyintech I created a new app and run it but I got the same error:The start script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found) The slack.json file is present and looks like this: { "hooks": { "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts" } }

[hello-ashleyintech]

Hi, @whogodemo!

How recently did you create this new app?

[Equirinya]

Unfortunately its the same error still @hello-ashleyintech

👋 This might be caused by the PowerShell version being used with CLI implementations of hook execution, but not the actual hook implementations. The exec: "pwsh": executable file not found hints that the PowerShell version installed is less than 6.0 while support for pwsh is added in 6.0. Right now this is the minimum version supported by the CLI.

If you're using PowerShell could you check the version you're using? I'm wondering if this might be causing this issue and if bumping to a more recent version is possible?

[AHTA]

Alo alo 😃

I want to confirm that I solved the problem updating to PowerShell 7; you can't check your PS version running.

I got the same issue on macOS, here are my slack doctor outputs

✘ Runtime (foundations for the application)
      Error: The `doctor` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
      Suggestion: Ensure this hook is implemented in your `slack.json`

✘ Dependencies (requisites for development)
     Error: The `check-update` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
     Suggestion: Ensure this hook is implemented in your `slack.json`

There are few notes in the docs but I'm pretty sure my deno-slack-hooks is v1.3.0

Because this is my slack.json file

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts"
  }
}

Does anyone know how to solve this issue 😢

[zimeg]

@tult98 The contents of slack.json look good to me, but it might be possible that the deno command isn't being found in you $PATH 🤔 Could you try running just the following command to see if it outputs JSON that starts with {"runtime": "deno", ...?

$ deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts

I'd also be interested in the debug logs shown with a command like slack run -v since the following should be shown early in the execution:

```sh [2024-07-27 11:14:15] initialized SDK CLI config: {Runtime:deno Hooks:{BuildProject:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-run --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/b uild.ts Name:BuildProject} CheckUpdate:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/check_update.ts Name:CheckUpdate} Deploy:{Command: Name:Deploy} Doctor:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/doctor.ts Name:Doctor} GetHooks:{Command:deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts Name:Get Hooks} GetManifest:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/get_manifest.ts Name:GetManifest} GetTrigger:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allo w-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/get_trigger.ts Name:GetTrigger} InstallUpdate:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net https://deno.land/x/ deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/install_update.ts Name:InstallUpdate} Start:{Command:deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-run --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_runtime@1.1.1/local-run.ts Name:Start}} Con fig:{Watch:{FilterRegex:\.(ts|js)$ Paths:[.]} SDKManagedConnection:false TriggerPaths:[] SupportedProtocols:[message-boundaries]} WorkingDirectory:} ```

I'm hoping one of these point towards another issue or a fix, but please let me know if the responses seem unexpected!

[tult98]

Thanks for the quick response @zimeg

Here are the outputs from deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts command. It might be the problem here 🤔

And the outputs from slack run -v

@tult98 Interesting 👀 This might be VPN or network settings blocking a connection to https://deno.land 🦕

Wanting to rule a few things out- are you connected through a VPN? And does the following command on the same machine work for you?

$ deno run https://deno.land/x/cowsay@1.1/cowsay.ts -t="greetings"

[tult98]

ah yes, I did use a VPN, it might be the problem. Let me turn off the VPN and try again. Thanks for your support 🙏

are you connected through a VPN

No, it doesn't

does the following command on the same machine work for you?

[as43647]

hey guys, I got the same problem now.... I'm pretty sure my PowerShell is the newest version(7.4.4).

Here is the problem:

The `start` script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)

Here is my Slack doctor result:

✘ Runtime (foundations for the application)
      Error: The `doctor` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
✘ Dependencies (requisites for development)
      Error: The `check-update` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)

And my slack.json code:

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/mod.ts"
  }
}

Did anyone solve this problem already? Thank you!!

[zimeg]

@as43647 👋 Hi! Which version of the CLI is this happening with? My first guess is that the deno command is not being found but this might be related to how PowerShell and the CLI communicate when the hooks are called 🤔

[as43647]

Hi @zimeg !! My version is slack.exe v2.29.1 yeah I run the deno command and it starts with {"runtime": "deno", ... I also run slack run -v and it shows:

@as43647 🤔 Hmm... For pedantics does the deno run response match the following and parse as valid JSON?

```json { "runtime": "deno", "hooks": { "get-manifest": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/get_manifest.ts", "get-trigger": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/get_trigger.ts", "build": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-run --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/build.ts", "start": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-run --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_runtime@1.1.2/local-run.ts ", "check-update": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/check_update.ts", "install-update": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/install_update.ts", "doctor": "deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.1/doctor.ts" }, "config": { "protocol-version": [ "message-boundaries" ], "watch": { "filter-regex": "\\.(ts|js)$", "paths": [ "." ] } } } ```

Asking because this line is a bit suspicious with the invalid . character!

[2024-08-16 18:07:02] failed to initialize slack.json configurations: invalid character '.' looking for beginning of value

This might also be caused by the environment you're running slack and deno in. It's possible that a debugger or similar program is adding additional output to the deno command and causing unexpected parsings with the CLI 🤔

If the output above matches and these commands are run with the same path and shell, I'll be a bit stumped but we'll of course continue investigations! :mag:

[as43647]

Hey @zimeg ~

My Deno version is: deno 1.45.5 (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) v8 12.7.224.13 typescript 5.5.2

There are some different between two json file deno_slack_hooks and deno_slack_runtime. Both are different version. Should I upgrade them? (my version are 1.3.0 and 1.1.1 btw)

Thank u!!

[zimeg]

@as43647 👀 All of those versions seem alright to me! It is notable that Windows is being used, but I don't believe that should be causing a problem...

Can you share the outputs from these commands when running in a project directory?

$ deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/mod.ts
$ deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hooks@1.3.0/get_manifest.ts
$ slack manifest

I'm hoping to figure out if this is caused by deno or how the CLI is interpreting the "hook" responses 🤔

Check C:\Users\as436\.slack\logs\slack-debug-20240822.log for error logs The `manifest` script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found) > Suggestion Hook scripts are defined in the Slack configuration file ('slack.json'). Every app requires a 'slack.json' file and you can find a working example at: https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-starter-template/blob/main/slack.json

Thank you!
