Bug Report

Filling out the following details about bugs will help us solve your issue sooner.

Reproducible in:

slackeventsapi version: python version: OS version(s):

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make a post request through POSTMAN to the slack_event_adapter to replicate sending a message through channel
2. The json component of the request is given below which is sent as a "Pre-request Script".

Expected result:

The expected result was that the request would be parsed by my application and dealt accordingly.

Actual result:

I run into an error saying "slackeventsapi.server.SlackEventAdapterException: Invalid request timestamp" despite having HTTP_X_SLACK_REQUEST_TIMESTAMP configured and this is set dynamically to ensure that the timestamp is of the time when the request is sent. This is highlighted in the screenshot below.

Hi @hashimjd 👋🏻 Thanks for the detailed issue, including the screenshots!

It looks like the expected header is X-Slack-Request-Timestamp. In the sample above, it looks like Postman is setting HTTP_X_SLACK_REQUEST_TIMESTAMP.

Can you try updating the header to be X-Slack-Request-Timestamp? (Case sensitivity should not matter)

Please let me know how that goes! Michael

I tried doing that but the problem still persists. I've attached a screenshot below that demonstrates the issue. In the server section, the issue still is "slackeventsapi.server.SlackEventAdapterException: Invalid request timestamp"

You may no longer be working on this but if you dynamically set the x-slack-request-timestamp value, the x-slack-signature value must be also updated using the timestamp value. Thus, this is an expected behavior (= this library correctly detects invalid x-slack- header values in this scenario)

I hope this helps.
