Can you create a github issue in the slackv3 repo please so that others can find it if they encounter the same sort of situation?

alpinweis

@alpinweis

Sure. Just filed errbotio/err-backend-slackv3#57

alpinweis

@alpinweis

Hi. I have a restricted command chat_rm that I define like this:

ACCESS_CONTROLS = {
  .....
  "chat_rm": {"allowusers": BOT_ADMINS},
}

Given a slackV3 backend,
What's the correct way to specify bot admins? I tried 2 options, and in both cases when I try to run the command as a bot admin I get denied.

Using: BOT_ADMINS = ('@flast1', '@flast2')
logs:

12:27:09 INFO     errbot.plugins.ACLs       Matching ACL {'allowusers': ('@flast1', '@flast2')} against username UQQQQQQ for command MyTools:chat_rm.
12:27:09 INFO     errbot.core               Command None blocked or deferred.

Using: BOT_ADMINS = ('@First1 Last1', '@First2 Last2')
logs:

12:27:09 INFO     errbot.plugins.ACLs       Matching ACL {'allowusers': ('@First1 Last1', '@First2 Last2')} against username UQQQQQQ for command MyTools:chat_rm.

@alpinweis The only secure way to identify a user in slack is via the User ID. From the Slack UI you can view the user's full profile where there is an option to copy their UserID.

Slack changed things and the old @display_name is no longer guaranteed to be unique, which means if someone sets their display name to be the same as an admins display name, they get admin rights to the bot.

I've found the problem you encountered with errbotio/err-backend-slackv3#57 but after fixing the issue, another problem has turned up which is related to how the room mentions are parsed by errbot. I'm in the process of debugging it and if all goes well should have a fix in the next couple of days.

alpinweis

@alpinweis

The only secure way to identify a user in slack is via the User ID.

right, so is something like @UQUSERID or <@UQUSERID> supposed to work for BOT_ADMINS? which one is correct?

Carlos

@nzlosh

The User ID is the plain text id for the slack account, it's what you see when you copy the information from the slack full profile page or using the !whoami command (person field).

Carlos

@nzlosh

Oh and you will need to set the BOT_ADMINS_NOTIFICATIONS configuration if you want admin messages to be sent to from errbot since a plain text id can't be used to send slack notifications.

@nzlosh We got https://github.com/errbotio/err-backend-discord migrated to the org :)

Carlos

@nzlosh

Great news! Thanks for sorting that out.

Carlos

@nzlosh

@sijis Would you be for or against errbot-backend-mattermost project being renamed to err-backend-mattermost for consistency sake? The only other backend that uses errbot rather than err is errbot-backend-skype but I think it's deprecated now.

Yamila Moreno

@yamila-moreno

Hi there, I'm struggling with the flow example. I cannot get it running. I'm using telegram backend.

where should the flows go? in the plugins directory? in a flows directory? (I've tried both, but not sure)
the .flow file should be called myflows.flow like the myflows.py file?

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

@yamila-moreno The layout should be as a normal plugin. Inside the plugins directory.

@nzlosh I can rename it. Not a problem

Carlos

@nzlosh

Thanks @sijis :thumbsup: it'll make it easier for people find/install the backends if they all follow the same naming convention.

How to integrate the errbot into the web chat tool developed by springboot ?

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

@skisqibao could you elaborate a little on what you are trying to do?

Apache-QiBao

@skisqibao

@sijis Now I have a springboot project, there is a page with a chat function, I want to integrate the errbot into this page

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

@skisqibao I'm guessing that's a custom chat system? If that's the case, you'd have to create a custom backend for your system. If it's xmpp based you could look at the existing xmpp one as a starting point.

Alternative, if you just want to send commands to the bot, you can create a webhook plugin and interact with it that way. But that's just typical API methodology.

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

@nzlosh i just archived the skype backend (errbotio/err-backend-skype). it only supports 2.7, which errbot no longer supports.

Apache-QiBao

@skisqibao

Thanks @sijis
I think I have a general idea.

Carlos

@nzlosh

Thanks for sorting that out. Does skype still exist?

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

maybe, but the library is for py 2.7 and hasn't been touched in 9 yrs. the backend in 6.

Carlos

@nzlosh

I seem to recall Skype being bought my Microsoft and being transformed into teams, but I could be wrong, I don't keep track of Microsoft products.

Stefano Ortolani

@ostefano

@nzlosh does the errbot slackv3 backend supports the bot replying with an image rather than text?

Carlos

@nzlosh

I've never tried personally. There's a method _slack_upload which calls Slack's files_upload API. If the backend doesn't support the method directly, the SlackSDK module is avilable through the backend object as slack_web. There's a method called api_call which was carried forward from the original slack backend that calls SlackSDK's api_call method. It's a thin wrapper giving access to calling the Slack API directly. That might be another way of getting to the functionality you need.

Hai,

I'm facing the problem on my errbot recently, which is running fine from quite long time. We haven't done any changes in the recent time, all of sudden it started failing.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@nzlosh

@jv-kalyanchakravarthy According to the man pages for getaddrinfo, "Try again" relates to this error:

EAI_AGAIN
              The name server returned a temporary failure indication.  Try again later.

Which suggest you've got DNS issues in your infrastructure

jv-kalyanchakravarthy

@jv-kalyanchakravarthy

Thanks @nzlosh got the issue. Updated the DNS config and it's working.

Hi every one. I need some help in simple botcmd() use case.

how can I get user identitry who trigger the botcmd ?

I need read user email address from slack backend. I find there is identity.Person in slackv3 backend.

but I'm not able to figure out how to get or 'reflect' user identity in @botcmd decorated function.

Sijis Aviles

@sijis

If you type !whoami you should see the object path to get the info you need. It's be like frm.xxxx
