I'm continually getting : debug: No handler for tick in my logs.

What does this mean?

Thank you!

Trying to use this demo in my existing project with the latest Botkit. My 'facebook_optin' is working fine. But when I send any other message from facebook I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'stage' of undefined at Object.Botkit.botkit.receiveMessage (... CoreBot.js:108:33)

Line 108 in CoreBot.js looks like the following:

botkit.receiveMessage = function(bot, message) {
        message._pipeline.stage = 'receive'; // <------------------- this is line 108
        botkit.middleware.receive.run(bot, message, function(err, bot, message) {
            if (err) {

Simple here is working fine but when I am using conversation not getting any attachment response on
messenger.

This is what I was trying

    controller.hears(["location"], "message_received", function(bot, message) {

        bot.startConversation(message, function(err, convo) {

            convo.ask({
                text: "Where are you honey?",
                quick_replies: [{
                    "content_type": "location",
                }]
            }, function(response, convo) {
                if (response.attachments[0].type == "location") {
                    coordinates = response.attachments[0].payload.coordinates;
                    //responseStore.toDatabase('Location', coordinates, response);
                    convo.say("got it, latitude" + response.attachments[0].payload.coordinates.lat + "and longitude" + response.attachments[0].payload.coordinates.lat);
                    //aTopic(response, convo);
                } else {
                    convo.say("no no no");
                    //anotherTopic(response, convo);
                }
                convo.next();
            });
        });
    }); 

I am doing anything wrong ?

or can you please suggest some of the best solutions for using custom express server with botkit framework?

In simplifying the botkit.js file I believe you have dropped support for quick_replies. Any idea of adding this back or should I do it?

I am using WIT with Howdy. Trying to test a simple 'greeting' intent with botkit and the botkit fails with 'No handler for conversationStarted' message at 'botkit/lib/CoreBot.js:808 worker.send(message, cb);'

I am able to get the intent right from WIT and what I want to do is to ask the user his/her name.

controller.hears([greetingEntityName], 'message_received', wit.hears, function (bot, message) {
controller.storage.users.get(message.user, function(err, user) {
if (user && user.name) {
bot.reply(message, 'Hi ' + user.name + '. Welcome!');
} else {
bot.startConversation(message, function(err, convo) {
if(!err) {
convo.say('Hi There!');
convo.ask('What is your name?', function(response, convo){
console.log(response);
convo.next();
}, {'key':'nickname'});

                convo.on('end', function(convo) {
                    if (convo.status == 'completed') {
                        bot.reply(message, 'OK');
                    } else {
                        bot.reply(message, 'Not OK');
                    }
                }); 
            }                    
        });
    }
});

});

You are using routes in this demo like you would use routing if you were serving files on a typical web site. How does the routing work inside messenger? Can you elaborate on what the routes do?

// this function processes the POST request to the webhook
var handler = function(obj) {
controller.debug('Message received from FB')
var message
if (obj.entry) {
for (var e = 0; e < obj.entry.length; e++) {
for (var m = 0; m < obj.entry[e].messaging.length; m++) {
var facebook_message = obj.entry[e].messaging[m]
// /console.log(facebook_message)
// normal message
if (facebook_message.message) {
message = {
text: facebook_message.message.text,
user: facebook_message.sender.id,
channel: facebook_message.sender.id,
timestamp: facebook_message.timestamp,
seq: facebook_message.message.seq,
mid: facebook_message.message.mid,
attachments: facebook_message.message.attachments
}
....
...

I don't know why length is coming zero at obj.entry[e].messaging.length;

I am regularly getting this error message while receiving request from Facebook
'
Is there an issue with custom code or botkit framework ?

Hello,

I implemented the demo and slightly modified it (eg. use messenger_profile API). Now I wanted to make the Cookie-Example from Botkit work. It looks like this:

module.exports = function(controller) {

  controller.hears(['cookies'], 'message_received', function(bot, message) {

      bot.startConversation(message, function(err, convo) {

          convo.say('Did someone say cookies!?!!');
          convo.ask('What is your favorite type of cookie?', function(response, convo) {
              convo.say('Golly, I love ' + response.text + ' too!!!');
              convo.next();
          });
      });
  });

};

Once I write something like "Give me cookies". I get the "Did someone say cookies!?!!!" response. But then it does not move on to the next convo.ask.

I got this in the terminal:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'mids' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/botkit/node_modules/botkit/lib/Facebook.js:19:49)

When I comment controller.trigger('message_delivered', [bot, message]) out from the botkit.js file the TypeError is gone but the convo does not move on.

Can anybody help me?

conversation get started but then convo.ask does not give any result.

controller.hears(['structured'], 'message_received', function(bot, message) {
    bot.startConversation(message, function(err, convo) {

        convo.ask({
            attachment: {

Hello,

I would like to use express.js to build my bot using botkit; the problem is I don't know how to proceed. At first I was thinking to use express I will just have to install it in my botkit project and use it as normal node.js app and that's all; but with what the first issue is describing as problem, it sounds like to have botkit project work with express there a lot to configure and also features problem.

Help me understand how I can use express with botkit.
