No App Home about slack-go-demo-socketmode HOT 8 OPEN

Hi @mcsescott,

Thanks for the feedback it helps me improve the tutorial. First, make sure your application has the right permissions. Luckily it is now easy to do with App Manifest: look at the GIF in this article (I did not update the tutorial accordingly yet :-{ )

Once the configuration is OK then It may be a bug. Someone else Open a bug recently #3. For a reason that I did not understand yet, the UserId is not from the event is empty when coming to the App Home for the first time.

Please validate the first point, on my side I will dig deeper into that UserId issue.

Thanks for the comment. I compared my manifest to yours, and they look to be in order. I saw issue #3 but it was closed so I assumed you had updated it in the code. I will delete the app/code and reinstall it from scratch (probably tomorrow) and see what happens.

If the manifest is correct you should see the event logged in when you open App Home. Like this:

socketmode: 2021/07/11 11:49:51 socket_mode_managed_conn.go:336: Received WebSocket message: {"envelope_id":"ec3e6fbc-c624-4cf9-b709-ed56788497cd","payload":{"token":"WvsrrpDjaTWiZLsGcuXGUQrh","team_id":"T01KL8ALRPU","api_app_id":"A01PM8UB8JG","event":{"type":"app_home_opened","user":"U01K5EZ9A7R","channel":"D01P8ARNXK8","tab":"home","view":{"id":"V01PL81GWDR","team_id":"T01KL8ALRPU","type":"home","blocks":[{"type":"section","block_id":"4+o","text":{"type":"mrkdwn","text":"*Welcome Back!* \nThis is a home for Stickers app. You can add small notes here!","verbatim":false},"accessory":{"type":"button","action_id":"add_note","text":{"type":"plain_text","text":"Add a Stickie","emoji":true}}},{"type":"divider","block_id":"8Av"}],"private_metadata":"","callback_id":"","state":{"values":[]},"hash":"1626018527.6R4napTR","title":{"type":"plain_text","text":"View Title","emoji":true},"clear_on_close":false,"notify_on_close":false,"close":null,"submit":null,"previous_view_id":null,"root_view_id":"V01PL81GWDR","app_id":"A01PM8UB8JG","external_id":"","app_installed_team_id":"T01KL8ALRPU","bot_id":"B01PFA6BA75"},"event_ts":"1626018587.211703"},"type":"event_callback","event_id":"Ev0282JQ0BR7","event_time":1626018587,"authorizations":[{"enterprise_id":null,"team_id":"T01KL8ALRPU","user_id":"U01PTNN2733","is_bot":true,"is_enterprise_install":false}],"is_ext_shared_channel":false},"type":"events_api","accepts_response_payload":false,"retry_attempt":1,"retry_reason":"timeout"}

Do you see this error in the logs 2021/07/11 11:49:51 Unexpected event type received: error_bad_message. it seems to me that slack-go is not able to correctly parse the event received. I will dig into it and make a PR to slack-go.

In the meantime, you can force the app_home to initialize for a specific user with the integration tests

go test ./...

For the integration test to work you need to have test_slack.env at the root of the project:

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx
SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-1-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
TEST_USER=UXXXXXXXXXX

Once the home is initialized the rest of the tutorial works as intended.

There was also this issue from Slack, which affected many of our other integrations/workflows. It mentions the App Home, so this could be the reason why it didn't work:

I am still trying to follow your guides, but they seem to be slightly confusing (to me) and may not be updated (go commands aren't correct). I will also be deleting the app and starting over from the beginning, as I have tried so many different things/iterations to get it working that I may be confusing myself, which is certainly easy.

Example command which doesn't work:

https://betterprogramming.pub/build-a-slack-app-home-in-golang-using-socket-mode-aff7b855bb31
Step 1: Create the Project Repository
go mod init go get -u github.com/slack-go/slack

from slack-go-demo-socketmode.

It is two separate commands

go mod init
go get -u github.com/slack-go/slack

go mod init create the go.mod file and go get installs dependencies.

I have identified two bugs related to the app_home_opened event:

• Once you initialized the Home, all subsequent events are error_bad_message
• The event seems sometimes not to be correctly parsed and do not contain the UserId

I look for fixes in the upcoming days.

from slack-go-demo-socketmode.

I monkey patched appHomeController.go to make the demo work.

I believe now that app_home_opened has been updated on Slack's side but it has not been reflecting in slack-go, thus the troubles we are running into.

I will have to compare the specs and see what is going wrong.
