Starting a new bot after closing an old bot restarts (maybe?) the old bot

@JasonKDarby Have you tried using the start macro exposed by the bot namespace?

[JasonKDarby]

@gizmo385 I did but I re-implemented it so that start could be asynchronous and would return the bot. I want to be able to write tests and run it in the REPL so I can't have start be blocking and I need a way to shut it down.

@JasonKDarby In the start function, you're loading the the clojure in your configured extensions directories. The defextension and defcommand macros modify a global atom, which contains all loaded commands and extensions. Reloading those files without resetting that atom might be causing those extensions and commands to get loaded multiple times.

Can you try moving the load call outside of your start function?

That was it, thanks! Again, really appreciating your effort 👍

Glad I could help and glad you're enjoying the framework! 👍
