bsky-bot's Issues

Authentication fails

I tried a plain copy from your template with my own .env credentials. I made them as follows (fake handle & app-password of course

BSKY_PASSWORD=here-goes-app-pw
BSKY_HANDLE=myFabHandle

But I get an error when I build and run

XRPCError: Invalid identifier or password
at ServiceClient.call (/node_modules/@atproto/api/dist/index.js:7099:15)
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
at async BskyAgent.login (/node_modules/@atproto/api/dist/index.js:14759:19)
at async Bot.run (file:///dist/lib/bot.js:35:9)
at async file:///dist/index.js:3:14 {
status: 401,
error: 'AuthenticationRequired',
success: false

I changed the handle and password to a string, added them directly in config.ts line 14 and 15 but no luck. I tried the actual password but still no change in error. Might there be a change with the @atproto API? Anything else I can test?

SyntaxError

I keep getting 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier'. I'm new to coding and was wondering what I'm doing wrong. I can't even make a template in Projects.

Embbed Picture

Hi!
Everything is working perfectly with your bot, but is it possible to add a picture to the post? I can't figure out how to do that.
