Rtm.start not getting replaced by rtm.connect

Hi @somali3395, thanks for asking the question. It seems that your env variable is not loaded in hubot-slack for some reason. Perhaps, you may be using a bit old version, which does not support the option.

The best way to resolve this is to upgrade to the latest version. v4.10.0 uses rtm.connect by default, so that you don't need to pass any extra options: https://github.com/slackapi/hubot-slack/releases/tag/v4.10.0

Hi @seratch , Thanks for your help.
I am using this documentation https://slack.dev/hubot-slack/ to create a BOT in slack. This guides me to install the following package "generator-hubot" .This is the latest versions that i updated. i am still getting the rtm.start error.

@somali3395 Just in case, I've confirmed the latest version works without any issues. All I did was:

• Head to https://my.slack.com/apps/A0F7XDU93-hubot and generate a new setting
• npm install -g yo generator-hubot
• mkdir my-awesome-hubot && cd my-awesome-hubot
• yo hubot --adapter=slack
• HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=(your token here) HUBOT_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./bin/hubot --adapter slack

As you can see, I followed the instructions here: https://slack.dev/hubot-slack/#basic-setup and it worked for me.

I am guessing that your app may still be using an older version for some reason. Please make sure the version is v4.10.0 for sure. When you start your hubot app, you can find the following line in the stdout outputs:

[(datetime here)] INFO hubot-slack adapter v4.10.0

Also, enabling debug-level logging may help you figure out the cause of your situation. You can run your app with debug-level logging by the following option. Refer to https://slack.dev/hubot-slack/advanced_usage#activate-logging-for-debugging for more details.

HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=(your token here) HUBOT_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./bin/hubot --adapter slack

Hi @seratch . Thank you for your reply. I am getting this error while running yo hubot --adapter=slack. Which version of node and npm are you using?
