getting 404 with the sample

[RoboDonut]

404 with the sample if i drop in @app.route('/') i get a page (but no response). i'm new to flask so any help is awesome.

@RoboDonut Have you configured the callback url, in the example we use app.config['SLACK_CALLBACK'] = '/slack_callback', so you can post to this url instead of / root path if u are trying the example in the readme.

[RoboDonut]

yes, i set to app.config['SLACK_CALLBACK'] = '/flaskyou' flaskyou is the slash command i set in slack

[halfcrazy]

@RoboDonut Could you post your full code here?

[RoboDonut]

Yeah

[RoboDonut]

from flask import Flask

from flask_slackbot import SlackBot


app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SLACK_TOKEN'] = 'xoxs-10205404050-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-0483ff0e8a' #TOKEN FROM API PAGE
# if you need to use slacker you should give a slack chat token
app.config['SLACK_CHAT_TOKEN'] = 'Deyt1lhPPoR2HoKiZt2TGkFr' # Token from the slash command
app.config['SLACK_CALLBACK'] = '/flaskyou' # the slash command
app.debug = True
slackbot = SlackBot(app)


def fn1(kwargs):
    return {'text': '!' + kwargs['text']}


def fn4(kwargs):
        return {'text': '!' + kwargs['text'], 'private': True}


def fn2(kwargs):
    slackbot.slack.chat.post_message('#general', 'hello from slacker handler')
    return None


def fn3(text):
    return text.startswith('!')


slackbot.set_handler(fn1)
slackbot.filter_outgoing(fn3)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

if i add in a typical @app.route('/') i dont get the 404 and the / command returns hello world

...
app.debug = True
slackbot = SlackBot(app)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World!'

def fn1(kwargs):
    return {'text': '!' + kwargs['text']}
...

The URL I set in the slash command is theoasis.mydissent.net:5000

I believe I've tested both get a post methods

[halfcrazy]

@RoboDonut Oops, It seems you don't use the post method, the message was posted by slack official server to your end point, so if you want to simulate this behavior you need to send post. You can use postman(a chrome extension) or curl or httpie.

Here's the data we get from the post. You may construct the request with those fields.

token = request.form.get('token')
team_id = request.form.get('team_id')
team_domain = request.form.get('team_domain')
channel_id = request.form.get('channel_id')
channel_name = request.form.get('channel_name')
timestamp = request.form.get('timestamp')
user_id = request.form.get('user_id')
user_name = request.form.get('user_name')
text = request.form.get('text')
trigger_word = request.form.get('trigger_word')

curl -d 'token=balabala&team_id=balabala ....' http://theoasis.mydissent.net:5000/flaskyou

[RoboDonut]

even when i set the command to post it still fails. :(

@RoboDonut

➜  ~  curl -d 'text=1' http://theoasis.mydissent.net:5000/flaskyou
{
  "text": "!1"
}%                   

I try to post an empty body to your server, and it returns something may helpful to you.
It demonstrate that the post method already works, although the data i post was not valid...

I note you are using windows, so your system may not have curl, you can use postman instead,

[RoboDonut]

thank you for all your fast help. i'll keep working on it
