Did anyone got it to work?

https://github.com/yuya373/emacs-slack

I got a token and all and did

  (require 'slack)

  (defun slack-init ()
    (slack-register-team
     :name                  "uppsalamakerspace"
     :token                  slack-token
     :subscribed-channels '((general lokalen random)) ))
  ;; (slack-init)

but then it says

[2021-10-07 04:27:37] [error] [...] An Error occur-ed while closing websocket connection: (wrong-type-argument websocket nil)
Failed to request slack-authorize: invalid_auth

Ideas?

TIA

Hey there,

Did you place the token in quotes within your Emacs config?

I ask because I got this working in my previous job, and remember this package being amazing. I wish they could make an MS Teams variant as this would have helped for my current job. Would recommend this as its pretty neat though you will have to somehow figure out how to get alerts, but there are a few packages like Sauron I believe that could do this.

Sincerely,

Sam

It looks like this! The token is extracted from ~/.authinfo
with

(setq local-slack-token
      (auth-source-pick-first-password
       :host "uppsalamakerspace.slack.com"
       :user "moasenwood@zoho.eu") )

and it looks like this:

  "x...3" (109 chars)

Compiles fine with no warnings.

(require 'slack)

(defvar local-slack-token)

BTW if you or anyone else can help me ... that would be gold,
truly gold.

My mental/physical health is a disaster and has been for
several years but life can still be good if I just do the
right things, the right way ...

And fiddling with a smartphone trying to run a huge workshop
sometimes emplaning basic things over and over to people with
huge egos - you guessed it, that's the wrong thing, and in the
wrong way :)

I don't have it in my config anymore, so I can't help as much as you would like.

However, as always, just search online for someone else's config to steal from:

This looks like an alternative to check out as well:

Good luck,

Sam

Did get anywhere or many I didn't get anything ... (If they
use `use-package' then I don't have that, even.)

This works until one is supposed to do

  /slack register <code>

in weechat, if CODE is the token then it says Couldn't get
Slack OAuth token: invalid code

Maybe that is another version of the Elisp error message - if
so, bad since onee way should be used to communicate onee
situation ...

Maybe we approach this the wrong way ...

How does Slack work, even?

Can we create a "Team Emacs" and have people connect to that?

It could be used as a way of testing to get emacs-slack
to work, and we could then trim it down to a minimum ...

Wanna use emacs-slack? Try this Elisp and try it on Team
Emacs first. If it works, it should work for you ...

What are these

  (client-id "XXXXXXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY")
  (client-secret "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ")

?

My biggest advice at this point if you couldn't figure it out from the other couple of links I sent you is to ask on IRC on Libera Chat's '#emacs' channel as someone probably has set this up before.

One link gives me an error, the weechat method doesn't work
(don't know if that's the method per se or my token, which
I did acquire following a tutorial), then there is a version
of what I already did (which also didn't work), but you are
right tho I can't figure out how to use this

  (client-id "XXXXXXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY")
  (client-secret "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ")

or what it refers to, even.

Gotcha, yeah I haven't done it in a while so I can't really help as much. I would recommend just lurking on that IRC channel until you can get someone who's done it before. Chances are there is someone who has. Its been a while. Anyway, good luck, shouldn't be too hard. I would recommend to use "Sauron" package for notifications though.
