Hubot sends multiple packets to api upon 2+ vm creations

[quickjp2]

The second time the first vm packet is sent along with several copies of the new vm.

Hubot will respond twice after the mem answer, then three times after the next, then four after the next, finally sending off 5 different json packets.

Refactored the code in a new branch, but now the issue is the callback function passed to the respond object for a question is being called once when declared and then again when actually responding.

The two pictures show that the callback function is being called once before the user response and once after. I purposely prevented the next call from being executed until the dual call issue is fixed.

hey @quickjp2

I think you're misreading the error - the issue isn't that askQuestion is getting called multiple times (looks like it's designed very much to be called recursively), but that it can't find the reference to itself:

ReferenceError: askQuestion is not defined

[quickjp2]

Indeed! It is meant to be recursive. But the problem is not that it's not recursing (if that's even a word). The issue is that recursive function is being called before I even respond to it.
