channel-messenger configuration doesn't work

[bissolli]

• Node version: 8.11.2

Botpress version: 10.11.1

Channels: @botpress/channel-messenger

I can't save my settings through the Dashboard. Getting the following error in my logs:

TypeError: config.saveAll is not a function

@bissolli Can you update your channel-messenger version? There's no more UI.

[bissolli]

Hey @slvnperron , it was 10.0.2!
I had to run npm install --save @botpress/channel-messenger@10.11.1 to get the latest one.
Running only npm install --save @botpress/channel-messenger I get the 10.0.2.

Problem solved!

Quick question, now that I have the channel-messenger under the config folder and don't have UI anymore, how can I make my setting take effect? For example, I want to add Get Started button, I set as true in the settings file, but even restarting the service running bp start, it doesn't take effect!

Bot seems to be working on facebook messenger, but get started button, persistent menu and others settings don't .

I think the problem is the error 400 might prevent further configuration from being saved to Facebook. Please remove the ads permission from the default permissions in the channel-messenger.json file and see if that helps. (A PR would be nice if that works)
