Drone <-> Slack integration errors after latest version released

[sheinbergon]

Pulling the latest plugins/slack image triggers the following error:

time="2020-09-17T14:31:23Z" level=error msg="execution failed: could not create template message: Evaluation error: Helper since called with argument 0 with type time.Time but it should be int64\nCurrent node:\n\tPath{Original:'build.started', Pos:190}"

drone configuration section:

• name: slack
  image: plugins/slack:latest
  settings:
  webhook:
  from_secret: slack_webhook
  channel: drone-notificiations
  template: >
  {{uppercase build.status}}

  Repo: *{{repo.name}}*
  
  Branch: *{{build.branch}}*
  
  Commit: *{{build.commit}}*
  
  Build Number: *{{build.number}}*
  
  Author: *{{build.author}}*
  
  Build duration: *{{since build.started}}*
  
  {{build.link}}
  

  when:
  status: [ success, failure ]

Reverting back to 1.3.0 fixes the issue

The same here.
The slack message arrives empty in slack and all the pipelines are failing.

@Leen15 are you using since as well or is this something different? The type changed from int64 to time.Time.

@donny-dont I'm using this plugin configured as follow:

  - name: slack

The "notify-pipeline-start" output is:

time="2020-09-17T14:45:27Z" level=info msg="sending message" channel="#********" username=

The "notify-pipeline-end" output is:

time="2020-09-17T14:48:00Z" level=error msg="execution failed: could not create template message: Evaluation error: Helper since called with argument 0 with type time.Time but it should be int64\nCurrent node:\n\tPath{Original:'build.created', Pos:726}"

I have the same steps in most of our repositories so every pipeline is failing due to this issue.

In slack it arrives an empty message (I think for the start step, nothing for the end step):

K thanks both of you we'll add those to a set of tests to make sure stuff doesn't break next time we try and reland this.

I encountered no response in slack channel, but the drone status shows success
