now deployment fails - no GitHub deploy, and no query for info

[deitch]

I followed the instructions on the README, got 2 errors. First, GitHub based deployment no longer works, see this issue. Error is:

> Error! The specified file or directory "slackin" does not exist"

Based on the issue above, I git cloned the slackin repo, and tried to run again. The deploy worked, but it didn't query for parameters, or do anything, just loaded the files:

$ now rauchg/slackin
> WARN! Your project is missing a now.json file with a `version` property. More: https://zeit.co/docs/version-config
> Deploying ~/Documents/Development/rauchg/slackin under deitch
> Using project slackin
> https://slackin-k2d6wyjaa.now.sh [v2] [in clipboard] [3s]
> Success! Deployment ready [3s]

Going to the URL just gives a list of files.

Thanks!

@deitch You're using now V2. Slackin use now V1, that's why nothing work. You (or somebody) should update now config to v2.

New version of now use node 8+, slackin use Node 6...

[deitch]

So this repo needs to be updated?

[jorisre]

I think but I don't know the code base.

[deitch]

Ha! Me neither. Hoping a maintainer can comment?

[deitch]

It gets worse. Now no longer will support now v1 deployments.

Really hoping this gets resolved

[deitch]

I got pretty far with it, happy to submit a PR. Ran into a problem with the transpiling + serving. See the open discussion on Zeit/Now forum here. When that is resolved, I will submit.

Glad to read someone (@deitch ) is working on a fix. It was quite frustrating to get those errors when trying both Now and Slackin for the first time and seeing no documentation referring to this.

Hoping maintainers see and solve this problem :)

[deitch]

I almost have it working, have run into a problem with now itself, specifically transpiling and serving. If anyone has any ideas about that part, I can be ready for a PR on this quickly. I raised the issue in the now forum here.

I have same issue as @deitch reported. I have zero knowledge in any kind of web development.. Was hoping I could follow the direction and would work but again it just shows list of files on the link provided after running "now -e SLACK_API_TOKEN="<>" -e SLACK_SUBDOMAIN="<>" -e GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_SECRET="<>" -e GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_SITEKEY="<>" <>/slackin --public"

[deitch]

OK, got it. PR coming shortly.
