I've been having problems with hubot crashing periodically, usually overnight when no one is activel. I found errors in the log like:
The line the error is coming from
user.profile.email
, which indicates theuser.profile
is undefined, so I first tried an existential operator, ieuser.profile?.email
. Crashes still happened, but with a different error:I added some debug logging to see what user was coming in, and it was empty, ie
{}
rather than a full profile. This is coming directly from the real-time messaging API so I've reported this issue to Slack, but in the mean time checking foruser?.id?
should be sufficient to guard against it.
