Many reports of chatops does not respond back to the chat client

[manasdk]

At times it is auth being disabled and issues connecting to st2stream, at times it is rule being disabled and at times it is a complete black box.

We need to close out a few of these holes as most of them sound like deployment issues.

at times it is rule being disabled

@lakshmi-kannan said that it's fixed in the latest unstable. I'll confirm today. Can reproduce this bug with stable on Ubuntu.

issues connecting to st2stream

This happens when st2stream gets initialized after Hubot does, since Hubot can't reconnect and gives up. I'll try to reproduce (so far I couldn't), but it should be just a matter of adding an st2ctl restart at the end of our bootstrap script.

auth being disabled
complete black box

Need more info on those, but I'm on the lookout, and as soon as there's a bug I can reliably reproduce, I'll be pushing a fix asap.

It's better to file the bugs separately along with providing some context. Most of the issues (like rules) aren't chatops-related, just manifested there. I get that it's a sort of ragey meta-issue about how horrible things are, and I understand the frustration. 😛 Let's make things great again!
