SLACK_BOT_TOKEN error

[x3l51]

Hey man, first of all: great job!

Im playing around with your code and tried to get it to work and it does give me an error at line 20

slackbot:20: error: invalid operands of types 'const char [39]' and 'const char [43]' to binary 'operator+'

 #define SLACK_BOT_TOKEN "xoxb-111111111111-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx" // Get token by creating new bot integration at https://my.slack.com/services/new/bot 

                         ^

C:\Users\work\Desktop\arduino-slack-bot-master\arduino-slack-bot-master\slackbot\slackbot.ino:177:57: note: in expansion of macro 'SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'

   http.begin("https://slack.com/api/rtm.start?token=" + SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_SSL_FINGERPRINT);

                                                         ^

exit status 1
invalid operands of types 'const char [39]' and 'const char [43]' to binary 'operator+'

Well has it to do with the format of the token? I can't change that. Thanks!

Thank you!

Removing the + sign between "https://slack.com/api/rtm.start?token=" and SLACK_BOT_TOKEN may do the trick. Also, are you using the latest Arduino version with the latest ESP8266 package?

I haven't run this code in about 1.5 years, so things may have changed since.

Wow, that was quick! Yeah, the "+" was the issue, it compiled w/o errors just now.

Shall I do a PR?

Thanks so much, Urish!
