Trying to send some json over this wire and parse it back on the other side....
any hints or pointers?

latest version : 2.8.2 :

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.code.gson/gson -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
    <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.2</version>
</dependency>

Actually we got this :

<properties>
		<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
		<java.version>1.5</java.version>
		<gson.version>2.8.2</gson.version>

Why am I getting this error

client token: N/A
diagnostics: User class threw exception: net.gpedro.integrations.slack.SlackException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://hooks.slack.com/services//
at net.gpedro.integrations.slack.SlackApi.send(SlackApi.java:96)
at net.gpedro.integrations.slack.SlackApi.call(SlackApi.java:59)

As shown in the example by slack for sending attachements, text is not a required field. However, your client throws an exception.

    "attachments": [
        {
            "fallback": "Required plain-text summary of the attachment.",

            ],

If I have cycles I can submit a PR but I wanted to flag this missing attribute to start the conversation. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Is it published in maven central or other repository?

Hi, i'd like to tag (mention) someone while posting from the webhook on a given channel.

It's exactly the same thing as the one described here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40771924/how-to-mention-user-in-slack-client

Is it feasible and if it does, could you please provide me some code snippet ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards.

damn thanks for this !!!

Actually, when i have a look at Slack api (https://api.slack.com/docs/message-attachments#action_fields), i can see the url, while on the slack-webhook code, i only can see

this.name = name;
this.text = text;
this.type = type;
this.value = value;

Slack side :

{
  "text": "<@W1A2BC3DD> approved your travel request. Book any airline you like by continuing below.",
  "channel": "C061EG9SL",
  "attachments": [
    {
      "fallback": "Book your flights at https://flights.example.com/book/r123456",
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "button",
          "name": "travel_request_123456",
          "text": "Book flights 🛫",
          "url": "https://flights.example.com/book/r123456",
          "style": "primary"
        },
        {
          "type": "button",
          "name": "travel_cancel_123456",
          "text": "Cancel travel request",
          "url": "https://requests.example.com/cancel/r123456",
          "style": "danger"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Any chance of getting this library pushed to Central?

Null-check is needed for the setter with Date param because mappers like Mapstruct are mapping null value to it. I had to make a workaround in my mapper like this:

@mapping(target = "timestamp", expression = "java(slackAttachment.getTimestamp() == null ? null : slackAttachment.getTimestamp().getTime() / 1000L)")

When you call the api via the SlackApi object created without Proxy parameter, it tries to open the connection with Proxy.NO_PROXY(means direct connection).

System.setProperty("https.proxyHost","test.proxy.com"); // will be ignored
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort","8081"); // will be ignored
SlackApi api = new SlackApi(WEBHOOK_URL);
api.call(slackMessage); // open connection directly

I think this is not what most developers expect.

For some reason I have a version of 2.0.1 of this repo, and I just saw that the only latest version you have is 1.*.

What happened ? did you remove 2.* release, or am I really that drunk. funny thing is, it still shows in mvnrepository.

Since javadoc plugin upgrade i got a single warning :

1 warning
[WARNING] Javadoc Warnings

Hi @gpedro,

Thanks for building this! We've added it to our list of community-built integrations but we noticed that you're using our older webhook URL format (https://{domain}.slack.com/services/hooks/incoming-webhook?token={token}) instead of the new format (https://hooks.slack.com/services/{id_1}/{id_2}/{token}).

In order to accept both formats, we're wondering if you could update your integration to simply ask for the full webhook URL rather than the domain and token separately. This will allow people to use either format with your plugin.

Thanks,
Brad @ Slack

Hi,

still me...could you please provide some code samples for SlackAttachment to see how to format nice looking messages ?

It makes it easier to manage versions
..also upgrade the easziest ones

could you please throw a subclass of RuntimeException in the event a message fails to send? doing this makes it very difficult to distinguish between other RuntimeExceptions that may have been thrown in a larger block of code.

thanks!!

I want to add
"unfurl_media": true
"unfurl_links": true
to my SlackMessage.
Is there any way to do it?

As mentioned in the title the maven repo is not working.
