You must bind receive method like this now:

controller.middleware.receive.use(
  watsonMiddleware.receive.bind(watsonMiddleware),
);

Thanks heaps!

Hi @Naktibalda ,
What if i want to use message filtering with this new method?
Can you give one sample with the new method?
Thanks

from botkit-middleware.

It is exactly the same.

from botkit-middleware.

Do you mean it is the same as below,

const receiveMiddleware = (bot, message, next) => {
if (message.type === 'direct_message') {
watsonMiddleware.receive(bot, message, next);
} else {
next();
}
};

slackController.middleware.receive.use(receiveMiddleware);

We don't need to bind receive method?
Also, if i use the same method as above, it doesn't work.

from botkit-middleware.

Bind is only necessary if method is passed as parameter in order to allow it to access other fields of middleware.

from botkit-middleware.

It doesn't work as it is. Can you please provide with a sample?

Thanks

from botkit-middleware.

No, I can't give you another sample.

It doesn't work as it is.
Please be more specific. Do you get an error or does it do nothing?

The first guess is that a value of message.type is not what you think it is, so do some debugging with console.log.
