Python 3.6.4 (32 bit x86) using slackclient locally connects to the RTM API and is able to listen in on slack channel changes. That same code running in Azure (64 bit AMD) does not work.
I've made sure that the Azure python install is as close to my local machine as possible. There are a few package discrepancies (see below) though this should not be the issue since these are not being used:
Azure vs. Local Machine
* numpy 1.15.3 vs. numpy 1.16.0
* pyodbc 4.0.24 vs. pyodbc 4.0.25
* pytz 2018.7 vs. pytz 2018.9
* setuptools 38.5.2 vs. setuptools 28.8.0
I've looked at the following links though I am not sure they will help. Some of the instructions for setting up a proxy in Azure are no longer valid (off by several steps). Recently Azure stopped serving a web app of mine (C#/ASP) when I changed the (totally unrelated Python) setting below.
Application settings->General settings->Python version (from Off to 3.4)
It was a real pain to get it back. I think that I will need a proxy though I would imagine Azure should provide better instructions for this. I am somewhat of an Azure newb though not new enough to start changing things willy nilly!
make Python 3.x Slack (slackclient) use a corporate proxy
Custom Slack Bot cannot connect
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-configure-connectors-with-proxy-servers
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-proxies
import time, logging, os
from slackclient import SlackClient
from datetime import datetime
def main():
#proxies = dict(https="proxy.azure.com:443", http="proxy.azure.com:443")
sc = SlackClient(BOT_TOKEN)
CHANNEL_ID = "some channel id"
logger.debug("Listening to channel '{0}' with id '{1}' for the following actions: ".format(CHANNEL_NAME, CHANNEL_ID))
if sc.rtm_connect():
logger.debug("Connected to Slack!")
while True:
# Read latest messages
# If activity is in CHANNEL_ID do something
else:
logger.debug("Couldn't connect to slack")
On my local machine I get the following (I cut out some of the code):
DEBUG - Listening to channel 'news' with id 'CFDQ3BXYZ' for the following actions:
DEBUG - message_replied
DEBUG - message_deleted
DEBUG - message_changed
DEBUG - Connected to Slack!
However, in Azure, I get the following:
DEBUG - Listening to channel 'news' with id 'CFDQ3BXYZ' for the following actions:
DEBUG - message_replied
DEBUG - message_deleted
DEBUG - message_changed
DEBUG - Couldn't connect to Slack!
The Azure error message is as follows:

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
