Facebook replies over and over endlessly

[Christian Montoya]

Hi, built a simple Facebook integration that just echoes the text and it's replying over and over and over (and after the first reply it has lost the text from the request).

Code:

const botBuilder = require('claudia-bot-builder');
const Promise = require('bluebird');
const lookup = Promise.promisify(require('whois').lookup);
const rp = require('request-promise');

// bunch of functions that aren't relevant to this

function dotcom(request) {

    switch(request.type) {
        case 'slack-message-action':
            return dotcom_slack_message_action(request);
            break;
        case 'slack-slash-command':
            return dotcom_slack_slash_command(request);
            break;
        case 'facebook':
            return 'You said: '+request.text;
            break;
        default:
            return 'Dunno who you are. I refuse to talk...'
            break;
    }

}

// user input is request.text
module.exports = botBuilder( request => dotcom(request) );

Ok, so, you enabled message delivery reports. We are sending them too through the Bot builder and they have the same type as the normal message (type: "facebook").
There's 2 things you can do:

1. check if request.text exists (unless you are handling postbacks and attachments)
2. disable delivery and read reports in fb app webhook settings.

We removed this in v1.3.2: https://github.com/claudiajs/claudia-bot-builder/releases/tag/v1.3.2
