Question

Hello I am trying to install Hubot on a Ubuntu machine but can’t get it to run.

I’m using version 2.1.3 of Hubot and following this documentation for hipchat

https://github.com/hipchat/hubot-hipchat

Once I update the package.json file on Hubots root and upload the hipchat.coffee in ./src and run the command. it says cannot find module 'hubot'

I have no idea where this error is coming from and any help would be appreciated.

Edit

It’s now giving me errors regarding not being able to run the hipchat coffee script itself.

TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'robot'
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/hubot/src/hipchat.coffee:7:28)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/hubot/src/hipchat.coffee:234:4)

    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/hubot/bin/hubot:105:4)

This is the file being referred

https://github.com/hipchat/hubot-hipchat/blob/master/src/hipchat.coffee

I havent modified a single line of code. Just executing instructions mentioned in hipchats readme and hubots readme

Thanks

It seems to be an issue with hubot-hipchat 1.0.4 and older versions of Hubot. I resolved this issue by setting the hubot version in packages.json to grab the latest with:

"hubot": ">=1.0.3"
