Connection failed.

I've followed the guide and did all the actions but still recieve an error when trying to run a bot:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Bot\starterbot\lib\site-packages\slackclient\client.py", line 52, in rtm_connect
self.server.rtm_connect(use_rtm_start=with_team_state, **kwargs)
File "c:\Bot\starterbot\lib\site-packages\slackclient\server.py", line 85, in rtm_connect
raise SlackLoginError(reply=reply)
slackclient.server.SlackLoginError
Connection failed. Exception traceback printed above.

Any idea?

Managed to work it around by removing (with_team_state=False):

But now receiving following error:

File "starterbot3.py", line 66, in
command, channel = parse_bot_commands(slack_client.rtm_read())
File "c:\Bot\starterbot\lib\site-packages\slackclient\client.py", line 135, in rtm_read
json_data = self.server.websocket_safe_read()
File "c:\Bot\starterbot\lib\site-packages\slackclient\server.py", line 194, in websocket_safe_read
data += "{0}\n".format(self.websocket.recv())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'recv'

Did you ensure that you exported the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN environmental variable?

I've managed to fix it by downgrading Python version - apparently there was some conflict between windows 10 and python 3.6.4 (if I remember well) around TCPIP

Ah, understood. Good to know!
