slack-term: App crashes with unsupported block type error when selecting specific channels

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md


Version: Master Oct7 Installation method: GO build locally

The application works great but there are 2 slack channels that crash the app with the following error unsupported block type. I’ve run the app with -debug flag in order to get a more detailed trace of the error but the app crashes with the same unsupported block type error.

I assume there is some malformed content in those channels but I can’t figure out what that could be.

Has anyone see or reported this behavior previously? I searched the issues for this project and haven’t found anything similar to this.

Same error here, but it’s happening when starting slack-term rather then on any specific channel (although perhaps the default channel is the specific channel that’s causing the crash). My Slack workspace has a lot of integrations including some custom ones, and I wonder if that’s a clue as to the cause.

Moved from old to new setup in my Ubuntu 18.04 and i am also facing the same problem when starting up the slack-term.

Fixes. 👍

Updated master branch to use latest commit from nlopes/slack. Does that resolve the issue?

Can confirm this issue is resolved for me.

@khanhtc1202 I have the fix merged over on my slack-term fork if you want to give it a go: https://github.com/acaloiaro/slack-term

This is indeed related to nlopes/slack#579; and I’ve proposed a patch there.
