@zond I'll need to add a DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN value to GitHub secrets or something. Can you help me with that?

Currently all the secrets needed are stored in App Engine Datastore, see for example https://github.com/zond/diplicity/blob/master/auth/sendgrid.go#L50 where it fetches a Sendgrid key used to send emails via Sendgrid (which may not be functional anymore, people have reported that email deliveries don't work).

When running locally, I typically have just uploaded the secret using e.g. https://github.com/zond/diplicity/blob/master/game/handler.go#L664.

Note, the methods here which get the provinces/order types are just returning static data. Will get correct data in a later PR

Note, for now all values in the newly created game are fixed. We can gradually add more customizability.

Are you sure you need this? Why not just use &api.Api{} instead of api.CreateApi()?

I have a very strong suspicion that using discordgo won't work well in the long run. The reason is that if I understand https://github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo/blob/v0.28.1/wsapi.go#L50 correctly it connects to Discord using a WebSocket. App Engine doesn't play well with WebSockets - it is a fully HTTP request based environment. Any API call to internal App Engine things like datastore, memcache, async tasks etc, need a HTTP request to produce a proper App Engine context (like you artificially do in I understand it works for you in a dev_appserver.py setup, but before you invest too much in discordgo you should probably test it in a production App Engine deployment. I suspect that e.g. datastore operations won't work with the home-made authenticated requests. And even if it works, it would be a bit hacky and might break without warning due to internal changes. Maybe. What might work, to make sure that every action initiated from the Discord side (messages to the bot causing things to happen) work in the App Engine world (by having an up-to-date HTTP request to create an up-to-date App Engine context), is use https://discord.com/developers/docs/quick-start/getting-started#adding-an-interaction-endpoint-url. I'm not sure if this changes the available features of Discord apps, I guess that needs some research. |
