Summary
As described in #536, hubot-slack sometimes appears to disconnect and never come back. There is a
disconnect
event which occurs specifically when the RTM client has disconnected and will not try again; this is currently not handled by the codebase, so that would explain why what we're seeing is going uncaught. In this PR, I've added a new handler for that method; right now I'm having that close the bot entirely, allowing the running process manager to clean up and restart Hubot.Requirements (place an
