Fixed​

  • Project

    • pre-commit was not aborting when lint failed.
    • Fixed several eslint warnings.
  • @botonic/cli
    • Preserved src/nlu directories for all templates (added .gitkeep file). Remove these files before running botonic train.
    • Added missing calls with await.
    • Used rimraf in favor of fs.rmdirSync.
    • Templates: Call CleanWebpackPlugin with
      { cleanOnceBeforeBuildPatterns: ['dist'] } to prevent occasional builds from crashing. We strongly suggest to add this line in your bot's webpack.config.js if updating from previous versions.

    • postMessage promises are now forwarded.
    • Better scrollbar handling when Webchat is hovered.
    • Limit attachment sizes to 10MB.

    • Fixed issue causing Botonic Logo to be visible during few milliseconds in production.
