slackUploadFile returns null response

[rakesh-burugugadda]

What feature do you want to see added?

Does the method slackUploadFile return any resonse?

My use case is that I want to:

1. Upload a file along with an initialComment to slack
2. Upload another file inside a thread of the above message

I haven't found a way to upload multiple files with a single message and ended up on a way to send the remaining files to the thread as shown here. But the slackUploadFile method is returning a null response(in the documentation slackSend is used).

Upstream changes

No response

+1 for this enhancement - I would like to access the URL of the uploaded file when using this method

To do so your file path needs to match multiple files currently.

e.g. in the example:

slackUploadFile(channel: "cool-threads:" + slackResponse.ts, filePath: "*.txt", initialComment:  "A file, inside a thread.")

All files matching *.txt will be uploaded with one initial comment

I'm actually referring to the permalink URL which Slack generates for the uploaded file
