Problems with slack sending files as of 2023.10

Third party integrations
,

in 2023.9 (and long before), I’ve had the following working:

- id: '169515xxxxxx'
  alias: Shop Upload
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: security-cam/shop/#
  condition: []
  action:
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 1
      seconds: 15
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: notify.xxxx
    data:
      message: Uploaded Video
      title: Motion below deck
      target: '#testing'
      data:
        file:
          path: /media/shop/recording_{{ trigger.payload }}.mp4

However since 2023.10.0 and .1 the “attachment” of a file in the message (i.e. notifications work, if I remove “data” from the notification")

yields the the following error:

2023-10-10 18:41:31.837 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.moss_video_snapshot_and_video_upload] Shop Video Snapshot and Video Upload: Parallel action at step 4: parallel 1: Error executing script.

Uncertain if the slack api changed with the 2023.10, or something else?

If I downgrade back to 2023.9.3 all works well again.

I have the exact same fault.
Any updates on a solution?

At least I’m not completely crazy then :slight_smile:

When I put slack integration in debug…

it looks ALOT like:

I just put this in:

A feature recently added to the slack integration (support for slack replies) introduced the bug. It’s been fixed and should be in 2023.10.02.

My apologies for the hassle it’s created. Given the small nature of the fix you may have success applying the fix manually in the meantime. (I can’t speak to whether that’s a supported method for HA though)
