Error when parsing json coming from slack

[marcelorcorrea]

Hello Patrick,
I'm trying to integrate Slack with Dialogflow, but I'm getting an error when the lib tries to parseFromJson.
Pretty much because the originalRequest.data.user is a String and not an user object.
The error is:
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 175 path $.originalRequest.data.user] with root cause"

When using google assistant it works perfectly because originalRequest.data.user is an user object.
Am I doing something wrong on this?

Thanks for reporting. I have yet to use slack integration with the lib, apparently the json for the user field is either a empty string, or possibly just an Id. Either way, this will likely take a custom TypeAdapter for the Request. Can you post the json that Dialogflow sends to you?

Hello Patrick, surething.
Here's the json:
"originalRequest":{"source":"slack_testbot","data":{"event_ts":"1514991529.000290","channel":"D8A39C5U1","text":"what\u0027s the weather for today","type":"message","user":"U8AKP8J5A","ts":"1514991529.000290"}}
the user is a String not an object, that's why it's breaking.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I would like to get to this, but not a priority at the moment, so not sure when it will happen. PRs are welcome.
