Hi there guys! Just started messing around with a discourse instance and wanted to add authentication via slack. Found an existing plugin but it’s broken so I decided to try and patch it up however I am no ruby dev at all and don’t have an env to set up for local testing and whatnot. I’ve published my fixes to the plugin at [GitHub - Kukks/oauth-slack-discourse: Discourse plugin to sign up using slack · GitHub](https://github.com/Kukks/oauth-slack-discourse/) but the discourse builder fails on it and I’m unsure why. Can someone point me in the right direction? 🙂

The code is almost identical to the linkedin auth plugin.
