Error when starting bot locally.

[lastcoolnameleft]

When I clone this repo and try to run locally, I get the following error.

$ node ./server.js
/Users/thfalgou/git/tmp/echobot/node_modules/botbuilder/lib/bots/ChatConnector.js:59
        var isEmulator = req.body['channelId'] === 'emulator';
                            ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'body' of undefined

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:139:9)

Digging into the code, I believe that this is because server.js is not passing in expected req, res variables:

See:

I'm baffled as to why this is happening on server.js startup opposed to waiting till the first request comes in; however, that might be something due to restify.

Do you have the latest code? I just checked in an update yesterday.

Yes. I just found out about the repo today. I've confirmed that HEAD points to dd52d6f.

To reproduce the problem, I run "git pull && rm -rf node_modules && npm install && npm start".

I just created #4 which fixes the problem for me. I'm encountering this issue with Node v.6.6.0 after a clean clone and running "npm install && npm start"
