Hubot works when I have an adapter, but when I try to do local development using Shell none of the scripts or packages are loaded.
This works:
root@dev:~/hubot# bin/hubot forever start -w --watchDirectory ${PWD} --watchIgnore ${PWD}/*.log --pidfile ${PWD}/hubot.pid -l ${PWD}/hubot.log -a -c coffee node_modules/.bin/hubot --adapter slack
Strangely, when I try to do local development and testing with:
root@dev:~/hubot# bin/hubot
[Thu Apr 07 2016 00:33:10 GMT+0000 (UTC)] INFO hubot-redis-brain: Using default redis on localhost:6379
eve>
eve> help
usage:
history
exit, \q - close shell and exit
help, \? - print this usage
clear, \c - clear the terminal screen
None of my scripts or modules are showing when I type help in shell. But when I do this in slack, I see all the available scripts and modules:
eve <user> doesn't have <role> role - Removes a role from a user
eve <user> has <role> role - Assigns a role to a user
eve adapter - Reply with the adapter

** Update 1: I turned on debug level logging, and I can see the scripts are being parsed, but the scripts aren't available to me when executing their commands :(**

Update 2: I realized part of my problem was that in the bin/hubot file explicitly has my bot name as eve, while I have been trying it with evedev, my development hubot name. However, I'm still wondering why the help command does not show all the available commands, but when I'm in Slack, it does.
As answer to your Update 2, you need to put the bot's name before you type help, like this:
myhubot> help
usage:
history
exit, \q - close shell and exit
help, \? - print this usage
clear, \c - clear the terminal screen
