Someone can have a look at this, but I suspect it's because Slack deprecated the RTM API. What version of @slack/client are you running? It might have been introduced by this commit.

I'm not sure whether the RTM API is deprecated or disabled, if it's the former then we can pin a version of @slack/client that still has the constructor.

Regardless, this bridge is being slowly phased out in favour of a unified bridge that will replace this and slack-irc, so this won't be an issue for long.

Thanks for bringing this up!

No problem. I just need a bridge from discord to slack and vice versa. Thought I would give this a try but ran into this issue.
A friend helped me and found the issue was the case.
RTMClient: { [Function: RTMClient] loggerName: 'RTMClient' },
RTMClient not RtmClient
Fixing that lead to more errors and I'm not familiar with node enough to continue fixing it.

Just created a PR, migrating the slack bot to the new Events API which fixes this issue.
