Description

I'm having trouble with the Shadowrun 5th Edition API. The "!sr5 --rollInit" command doesn't actually send the tokens to the initiative tracker, although it does roll in the chat. The technotes has an entry for 1.2, but I can't see that 1.2 has actually been uploaded. Is there an update missing, or am I missing a step in the process for using the API? The readme implies that this should be plug-and-play, but maybe I've missed something?

Research direction

Start in the Shadowrun 5th Edition directory and read its README and technotes entry for version 1.2. Reproduce the !sr5 --rollInit command, then trace why its roll does not send tokens to the initiative tracker; done means the command both rolls in chat and populates the tracker as documented.
