Examples Request about semantic-release-slack-bot

[devinci]

Sorry for the delay in response, busy week.

@BeyondEvil In my original post I did mentioned that I attempted that, which resulted in the CLI output in the first image, and then when I defined the "slackWebhook" as seen in that chunk I outlined (which didn't have it in before), the CLI output was the second image.

I am able to reference the same environment variable using another library via ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }} so I've resorted to using that library that for now.

Appreciate the help though.

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but I will try to answer it anyways. Please add some more description otherwise.

If you want to add the SLACK_WEBHOOK the easy way, you just add this into your environment as you normally do to expose things in your CI environment.

Something like

[export] SLACK_WEBHOOK="https://the-link-you-have"

If you already have a variable that contains this webhook link you can change where it is read from.

Just add the variable slackWebhookEnVar to the plugin config just as the example in the documentation here: https://github.com/juliuscc/semantic-release-slack-bot#function shows it for notifyOnSuccess

You can set it to something like:

{
    slackWebhookEnVar: "ALREADY_EXISTING_ENV_VAR",
    ...
}

I already have a webhook declared.

{
slackWebhookEnVar: "ALREADY_EXISTING_ENV_VAR",
...
}

I did attempt to do that, however the build output when overwriting the env resulting in it requiring the declaration for the slackWebhook:

After I declared the slackWebhook the to same env var it resulted in a request for a package name declaration, which should just use the npm package as far as the instructions outline?

This was my yml chuck for this at the time:

["semantic-release-slack-bot", {
        "notifyOnSuccess": true,
        "notifyOnFail": true,
        "slackWebhookEnVar": "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL",
        "slackWebhook": "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"
    }],

[BeyondEvil]

"slackWebhook": "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"

If I'm not mistaken, if you remove the above line from your yaml config-file, it should work.

Given there exists a environment variable called SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL that contains the Slack webhook URL.

I agree with BeyondEvil's proposed solution. This seems solved to me so I will close it, but feel free to open it if you still have problems 😁
