This is a Slackbot which allows users to express interest in issues, and they will be notified when the issue is resolved.
See INSTALL.md.
Users can add themselves as watching a bug by using the slack command:
/watch-bug CPD-1234
They can also add other users to bugs:
/watch-bug CPD-1234 @user, @anotheruser
This will add a comment to the bug to mark it as watched.
Alternatively, it is possible to just mention slack usernames in bugs; valid formats are @username
, <@id|name>
, <@idOrUsername>
.
This can happen in the bug description or in any comment.
When a bug that contains Slack-like mentions (in the description, or any comment) is moved to a DONE resolution, the bot posts a message in a configured Slack channel, @mentioning every user who was marked as a mention in the bug.
