tbot's Introduction

Welcome to TBot

Tbot is based on Hubot (which you can read more about on the original README.md file

This TBot is in action with the Security Innovation Slack environment, so if you have access to it, say hi to tbot there

How to run TBot locally

Here is how to run locally and test it

clone this repo using :

[email protected]:TeamMentor/TBot.git**

open folder and install dependencies

cd TBot
npm install

run using

bin/hubot

(note: you might need to press enter once, and locally , you can ignore that HUBOT_HEROKU_KEEPALIVE_URL message)

ask tbot for help

tbot help

ask tbot to open some doors :)

tbot open the house doors
tbot open the pod bay doors

Write a TBot script

Here is a simple way to write a custom TBot script

open the repo in an editor (in this case using Atom) and open the example.coffee file

make a simple change, like for example:

   robot.respond /tm head/i, (res) ->
     res.reply 'The current HEAD commits are:....'

restart tbot and execute the new command

tbot tm head

here is a better example of a more useful tbot command

require 'fluentnode'
request = require 'request'

module.exports = (robot) ->

   robot.respond /tm head/i, (res) ->
     options = {url : 'https://api.github.com/repos/TeamMentor/TM_4_0_Design/git/refs/heads/master', headers: { 'User-Agent': 'Tbot'}}

     request options, (error, response, body)->
      #console.log body.json_Pretty
      res.reply 'The current HEAD of TM Design is: ' + body.json_Parse().object.sha

which when executed shows the current commit SHA value

tbot tm head

once we have a script, the next step is to commit it, and push it to both origin and heroku repos

After deployment to heroku the command will be available on Slack

... when directly chatting with tbot

... or in a channel when sending a message directly to tbot

Usernames longer than 30 characters?

Using the email address as the username is our convention for other platforms & products, including TA. Some email addresses are easily over 30 characters and this limitation prevents consistently using the email address as the username.
