webbot

This is the code-base for the Web-team irc bot and nicely called webbot.

It runs with Hubot. For more information on Hubot, go to HUBOT.md

Scripts

Here is the list of great scripts that webbot provides:

• acronyms.js: get acronyms from a spreadsheet and translate them
• example.coffee: just a file of code example
• github-action-notifier.js: an endpoint to notify a IRC channel that a GitHub Action as failed
• pull-request-notifications.coffee: an endpoint that listens to webhooks from GitHub and publishes a message on IRC on new pull-requests
• release-notifications.coffee: an endpoint to notify a given channel when a site gets released
• rt-portal.coffee: rt#NUMBER to a clickable link
• status.coffee: an endpoint that returns OK
• toto.coffee: fun scripts

Development

The simplest way to run the site locally is using the dotrun snap:

dotrun

Running the bot in your local terminal will start hubot in console mode (rather than irc), and allow local testing.

In case you want to connect it to IRC from a local machine. You need to get the webbot credentials and run the command:

HUBOT_IRC_PASSWORD=<password> dotrun start-irc

The bot totobot should join the channel #webbot-canonical-web-test.

Deploy

You can find the deployment config in the deploy folder.
