BuildBot

A project by Ændrew Rininsland andrew.rininsland@ft.com in 2016

This is a WIP bot for managing ft-interactive/starter-kit projects.

It is all in TypeScript! It uses Koa 2!

You must use NodeJS >= 4! Set SLACK_ICONS env var to “parrots” if you're awesome!

Documentation

Slack commands are documented here.

To develop:

1. $ git clone https://www.github.com/ft-interactive/buildbot.git
2. $ npm install
3. Create both an incoming and outgoing webhook on Slack
4. Create a .env file (or set up Heroku env vars) with the following values:

   K_INCOMING_HOOK_URL="" # Token for Slack incoming webhook
   K_OUTGOING_HOOK_TOKEN="" # Token for Slack outgoing webhook
   LE_API_KEY="" # CircleCI API key
   UB_API_KEY="" # GitHub bot user API key
   UB_WEBHOOK_TOKEN="" # Token provided by GitHub webhook
   K_ICONS="" # Choose either "parrots" or "default"
   K_GITHUB_WEBHOOK="" # URL to an existing Slack GitHub webhook
   SCLOUD_URL="" # URL to Redis instance
   

5. Begin listening with $ npm start

TODO:

• [x] Add more tasks beyond simply setting up CircleCI
• [x] Write… some… tests…? ?????
• [x] Add token verification for GitHub webhooks (see: lib/github.js)
• [ ] Find some way of verifying CircleCI webhook payload
• [ ] Investigate using GitHub Apps instead of webhooks + bot user
• [ ] Investigate using Slack Apps instead of webhoos + bot user
