Now supports the new Webhook method of interacting with Slack.

This is a little app notifies Slack of any changes in the build status on your CruiseControl.rb install. It also support github as a source code repository to link to a commit. Other can easily be extended if needed

Installation

Install as a gem

gem install cruisecontrolrb-to-slack

or add to your Gemfile

# Gemfile
gem "cruisecontrolrb-to-slack"

and run bundle install

or from source

git clone git@github.com:epinault/cruisecontrolrb-to-slack.git
cd cruisecontrolrb-to-slack
bundle install
rake build
gem install ./pkg/cruisecontrolrb-to-slack-0.2.0.gem

Configuration

First you will need to create an incoming webhook from Slack integration. You will need to copy the token and the team name of that URL to setup the next part.

Make sure to define the following environment variable as they are required in either you .profile or /etc/profile.d/cruisecontrolrc-to-slack.sh (for all users)

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=webhook_url       # the webhook url you received from Slack
CC_HOST=your_cruise_control_host    # (e.g builder.cruisecontrol.com)

The following are optionals

Basic auth for your CruiseControlrb install (recommended):

CC_USERNAME=your_username
CC_PASSWORD=your_password

SLACK_USERNAME=your_username     # Name to show for the message coming in  [Default: cruisecontrol]
SLACK_CHANNEL=your_channel       # the channel to receive notification  [Default: #general] (include the '#')
POLLING_INTERVAL							   # polling interval in seconds. defaults to 5 seconds.
