Playing with Milbot

All the .coffee scripts are what are used to respond to requests. If you are creating adding or editing scripts go there.

% scripts/jenkins.coffee

It is easy to edit the scripts robot.respond or robot.hear methods to change or add new abilities to Milbot.

Testing Milbot Locally

You can test your bot by running the following.

% bin/hubot

You'll see some start up output about where your scripts come from and a prompt.

[Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:41:11 GMT] INFO Loading scripts from /home/tomb/Development/hubot/scripts
[Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:41:11 GMT] INFO Loading scripts from /home/tomb/Development/hubot/src/scripts
Hubot>

Then you can interact with hubot by typing hubot help.

Hubot> hubot help

Hubot> animate me <query> - The same thing as `image me`, except adds a few
convert me <expression> to <units> - Convert expression to given units.
help - Displays all of the help commands that Hubot knows about.
...

Take a look at the scripts in the ./scripts folder for examples. Delete any scripts you think are silly. Add whatever functionality you want hubot to have.
