A Slack bot that watches any channel it's invited to for mentions of JIRA issues. If it sees one, it responds with a message consisting of:
ISSUE-1223: Issue summary
https://yourlocation.jira.com/browse/ISSUE-1223
Issue Status (Issue Type)
You'll need to configure a bot on Slack (fixme: Add setup link) and get your API token. Once you have that, set a new environmental variable SLACK_API_TOKEN. Additionally, you'll need to supply JIRA credentials and your JIRA enpoint address. This is because JIRA cloud doesn't support app tokens. Yeah, in 2016 you have to use basic auth if your app doesn't run through a browser.
For local development, you can do this with a .env file, which we've helpfully left out of this repo.
# ENV Sample
SLACK_API_TOKEN=yourtokengoeshere
JIRA_USER=jirauser_notemail
JIRA_PASS=jirapassword
JIRA_PREFIX=https://yourcompany.jira.com/
foreman start
This will open your connection to the Slack API, and your bot will be online. You can connect to it and chat with it directly (it'll behave the same way).
