###Dependencies:

  • moment
  • octokat
  • node-fetch
  • underscore
  • fuse.js

###Configuration:

  • HUBOT_JIRA_URL https://jira-domain.com:9090
  • HUBOT_JIRA_USERNAME
  • HUBOT_JIRA_PASSWORD
  • HUBOT_JIRA_TYPES_MAP {"story":"Story / Feature","bug":"Bug","task":"Task"}
  • HUBOT_JIRA_PROJECTS_MAP {"web":"WEB","android":"AN","ios":"IOS","platform":"PLAT"}
  • HUBOT_JIRA_TRANSITIONS_MAP [{"name":"triage","jira":"Triage"},{"name":"icebox","jira":"Icebox"},{"name":"backlog","jira":"Backlog"},{"name":"devready","jira":"Selected for Development"},{"name":"inprogress","jira":"In Progress"},{"name":"design","jira":"Design Triage"}]
  • HUBOT_JIRA_PRIORITIES_MAP [{"name":"Blocker","id":"1"},{"name":"Critical","id":"2"},{"name":"Major","id":"3"},{"name":"Minor","id":"4"},{"name":"Trivial","id":"5"}]
  • HUBOT_GITHUB_TOKEN - Github Application Token
  • HUBOT_GITHUB_ORG - Github Organization or Github User

Note that HUBOT_JIRA_USERNAME should be the JIRA username, this is not necessarily the username used if you log in via the web. To determine a user's username, log in as that user via the web, and check the user profile. Frequently, users may log in using an email address such as 'bob@somewhere.com' or a stem, such as 'bob'; these may or may not match the username in JIRA.

####A note about chat:jira user lookup In order for direct messages (notifications) and a few other username based commands to work JiraBot attempts to match JIRA users with chat users by email address. This has been tested primarily on the Hubot Slack adapter and may not work without modification on others. The take away is that you must have the same e-mail address on both services for this to work as expected.

####Notifications via Webhooks In order to receive JIRA notifications you will need to setup a webhook. You can find instructions to do so on Atlassian's website. You will need your hubot to be reachable from the outside world for this to work. JiraBot is listening on /hubot/jira-events. Currently the following notifications are available:

  • You are mentioned in a ticket in either the description or in a comment
  • You are assigned to a ticket
  • The following notifications apply if you are assigned to the ticket:
    • A new comment is left on the ticket
  • The following notifications apply if you are watching the ticket in question:
    • Work begins on the ticket (enters the In Progress state or similar)
    • The ticket is closed
    • A new comment is left on the ticket
