MeeseeksBox

A base for stateless GitHub Bot,and one hosted implementation thereof.

See what is a Meeseeks and a MeeseeksBox.

Hosted for you

We host MeeseeksBox(es) and will expose them as GitHub Integrations so you don't have to host and run your own. You can if you want, it should be pretty simple.

The advantage of having one and only one box, is to do cross repository operations (and fix security bugs).

The drawback is if there is a security issue, then we're screwed.

Activate on your Repo

Head there and activate MeeseeksDev on repos you have access to.
On a repository with MeeseeksDev installed say: @MeeseeksDev Hello to be sure MeeseeksDev is correctly installed.
Enjoy

Beta Phase: During Beta phase repository/users need to be vetted/whitelisted open an issue if you wish to participate.

You might also want to tell your CI-integration (like travis-ci) not to test the push and the merge. To do so use:

branches:
  except:
    - /^auto-backport-of-pr-[0-9]+$/

per-repository configuration

If you want per-repository configuration, create a .meeseeksdev.yml file at the root of the repository. For now this file allow you to give fine-grained permissions to users.

users:
  <username>:
    can:
      - <command 1>
      - <command 2>
      - ...
  <username>
    can:
      - ...

This will allow <username> to ask @meeseeksdev to perform above commands. The conf file is the one that sits on the repository default branch (usually master).

What can a MeeseeksBox do ?

Comment on a Pr or issue.

You may put multiple commands, one per line.

MrMeeseeks may not like what you ask, and just ignore you.

@MeeseeksDev hello

Respond with

Hello {user} look at me, I'm Mr Meeseeks

To test whether a Meeseeks understand you.

@MeeseeksDev backport [to] {branch}

If issued from a PR which is merged, attempt to backport (cherry-pick the merge commit) on an older branch and submit a PR with this backport (on said branch)

Apply origin-pr labels and milestone to backport.

No option to push directly (yet), if implemented should apply only with clean backport.
Investigate what to do in case of conflict
- likely commit with conflict, and let maintainers resolve conflict

Repo admins only

Note: Cloning can take a long-time. So expect MrMeeseeks to be busy while this happen. Also heroku has a 2min deadline and other limitations, so MrMeeseeks can likely be killed. I haven't implemented a queue yet.

@MeeseeksDev pep8ify

(in progress)

If issued from a PR, will apply autopep8 to the current lines changed by this PR, and push an extra commit to it that fixes pep8.

Code in progress and due to GitHub API limitation only works if MeeseeksDev also available on Source repo of the PR.

Repo admins only, plan to make it available to PR author as well.

MeeseeksDev Bot need to be installed on the PR source repository for this to work. If it's not it will ask you to do so.

@MeeseeksDev migrate [to] {target org/repo}

Needs MeeseeksBox to be installed on both current and target repo. Command issuer to be admin on both.

MeeseeksDev will open a similar issue, replicate all comments with links to first, migrate labels (if possible).

@MeeseeksDev close

Close the issue. Useful when replying by mail

@MeeseeksDev open

Reopen the issue.

@MeeseeksDev tag {comma, separated, case sensitive, taglist}

Tag with said tags if availlable (comma separated, need to be exact match)

@MeeseeksDev untag {comma, separated, case sensitive, taglist}

Remove said tags if present (comma separated, need to be exact match)

@MeeseeksDev merge [merge|squash|rebase]

Issuer needs at least write permission.

If Mergeable, Merge current PR using said methods (merge if no arguments)

Simple extension.

Most extension and new command for the MeeseeksBox are only one function, for example here is how to let everyone request the zen of Python:

from textwrap import dedent

@everyone
def zen(*, session, payload, arguments):
    comment_url     = payload['issue']['comments_url']
    session.post_comment(comment_url,
    dedent(
        """
        Zen of Python ([pep 20](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/))
        ```
        >>> import this
        Beautiful is better than ugly.
        Sparse is better than dense.
        ....
        Although never is often better than *right* now.
        Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
        ```
        """
    ))

The session object is authenticated with the repository the command came from. If you need to authenticate with another repository with MeeseeksBox installed yield the org/repo slug.

@admin
def foo(*, session, payload, argument):
    other_session = yield 'MeeseeksBox/MeeseeksBox'
    if other_session:
        print('you are allowed to access MeeseeksBox/MeeseeksBox')
        other_session.do_stuff()
    else:
        session.post_comment("Sorry Jerry you are not allowed to do that.")

Why do you request so much permission ?

GitHub API does not allow to change permissions once given (yet). We don't want you to go though the process of reinstalling all integrations.

We would like to request less permission if necessary.

Setup.

These are the environment variable that need to be set.

INTEGRATION_ID The integration ID given to you by GitHub when you create an integration
BOTNAME Name of the integration on GitHub, should be without the leading @, and with the [bot]. This is used for the bot to react to his own name, and not reply to itself...

TODO

Warnings

This is still alpha software, user and org that can use it are still hardcoded. If you want access open an issue for me to whitelist your org and users.

Because of GitHub API limitation, MeeseeksBox can not yet make the distinction between read-only and read-write collaborators.
