slackbot-chef

This cookbook creates a Python venv, installs and configures slackbot, and creates and starts a service.

Attributes

The following attributes are used (see attributes/default.rb for default values):

node['slackbot']['api_token'] - Slack API token
node['slackbot']['python_ver'] - version of Python (2 or 3)
node['slackbot']['target_dir'] - base directory for slackbot
node['slackbot']['user'] - user owner of files and service
node['slackbot']['group'] - group owner of files
node['slackbot']['plugins'] - list of plugins to load

Recipes

default

Includes the venv, config, and service recipes.

venv

Installs system packages for Python, creates a virtual environment, and installs slackbot into the virtualenv.

config

Generates slackbot_settings.py and bot.py using the attribute data.

service

Creates, enables, and starts a slackbot system service.

Testing

Linting and unit tests

cookstyle linting, foodcritic syntax checking, and rspec unit tests can be invoked via chef exec delivery local verify.

Test kitchen and InSpec

Test kitchen is configured for AWS. To use, you'll need working AWS credentials (most easily configured via aws cli) and a .kitchen.local.yml:

driver:
  aws_ssh_key_id: key_id
  region: us-west-2
  availability_zone: b
  security_group_ids: ["sg-12345abcd"]

Test kitchen will work as normal with kitchen build, kitchen converge, and kitchen verify to run InSpec tests. Alternately, systems with Docker can use the dokken configuration with export KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=.kitchen.dokken.yml. No additional configuration should be required.
