Mattermost Trac Bot

The Mattermost Trac Bot connects to a Mattermost server, listens on some channels for ticket IDs, and replies to the messages with information about the tickets.

A typical conversation could look like:

<user1>     @user2 have you fixed ticket #35 yet ?
<trac_bot>  Ticket 35 (defect, new) — Panic in backend code
<user2>     Not yet, going to take a look right now!

Features

• Can connect to one or several Trac instances, using either HTTP or form based authentication
• Can listen to an arbitrary number of channels, and be configured to allow only certain channels to query certain Trac instances
• Easy to install, well documented: compiles to a single, static binary, and shipped with a comprehensively documented configuration file.

Installation

Until there are binary releases, you need the Go toolchain to get and compile the binary:

GOPATH=$(pwd) go get -u github.com/abustany/mattermost-trac-bot

If everything went well, you should have a mattermost-trac-bot binary in the bin directory. Download the sample config.yaml file from this repository, adjust it to your needs, and start the bot with

./bin/mattermost-trac-bot -config config.yaml
