Slack-bot

This is a Slack bot that helps facilitate common tasks like reporting issues. Currently, the bot can do the following:

• When the bot is explicitly mentioned in a message (@DPTP bot), it lists all available actions it knows how to do, like file a bug, request a consultation, and more.
• When a specific job link is included in a message, the bot responds with helpful information related to that job.
• In the CoreOS slack space, when someone tags @dptp-helpdesk in the forum-ocp-testplatform channel, the bot sends an automatic reply containing helpful basic information in a new thread.

Local testing

There is an alpha instance of Slack Bot running on the app.ci cluster that you can use for testing by running a mitmproxy and reverse tunneling requests to your local machine.

• Make sure to join the dptp-robot-testing slack space.
• Add your personal ssh key to authorized_keys at https://vault.ci.openshift.org/ui/vault/secrets/kv/show/dptp/sshd-bastion-slack-bot-alpha
• If attempting to test the helpdesk-message handler, update the helpdesk_alias var to your slack user-id in the dptp-robot-testing space
• Run the hack/local-slack-bot.sh script like so: RELEASE_REPO_DIR=<your openshift/release repo dir> bash local-slack-bot.sh
• Now you can go into the dptp-robot-testing space and execute one of the /dptp-* commands, and it should interact with your local slack bot.
