open-bot

An unopinionated bot driven by a configuration file in the repository.

  • Operates on issue/PRs
  • Triggered by webhook event or manual batch processing (CLI)
  • Rules specify behavior
  • Runs on AWS with serverless

Configuration

  • Add the bot's webhook to the webhooks in the repo/org configuration (content type json, events: Issue comment, Issues, Pull request, Pull request review, Pull request review comment, Status)
  • Create a open-bot.yaml file in the repository root.
  • Add the bot name to the yaml file (bot property)
  • Add rules to the rules property (array) see Rules

How does it work?

It checks all filters to get the lastest date where the filter matches. If not all filters match it stops here.

For each action it checks if and when the action was already applied. If yes it compares action date if lastest filter date and breaks if action was applied after filter match. Elsewise it runs the action.

This means: It makes sure that actions runs once after filters match. If filters match again, actions run again.

Deploy your own bot

  • Clone the repo
  • Run yarn
  • Run node open-bot configurate and answer questions
  • Run yarn run deploy-prod to deploy the bot (takes a while)
  • Run node open-bot to gain access to the other tools, i. e. batch processing
