Irritant

A simple command line tool that connects tools for workflows. Currently supported:

• Jira
• Git
• Slack

This is intended for teams that use several tools and need them to work together. For example, it can search jira tickets based on commits in git and notify the committers in slack about missing data, upon deployment etc.

Configuration

You may use the option -Dconfig.file=/my/path/to/config.conf to specify a config file in a non-standard locaiton.

Configure access to Jira:

Note that instead of your real password, you should use an API Token: API Tokens

jira {
  uri =  "https://my-project.atlassian.net"
  username = "JIRA_USER"
  password = "JIRA_PWD"
}

Configure access to Slack:

Create Legacy Token: Legacy Tokens

slack {
  token = "LEGACY_TOKEN"
  post-as-user = "Irritant"
}

User Mappings

This list of users maps the users in different systems. Note that each user that is used somewhere (eg. should be triggered, has created a ticket, is tester of a ticket) must be mapped here in order for the program to properly link them. The prettyName is used to talk to people (eg. a friendly message in Slack).

users = [
    { pretty-name: "Bob", jira: "bh", slack: "UXKHL2ELW" }
  , { pretty-name: "Alice", jira: "alice", slack: "UKBGW9XL2" }
]

Supported actions

Running the program without any options shows the help: sbt "runMain com.irritant.Main --help"

Notify Deployed Tickets

sbt "runMain com.irritant.Main notify-deployed-tickets --git-path=/path/to/git/repo"

Searches the commit log of master for recently deployed tickets and notifies the corresponding testers via slack. The commits are found by searching for commit messages like version: 123.1.2 and picking the commits between them.

Notify Missing Testing Instructions

sbt "runMain com.irritant.Main notify-missing-test-instructions --git-path=/path/to/git/repo"

Searches all tickets in jira that are in the current sprint and in testing, but don't have any comment with the text test instructions.

Notify Unresolved Tickets

sbt "runMain com.irritant.Main notify-unresolved-tickets --git-path=/path/to/git/repo"

Searches all tickets in jira that are in the current sprint and unresolved and sends slack messages to the assignees. This is meant to be used late in the sprint to remind people to update their tickets.

Setup Helpers

These actions are helpful to setup an initial irritant config, because that involves configuring all user mappings from various systems.

List Jira Users

sbt "runMain com.irritant.Main list-jira-users --git-path=/path/to/git/repo"

Lists all known users from jira.

List all Slack Users
