Individual bots can be set up manually by the process described below:

  • Clone our OnBot repository from github (git clone https://github.com/CognizantOneDevOps/OnBot.git)
  • Copy the desired bot scripts from the scripts folder of the cloned repo
  • Run this command: npm install -g yo generator-hubot
  • Create a parent folder myhubot
  • Run the following commands:

          cd myhubot

          yo hubot

  • Copy the scripts from the cloned repository (first step) into myhubot/scripts folder

  • yo generator creates the package.json file under myhubot directory

  • Download the workflow_botname.json attached with the respective bots below, then rename it as workflow.json and place into the myhubot directory

  • Run: npm install
  • Now set the required environment variables (As mentioned below in Environment Variables for specific bots section)

  • Finally, start the bot as a background process (logs will be redirected to hubot.log file): nohup ./bin/hubot -a slack > hubot.log &


    Info

    Before starting the bot, Run npm install hubot-<adapter> to install specific node module for the adapter (chat application) you want to use.


    Note

    At any time the bot running in background can be stopped by this command: ps aux | grep -ie <botname> | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

    The <botname> can be fetched from the following line of the bin/hubot file:

    exec node_modules/.bin/hubot --name "botname" "$@"
