Setting up specific bots

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.json attached with the respective bots below 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 &

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

  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" "$@"
