Dryad email processor

This is a bit of infrastructure code that processes automated notification email messages received from Dryad and creates or updates issues in Jira. The logic in a nutshell:

• Publication and private-for-peer-review notifications are ignored.

• Processing of a submission notification depends on whether there is already a Jira curation issue with a matching DOI or not.

  • If there is, the notification is ignored unless the Jira issue status is "Waiting on Peer Review," in which case the issue status is changed to "To Do," any assignee is removed, and the curation status is set to "Submitted."

  • If there is not, a new Jira issue is created.

• Processing of a withdrawal notification similarly depends on whether there is already an existing Jira issue or not.

  • If there is, and the Jira issue status is "Resolved," then the notification is ignored. Otherwise, the issue status is set to "Resolved" with a disposition of "Won't Do," and the curation status is set to "Withdrawn."

  • If there is not, the notification is ignored.

process-dryad-email.mjs can be run under either of two platforms, Node.js or Google Apps Script. A few declarations at the top of the script must be set to match the platform. For either platform, the auth variable must be set to an email address and Jira API token as indicated, where the latter has been obtained from atlassian.com.

Under Node.js, install node-fetch using npm and invoke from the command line as:

node process-dryad-email.mjs message

The script filename must end in .mjs to enable the new ECMAScript-style import statements. message should be a Dryad email message saved in plain text format. The action taken is logged to standard output.

Under Google Apps Script, the script processes all messages received from [email protected] (that are in the project's owner's Gmail account). After processing, all such messages are moved to the trash.

To install the script in Google Apps Script:

• Head to script.google.com and create a project.

• Paste the script code into the editor pane, and set the platform configuration and auth variable as noted above.

• Under Services, add the Gmail API.

• In the project settings pane, check the box that enables viewing appsscript.json.

• Back in the editor pane, edit appsscript.json to add two OAuth scopes, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request, as shown in the file in this distribution.

• View the script code again. Select main as the function to run.

• Run the script. An OAuth window will appear allowing you to grant the project the permissions required.

• The script can now be run at will. Create a trigger to run periodically. There does not appear to be a need to "deploy" the project as such.

process-dryad-email.py, unused, is equivalent code in Python.
