Introduction

The main goal of this project is to provide a smart bot, which enables the direct communication between Jenkins and Slack Channel. Users can interact with Jenkins and control various features of jobs by directly sending commands within a Slack Channel.

Implementations

The project is consist of two independent Java implementations.

  • Jenkins Plugin

    The bot is running inside Jenkins as a plugin, which is built on top of Slack plugin for Jenkins and Instant Messaging Plugin. The manager of Jenkins server must install the plugin to activate the bot.

  • Remote SlackBot

    The bot can run independently of both Jenkins and Slack. The interaction of Jenkins is implemented via Remote Access API. --- Under Construction ---

Installation Guide

    5. If the Jenkins is protected, a valid Jenkins user Id must be provided, otherwise most commnands won't work. You can also use this to restrict which commands can be executed via the bot, by removing the respective permissions for this user.

    6. Save

    7. Go to your Slack channel and try "!jenkins botsnack apple"
