A lot of these bot dependencies are pretty hefty and shouldn't be
installed as part of the zulip_bots package. So the installation of
these belongs in tools/provision, not in setup.py.
The pip documentation recommends calling pip using a subprocess, instead of
importing it and using it's internal API. The API of pip==10.0.0 is different
from that of older versions, and provisioning is broken with this version.

This commit removes generate_manifest.py and package data files
are now included using the package_data kwarg to setup().
This is because, in certain situations, MANIFEST.in is a bit
finicky. For instance installing a package using:
python setup.py install
doesn't include files specified in MANIFEST.in, while using
pip install ./zulip_bots
does. package_data doesn't pose this problem, ergo it's better
for us.
Users can get an issue from Jira Bot using it's key, and get a response
like the following:

Users can create or edit an issue with Jira Bot with its
- summary,
- project,

- labels, and
- due date
Wit.ai Bot communicates with the Wit.ai API. It can be configured with
any Wit.ai token and allows for setting up a custom handler function to
handle Wit.ai responses.
This commit was originally from @fredfishgames, but it
needed a big rebase due to use letting it sit too long.
Also, we decided not to have shebangs at the top of test
files.
Chess Bot is a bot that allows you to play chess against either another
user or the computer. Use `start with other user` or
`start as <color> with computer` to start a game.
In order to play against a computer, `chess.conf` must be set with the
key `stockfish_location` set to the location of the Stockfish program on
this computer.
Use `bot_handler.storage` to preserve game state across messages.
(@showell also did minor work here to have the test use verify_dialog()
and have the bot respond to empty messages)
This program replaces zulip_bot_output.py, which had
gotten a little out of date.
It should be able to simulate a terminal conversation for
all of our bots, including those that use "advanced" features:
third party config files: tested with giphy
message updates: tested with incrementor
storage: tested with virtual_fs and others
This commit adds a script to automate the PyPA release of the
zulip, zulip_bots and zulip_botserver packages.
The tools/release-packages script would take care of uploading
the packages to PyPA, and push commits to both repos updating the
package versions. If you have commit access to the repos, you
can --push upstream to master. If not, then you can --push
origin to a new branch on your fork and create a PR for those
changes.
Ideally, a release shouldn't take longer than however long it
takes one to type the above command. If you have SSH set up on
GitHub, you won't need to type in your GitHub username and
password. You can also store your PyPA credentials in a file
in your home directory; it isn't very secure, but it saves
time nevertheless.
In zulip_bots/setup.py, we now don't specify a minimum version when
checking for dependency on the zulip package. We just want the
latest one.
In zulip_botserver/setup.py, we now don't specify a minimum version
when checking for dependencies on the zulip and zulip_bots package.
We just want the latest ones.
We now have a custom command in zulip_bots/setup.py to generate
a MANIFEST.in. To generate a MANIFEST for a PyPA release, we
can now run:
python setup.py gen_manifest --release
To generate a non-release MANIFEST, we can run:
python setup.py gen_manifest
This allows us to automate the MANIFEST generation in our
release automation script.
The generate_manifest.py script now takes a --release argument
that generates a separate MANIFEST for a PyPA release that
include:
* doc.md files
* related assets/* files
A release MANIFEST doesn't include logos and fixtures.
A non-release MANIFEST includes everything.
This eliminates the need to setup dev environment and to
create a bot, setup zuliprc file, subscribe the bot to the
stream in order to try out a bot.
Manual command get-bot-output gives the bots response content
directly.
This bot depends on PyDictionary, which isn't very well-implemented
or well-maintained. PyDictionary's dependency on goslate and
goslate's dependency on concurrent.futures has been known to cause
problems in Python 3 virtualenvs. This bot has also been the
source of disruptive BeautifulSoup warnings. Since this bot is only
meant to be an example bot, and for all the above reasons,
it makes sense to remove this bot. The cons of debugging the above
issues outweight the pros of having the bot at all.
