This is part of our efforts to have the documentation for a
particular bot live in this repo but still be able to render it
in the main repo (in a way similar to how we render the webhooks
docs).
This function allows us to specify the path to a bot's doc.md file
in zerver.lib.integrations.BotIntegration.
doc.md better describes the style of documentation that will live
inside these files, since we want these to be similar to our
webhooks' doc.md files in terms of how these are rendered and
composed of Markdown macros.
This is part of our efforts to have the documentation for a

This function allows the calling code to get the absolute path
to the bots/ directory. This will allow us to specify an
arbitrary path (jinja2.env.loader.searchpath)
to look for templates for bots' documentation.

For the logo, if a particular bot has a logo, get_bot_logo_path
expects to find it as /zulip_bots/bots/{bot_name}/logo.png or
/zulip_bots/bots/{bot_name}/logo.svg.
The help message string was modified in yoda.py file to correctly
instruct the user. But the help message string was not modified
accordingly in the test file.
In case of an errored input (not consistent with the format
of input that the bot seeks), Converter bot was displaying the
errored part first, along with the error message.
This can lead to many failure, if removing_at_mention function
is not working properly then the input '@bot-name 2 m cm' leads
to the bot getting stuck in infinite loop as converter bot will
want to output '@bot-name not a valid number' and hence calling
itself again.
Add error handling support for empty messages and invalid
input to yoda bot, which was previously making the bot crash.
Add comments to describe tests.
Since we want our bots to be both python 2 and python 3 compatible,
we use six to make up for both of them and run the bot smoothly.
'http.client' was basically used for error-handling by the author
of the bot, urllib errors can be handled by the urllib itself. So,
using this for simplicity.
urllib.request.urlopen raises URLError on protocol errors.
The zulip-run-bot script now supports passing in a --path-to-bot
option. This allows users to specify the path to the source file
for their own custom bots, the first step towards being able to
support out-of-tree bots.
To run an existing bot in the zulip_bots package, just passing in
the name of the bot should suffice.
There is no library as 'http.bot_handler'.
'http.client' is what the author of this bots initially wrote.
Searching through the git history shows that someone mistakenly
replaced 'client' with 'bot_handler' here.
get_config_info function in 'ExternalBotHandler' class was
using 2 undefined variables, which wasn't allowing bots to
access information from config file.
Fixed it, bots with api key working now.
Previously, the annotation for the (now removed)send-reply
function was also wrong, as "send-message" function of
EmbeddedBotHandler class does not return any value, contrary
to "Dict[str, Any]" as specified by the funtion.
This is done as a follow up for zulip/zulip#5842.
