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.
In order to keep all three packages (zulip, zulip_bots,
zulip_botserver) in the same repo, all package files must now
be nested one level deeper.
For instance, python-zulip-api/zulip_bots/zulip_bots/bots/, instead
of python-zulip-api/zulip_bots/bots/.
tools/server_lib contains files copied as-is, or with minor
modifications, from the zulip/zulip repository when the api
code was split into this separate repository.
Adds the file api/bots_api/provision.py that installs dependencies
for bots using pip. This file is also used by run.py when running
a bot. However, for testing, you need to separately provision the bots.
For a large perforce server with many users, this allows projects
to opt-in to zulip notifications by creating the stream for the
branch to be monitored.
Commits to paths for which a stream mapping yields a result,
but no stream exists in Zulip, are simply dropped silently.
This behaviour is opt-in, by setting the configuration key
ZULIP_IGNORE_MISSING_STREAM = True
in the zulip_perforce_config.py file.
The general regex-based linkify in zulip does not allow '@' as the
prefix. In any case we know here that it is definitely a changelist
number, which is better.
Adding P4_WEB="https://p4web.example.com" to the config will enable
this behaviour. If P4_WEB is absent from the config, or has the
value None, no link is inserted.
This fixes multiple paragraphs in a commit message escaping
from the block quote by using triple-backquote quoting instead
of '>' which only applies to one paragraph.
Add another class for bot type as embedded bot, for bots that run directly
on Zulip server. This class uses internal 'internal_send_messages' from
actions.py instead of using the 'send_message' function from Zulip Client
class.
We haven't gone ahead with creating an abstract superclass right away.
We just have two versions for now, it would be easier to iterate a little
more on the interfaces, and then only add the superclass when we're ready
to lock down the interface.
