Gerrit integration for Slack

What is it?

A daemon that sends updates to Slack channels as noteworthy events happen on Gerrit:

• Passing builds (except WIPs)
• Code/QA/Product reviews
• Comments
• Merges
• Failed builds (sent to owner via slackbot DM)

Configuration

Sample configuration files are provided in config.

slack.yml

Configure your team name and Incoming Webhook integration token here.

gerrit.yml

Set the SSH command used to monitor stream-events on gerrit.

channels.yml

This is where the real fun happens. The structure is as follows:

channel1:
  project:
    - project1*

channel2:
  project:
    - project2*
    - project3
  owner:
    - owner1
    - owner2
    - owner3

This configuration would post all updates from project1 to channel1, likewise for project2 and channel2. Updates to project3 are only posted to channel2 if the change owner is among those listed.

For channels that hate fun, you can turn celebratory emojis off by setting emoji to false.

channel1:
  emoji: false

aliases.yml

In order to ping a user on slack (e.g. for DMs on failed builds, or to @mention them), we need to know their Slack username. By default we assume the gerrit name is equal to the slack name. You can override this behavior on a per-user basis in aliases.yml.

Running the daemon

bundle install
bin/gerrit-slack

Development mode

Run the integration with DEVELOPMENT set to true to see more debug output and to not actually send updates to Slack.

DEVELOPMENT=1 bin/gerrit-slack
