Allow robot name that differs from irc nick #133

Closed mowings closed 6 years ago

mowings commented 10 years ago

Adds an envar HUBOT_IRC_ROBOT_NAME that will override the default hubot-irc of setting the robot name to the IRC nick. Especially useful if you want your robot to be invoked via a symbol (!ping). Fixes #132

FYI: CI error looks like some kind of transient issue dealing with NPM -- unrelated to changes

Isn't the robot pre-defined? Should we accept and respond to aliases? I thought Hubot took care of building the robot independent of the adapter.

chrisdotcode commented 6 years ago

Yes, that's correct: bin/hubot takes a --name flag, and the bot should be configured independently of the adapter. Because of that, and the fact that this PR is 3 years old (yikes, sorry!), I'm gonna close this.

@mowings @parkr feel free to reply, and I'll re-open.
