Jarvis' replacement - Githubissues

ph commented 9 years ago

Jarvis has a few issues and has gone rogue a few times, I think its a good time to rewrite it for the greater good.

This is some of the high level features I would like to implement:

Multithreaded, currently Jarvis answers command and do the work in the same thread.
Better Logging, When we launch a command some kind of UUID should be generated and added to all the logging, allow the bot to generated a link to a kibana panel to see the log.
Send the log to Elasticsearch, either directly or with Logstash. (eat your own dog food)
Pluggable bot architecture, we are using hipchat but who knows what will happen.
Can we write extension in any languages?
More stable, why jarvis is down?
Allow http webhooks
Auto update?
Faster: It is possible to use sane native git bindings?
The bot should not run the test but instead ask Jenkins to the status of the test. (reason why publish is so slow.)

@jordansissel any suggestions?

I think part of the challenge is in getting a good base for Jarvis. Can we improve Lita's behavior to make it async? If not, maybe we can look for alternatives.

Also IIRC Lita doesn't work on jruby, which would be the first thing to fix.

Can we have some kind of auto assign or PR for reviews, can the bot bug people to do the reviews?

Well, after looking at the code from lita-hipchat we should already have threads, the threading is handled inside the adapter by the xmpp4r gem which work will callbacks. So we may not see real benefit of it since our is running on MRI and our commands take a long time to run / start so we don't feel they are run in parallels.

Jarvis should be able to create repositories on github with the right permission and with the correct webhooks configured.
