Medera is a Slack bot with life goals.
Medera is a project of the Rochester, NY, functional programming user group.
A Medera installation constists of two components:
Hello, world!
Used for internal error testing.
Prints a list of connected minion nodes.
Lists the skills available from the minion node@host
Gets some information about the minion node@host
.
Skills can be loaded from a JSON file. The format is as follows.
[
{
"description": "A brief description of what this skill does",
"verb": "do",
"noun": "thing",
"command": "/bin/cat /some/file.txt"
}
]
When minion node@host
loads this skill, it can be executed from Slack by the
invocation do-thing node@host
(verb-noun nodename@nodehost
). The skills
JSON file can be specified when running a minion via the MINION_SKILLS
environment variable.
Note, the master node may also be provided with a skills file.
Requirements: Elixir, Postgres, and a Slack API token.

To stop a minion:

Contributions are welcome! Before contributing, make sure that your code is tested, all tests pass, dialyzer does not return any warnings or errors, and credo does not return any warnings.
The tests assume that a postgres database can be created with the name "medera_test" - either via docker or a local postgres installation.
The tests also require a minion node to be running with the name
minion@localhost
.
To automate running the tests:
./scripts/run_tests.sh
Or, if you want to see a coverage report:
TEST_TASK=coveralls.html ./scripts/run_tests.sh
To run static type analysis with dialyzer:
mix dialyzer
To run static code quality analysis with credo:
mix credo --strict
