slack-testimonials-bot

Slack bot that shares and promotes awareness of KA's testimonials

To run locally:

  • First run make secrets.py.
  • Then run make deps
  • Then run make serve

== Deployment

There's two separate things to deploy here:

The api endpoints that send new testimonials to slack runs as a appengine standard application. Deploy these by running make deploy. To test that the deploy succeeded, you can run: curl http://khan-testimonials-turtle.appspot.com/test_new_testimonial and verify that a new default testimonial is sent to the #testimonials channel.

For access to the App Engine part of this application, ask #it for access to khan-testimonials-turtle GCP project.

The slack client that listens for reactions to slack messages and updates vote totals (listener.py) runs on toby, using the configuration found here.

NOTE NOTE NOTE: This functionality is broken and has been deleted. NOTE NOTE NOTE: The below is purely information until listener.py is fixed NOTE NOTE NOTE: to use a more modern slack api.

To update that code, follow these steps:

# SSH into toby:
gcloud --project=khan-internal-services compute ssh \
    ubuntu@toby-internal-webserver

# cd to the project directory
cd /home/ubuntu/slack-testimonials-bot

# pull the latest code
git fetch && git checkout origin/master

# restart the service to pull in that latest code
sudo systemctl restart slack-testimonials-bot

To test that this deploy succeeded, upvote a recently high quality testimonial. This should eventually reshare that testimonial to the #khan-academy channel.

== Fixing when it breaks

If something is weird with the App Engine deployment, try going in to cloud storage and wiping the staging bucket in there.
