NAME
App::TimeTracker::Command::TellRemote - App::TimeTracker plugin for telling generic remotes
VERSION
version 3.001
DESCRIPTION
We use an internal IRC channel for internal communication. And we all want (need) to know what other team members are currently doing. This plugin helps us making sharing this information easy. Update: We moved to a matrix chat, and this plugin still works..
After running some commands, this plugin prepares a short message and sends it (together with an authentification token) to a small webserver-cum-irc-bot (Bot::FromHTTP, not yet on CPAN, but basically just a slightly customized/enhanced pastebin).
In fact, you can post the message to any Webhook, eg Net::Matrix::Webhook
The messages is transfered as a GET-Request like this:
http://yourserver/?message=some message&token=a58875d576e8c09a...CONFIGURATION
plugins
add TellRemote to your list of plugins
tell_remote
add a hash named tell_remote, containing the following keys:
url
The URL where the webhook is running. Might also contain a special port number (http://ircbox.vpn.yourcompany.com:9090)
secret
An optional shared secret used to calculate the authentification token. The token is calculated like this:
my $token = Digest::SHA::sha1_hex($message, $secret);If no secret is used, no token added to the request to the webhook
NEW COMMANDS
none
CHANGES TO OTHER COMMANDS
start, stop, continue
After running the respective command, a message is sent to the remote that could for example post the message to IRC.
New Options
--tell_remote
Defaults to true, but you can use:
~/perl/Your-Secret-Project$ tracker start --no_tell_remoteto not send a message
