Slack Integration Plugin

A simple Gerrit plugin that allows the publishing of certain Gerrit events to a configured Slack Webhook URL. The plugin uses Gerrit's inherited project configuration support so common config options can be set at a higher level and shared by many projects along with project specific config options.

Development

To build the plugin, JDK 1.8, Maven 3.0.x and Ant 1.9.x are required. Once installed use mvn to build.

cd ./slack-integration
mvn install

This command will compile/test and package the resulting artifact.

cd ./slack-integration
mvn package

Once packaged, you can install the ./target/slack-integration.jar file into Gerrit.

Installation

Installing the Slack Integration Plugin is as simple as copying the resulting JAR file into the Gerrit plugins directory. Assuming you installation of Gerrit is located at /usr/local/gerrit you simply execute the following.

cp ./slack-integration.jar /usr/local/gerrit/plugins

Simple substitute the path to your Gerrit plugins directory as needed. Gerrit automatically loads new plugins and unloads old plugins, no restart is required.

Configuration

The first thing you need to do is setup an incoming webhook integration in Slack. This is done via my.slack.com - Configure Integrations.

Configuration of the Slack Integration Plugin is done in Gerrit via a project specific config file. This configuration is stored in the project’s project.config file on the refs/meta/config branch of the project.

Common configuration options that can be shared between multiple projects can be placed in the All-Projects config branch, or another project that serves as an inherited base. Config options can then be overridden in the actual project's config branch. For example, you may want to specify a default webhook URL, username and channel then override the channel to be specific to each project.

Editing a project's config

mkdir <project>-config
cd <project>-config
git init
git remote add origin ssh://<admin-user>@<gerrit-host>:29418/<project>
git fetch origin refs/meta/config:refs/remotes/origin/meta/config
git checkout meta/config

Create the following config block

vi project.config

[plugin "slack-integration"]
    enabled = true
    webhookurl = https://<web-hook-url>
    channel = general
    username = gerrit
    ignore = "^WIP.*"

Commit and push changes

git commit -a
git push origin meta/config:meta/config

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available

enabled – boolean (true/false)
    When true, enables Slack integration (defaults to false).
webhookurl - String
    The Slack webhook URL to publish to (defaults to an
    empty string).
channel - String
    The Slack channel to publish to (defaults to "general").
username - String
    The Slack username to publish as (defaults to "gerrit").
ignore - Pattern
    A "dotall" enabled regular expression pattern that, when matches
    against a commit message, will prevent the publishing of patchset
    created event messages (defaults to an empty string).
