After that, edit the external-scripts.json
file in your bot directory and
make sure it contains hubot-stackstorm

After that's done, you are ready to start your bot.

Note: ST2_ROUTE
environment variable mentioned below should only be
specified if you modified the rule which comes with a hubot
pack to use a
non default value of hubot
for the trigger.route
criteria.
ST2_ROUTE
- StackStorm notification channel where all the notification messages should be sent to. This is the reference to the channel construct internal to StackStorm's notification system. Make sure this value is set to whatever is assigned the rule that defines a StackStrom channel. e.g.hubot
is a value that works well with thehubot
pack found at https://github.com/StackStorm/st2contrib/tree/master/packs/hubot.
Running the bot
To run the bot, go to your bot directory and run the following command:
ST2_AUTH_USERNAME=testu ST2_AUTH_PASSWORD=testp HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=token ST2_ROUTE=mychannel PORT=8181 bin/hubot --name "st2-bot" -a slack --alias !
Keep in mind that you need to replace values of the environment variables so they reflect configuration of your environment.
