3.5.2. RE-WORKER-IRCNOTIFY¶

Release Engine Worker Plugin can send notifications to IRC.

Note

This is a notification worker can handle both notification and step message formats. When receiving step message format it will ignore all items with the exception of the slug, message, phase and target within the parameters key.

This worker takes two configuration files. The first is the IRCNOTIFY configuration file. It should look like this:

{
  "server": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": 6697,
  "ssl": true,
  "channels": ["#release-engine"],
  "nick": "renotify"
}

Set the IRCNOTIFY parameters to match your IRC server configuration.

The second configuration file is the normal MQ configuration:

{
  "server": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": 5672,
  "vhost": "/",
  "user": "guest",
  "password": "guest"
}

Set the MQ config file parameters to sane values (see also: Setting Up The Bus)
Run the worker: re-worker-ircnotify -w $YOUR_CONFIG_FILE.json $YOUR_MQ_CONF.json

We should see output similar to the following if everything well:

[user@frober re-worker-ircnotify]$ re-worker-ircnotify -w $YOUR_CONFIG_FILE.json $YOUR_MQ_CONF.json
