This commit adds a generic function called check_send_webhook_message
that does the following:
* If a stream is specified in the webhook URL, it sends a stream
message, otherwise sends a PM to the owner of the bot.
* In the case of a stream message, if a custom topic is specified
in the webhook URL, it uses that topic as the subject of the
stream message.
Also, note that we need not test this anywhere except for the
helloworld webhook. Since helloworld is our default example for
webhooks, it is here to stay and it made sense that tests for a
generic function such as check_send_webhook_message be tested
with an actual generic webhook!
Fixes#8607.
Originally was going to centralize this in zerver/lib/request.pyi, but this
file is not visible at run-time, being only a stub. The matching request.py
file seemed inappropriate, as it doesn't actually use ViewFuncT.
Note that the "Save" button has no text in the Taiga webhook
setup UI. There is a small floppy disk symbol for saving which
is visible right beside the form fields. So I simply said,
"Save the form".
Rewritten in significant part by tabbott to actually be correct.
One particularly nasty thing the original webhook integration did is
do `current_time = time.time()` at the top of the `view.py` function
-- that means that code ran at import time, not runtime.
There's probably follow-up work to do here to eliminate these
completely, but this dramatically shrinks the ~1 minute race window
that was previously present between import and test function being
called.
This commit:
* Restructures the doc to use a numbered-step format.
Note that there are no screenshots. I signed up for a
Fabric/Crashlyics account but you have to link an Android/iOS app
to even get to the settings panel, which seemed like too much work
just to get a screenshot.
However, the way we can verify (somewhat) the correctness of the
last step is that it is a paraphrase of the first paragraph of
Fabric's Webhook docs, which can be found here:
https://docs.fabric.io/apple/crashlytics/custom-web-hooks.html
This commit modifies the text to:
1. Removes unnecessary screenshots.
2. Use the numbered-style format.
3. I also removed the instructions for generating an access token.
I took a look at Dropbox's docs and you shouldn't need that
for a webhook setup. The whole point behind a webhook is that
one can get by without using OAuth.
4. Rearranges the instructions to only contain 4 steps. For
uncomplicated instructions, that seems to be the ideal number.
GitLab recently changed their event name for build notifications
from "Build Hook" to "Job Hook". Instead of just supporting the
latter, we should support both just in case people are running
older versions of GitLab.
At some point, GitLab decided to change the name of the event for
CI notifications from "Build Hook" to "Job Hook" and we started
running into errors in webhook-logger.log.
This commit:
* Removes the unnecessary screenshot. The UI is intuitive enough
and standalone instructions should suffice.
* Rearranges the instructions into 4 steps.
* Makes the wording more explicit.
This commit:
* Removes the unnecessary screenshot. The user should be able to
easily see the fields in question in this case.
* Wraps the text at 80 chars.
* Combines the instructions into 4 steps.
The docs for this can easily be combined into 4 steps. For
uncomplicated setups, 4 seems to be like a good number.
Again, I have no way of verifying the correctness of the instructions
here because Airbrake doesn't let you do anything till you specify
your credit card information, which I didn't want to.
This commit modifies the text to:
* Use number 1 for all steps and let Markdown take care of the rest.
* Removes the line that says this webhook is "experimental". It isn't
anymore.
This commit modifies the doc.md to:
* Use consistent language and style.
* Use the number 1 for all numbered steps and let Markdown take
care of the rest.
* Have detailed steps on how to get to the Integrations settings
instead of just linking to the page.
* Remove unnecessary screenshots.
This commit:
* Adds a missing step to the documentation.
* Replaces wording such as "Go to X" with "Click on X".
* Removes the unnecessary screenshots.
* Rearranges the doc to contain only 4 steps. For uncomplicated
setups, 4 seems to be the right number.
This commit:
* Removes the unnecessary screenshot.
* Reorders the instructions and combines them in to 4 steps.
* Improves the contents of the webhook-url-with-bot-email-indented.md
macro and makes it more consistent with create-bot-construct-url.md.
* Sets the recommended stream name to "commits", since that's what
the webhook function for Beanstalk expects in
zerver/webhooks/beanstalk/view.py. This allows us to use the
create-stream.md macro.
* Remove unnecessary screenshot. It doesn't help very much in this
case.
* Update text to instruct users to not leave the `Title` field
empty (it cannot be blank).
* Replace wording such as `Go to Settings` with `Click on Settings`.
* Combine the "fill out the form" and "click 'Save'" steps.
* Replace "Choose X on the left-hand side" with "Choose X".
* Replace "Remember to check the X" with "Check the X".
With minor fixes by eeshangarg!
Eeshan: I decided to remove the screenshot. It looks very old and
was blurry and the instructions were very screenshot-agnostic
anyway!
I couldn't update the screenshot because Airbrake doesn't even let
you use the free trial till you give them your credit card info,
which I didn't want to do!
