errbotio / errbot

Errbot is a chatbot, a daemon that connects to your favorite chat service and bring your tools and some fun into the conversation.

Errbot

Errbot is a chatbot. It allows you to start scripts interactively from your chatrooms for any reason: random humour, chatops, starting a build, monitoring commits, triggering alerts...

It is written and easily extensible in Python.

Errbot is available as open-source software and released under the GPL v3 license.

Features

Chat servers support

Built-in

• IRC support
• Telegram support
• XMPP support

With add-ons

• Slack support (See instructions)
• Discord (See instructions)
• Gitter support (See instructions)
• Webex (See instructions)
• Mattermost (See instructions)

Administration

After the initial installation and security setup, Errbot can be administered by just chatting to the bot (chatops).

• install/uninstall/update/enable/disable private or public plugins hosted on git
• plugins can be configured from chat
• direct the bot to join/leave Multi User Chatrooms (MUC)
• Security: ACL control feature (admin/user rights per command)
• backup: an integrated command !backup creates a full export of persisted data.
• logs: can be inspected from chat or streamed to Sentry.

Developer features

• Very easy to extend in Python! (see below)
• Presetup storage for every plugin i.e. self['foo'] = 'bar' persists the value.
• Conversation flows to track conversation states from users.
• Webhook callbacks support
• supports markdown extras formatting with tables, embedded images, links etc.
• configuration helper to allow your plugin to be configured by chat
• Text development/debug consoles
• Self-documenting: your docstrings become help automatically
• subcommands and various arg parsing options are available (re, command line type)
• polling support: your can setup a plugin to periodically do something
• end to end test backend
• card rendering under Slack

Community and support

If you have:

• a quick question feel free to join us on chat at errbotio/errbot on Gitter.
• a plugin development question please use Stackoverflow with the tags errbot and python.
• a bug to report or a feature request, please use our GitHub project page.

You can also ping us on Twitter with the hashtag #errbot.

Installation

Prerequisites

Errbot runs under Python 3.6+ on Linux, Windows and Mac. For some chatting systems you'll need a key or a login for your bot to access it.

Quickstart

We recommend to setup a virtualenv.

1. Install errbot from pip
2. Make a directory somewhere (here called errbot) to host Errbot's data files
3. Initialize the directory
4. Try out Errbot in text mode

$ pip install errbot
$ mkdir errbot; cd errbot
$ errbot --init
$ errbot

It will show you a prompt >>> so you can talk to your bot directly! Try !help to get started.

Adding support for a chat system

For the built-ins, just use one of those options telegram, IRC, XMPP with pip, you can still do it after the initial installation to add the missing support for example :

$ pip install "errbot[irc]"

For the external ones (Slack, Discord, Gitter, Skype, etc ...), please follow their respective github pages for instructions.

Configuration

In order to configure Errbot to connect to one of those chat systems you'll need to tweak the config.py file generated by errbot --init.

To help you, we have a documented template available here: config-template.py.

Note: even if you changed the BACKEND from the configuration, you can still use errbot -T to test out your instance locally in text mode.

Starting Errbot as a daemon

If all that worked, you can now use the -d (or --daemon) parameter to run it in a detached mode:

errbot --daemon

Interacting with the Bot

After starting Errbot, you should add the bot to your buddy list if you haven't already. You'll need to invite the bot explicitly to chatrooms on some chat systems too. You can now send commands directly to the bot!

To get a list of all available commands, you can issue:

!help

If you just wish to know more about a specific command you can issue:

!help command

Managing plugins

You can administer the bot in a one-on-one chat if your handle is in the BOT_ADMINS list in config.py.

For example to keyword search in the public plugin repos you can issue:

!repos search jira

To install a plugin from this list, issue:

!repos install <name of repo>

For example !repos install errbotio/err-imagebot.

Writing plugins

Writing your own plugins is extremely simple. errbot --init will have installed in the plugins subdirectory a plugin called err-example you can use as a base.

As an example, this is all it takes to create a "Hello, world!" plugin for Errbot:

from errbot import BotPlugin, botcmd

class Hello(BotPlugin):
    """Example 'Hello, world!' plugin for Errbot"""

    @botcmd
    def hello(self, msg, args):
        """Return the phrase "Hello, world!" to you"""
        return "Hello, world!"

This plugin will create the command "!hello" which, when issued, returns "Hello, world!" to you. For more info on everything you can do with plugins, see the plugin development guide.

Contribution to Errbot itself

Feel free to fork and propose changes on github

errbot's Issues

When a plugin is deactivated and reactivated quickly a timer could survive it

setup.py is loading the errbot machinery since the refactoring

it is when it tries to load the version, it loads the module errbot that indirectly try to read config.py !

How to use w/ Google App or GTalk?

Hi,

I am trying to get err working with custom domain (as in Google App) but I am unable to find some good place to start. Can you share minimally how to get started for using GTalk? An example config-template.py would be great if you can help.

Thanks!

!restart doesn't work anymore on Hipchat backend

From @bubba-h57 : I'm also having some problems getting him to run is -H -d options. I end up using nohup in order to get him going.

Proposition : Add subcommand support

like :
@BotCmd
def poll_add(self, mess, args):

Would answer !poll add [args]

Errbot timeout - bot keeps dying

I'm running errbot on EC2 connecting to hipchat. The bot keeps dying multiple times a day. I see the following error message in the ERROR log. Is there a timeout option available in config.py?

I could get around this by using monit or some other process watcher, however the pid doesn't get killed, the bot just disconnects and the pid stays forever.

Err becomes slow after recovering from connections errors

feature request: auto reconnect on kick for irc backend

Err sometimes gets kicked for flooding on our channel, it would be nice if there was an auto reconnect option

callbacks on hipchat history are sent back to plugin upon restart

ERR not Rejoining HIPCHAT Rooms

Occasionally my ERR bot drops out of our teams main HIPCHAT channel and doesn't return. I have to open a private message and restart him in order to get him to come back.

Proposal : Implement history

UP in test mode

!! -> would recall the last command
!history -> display the history
!2 -> would recall the second command from the history

feature request: respond with private msg to !help

this prevents a group chat from being flooded with errs help

Failure to reconnect after long network outage

After a long (estimate a few hours) network outage, my errbot instance failed to reconnect. Looking at the output, it had been attempting to reconnect every 10 minutes for a long time. However, at some point, one of these reconnection attempts began and nothing happened from that point on - possibly it had hung.

I have no further debug info available on this occasion. Wondering if perhaps there's some kind of resource leak in that reconnect/didn't work/wait 10 minutes/try again cycle that caused it to eventually fail.

Identify as bot in initial presence (HipChat)

When connecting to HipChat, you can have the bot identify itself as such by sending a special caps node (XEP-0015). See the wobot implementation here: cjoudrey/wobot#16

Right now the main benefit of this is that the session will display as a bot on hipchat.com/account/sessions, but in the future we may begin allowing special behavior for bots. :)

My bot connects, but doesn't seem to join the chatrooms. If you could point out what I'm doing incorrectly...

Configurable command prefix

I really need to be able to configure the command prefix (currently '!') to something else, as is common with most bots. The most common use case of this is to allow it to coexist with other bots in the same room, by all of them using a different prefix. Another use case, which is driving me, is that I'm talking privately to an instance of err via a touchscreen smartphone, where accessing '!' for every command is slightly painful, but '.' would be much nicer.

Happy to do the work for this and submit a pull request, but to do it right involves trivial but numerous changes, because currently the '!' is hard-coded into every help string, etc. I though I'd see what you think about making that change first, rather than just submitting a "changes every file" request.

Install guide for ubuntu 12.04?

Has anyone gotten 1.6 installed on ubuntu 12.04? A bunch of the dependencies are busted (twisted, pyside, etc). I need to update to 1.6 to bypass a timeout issue, but still not having much luck.

thanks

The bot doesn't handle command name clashes

perhaps the solution would be to prefix them by the pluginname in case of clash

Double Post Response

Connected to Hipchat ( -d -H) with and w/out Async enabled. All command responses are doubled. For example, if I !help, I get two separate and complete help responses back. Cranking the log files down to DEBUG do not seem to provide any clues for why that is.

Error while installing err-gitbot plugin

Hello, I've been experimenting with err bot a little and found this odd error.

After "correct installation" of this plugin:

[00:11:38] <me> !install err-gitbot
[00:11:38] <bot JID> A new plugin repository named err-gitbot has been installed correctly from git://github.com/gbin/err-gitbot.git. Refreshing the plugins commands...
[00:11:38] <bot JID> Plugin reload done.

This is what has been logged. Apparently, plugin does not work.

2012-06-29 00:11:38,039 INFO received command = install matching [install] with parameters [err-gitbot]
2012-06-29 00:11:38,961 WARNING Unable to execute the code in plugin: /tmp/err/plugins/err-gitbot/gitBot
2012-06-29 00:11:38,961 INFO Activating all the plugins...

However, err-gitbot repository has been cloned correctly. Also, with err-gitbot in plugins folder, this is what happened after restarting the bot (first two lines of the log):

2012-06-29 00:02:35,068 WARNING Unable to execute the code in plugin: /tmp/err/plugins/err-gitbot/gitBot
2012-06-29 00:02:35,069 INFO Start Connection ...........

I tried to trace this warning. However, I wasn't able to find where is this warning logged and what caused this error.
I tried to install err-stalkerbot and err-calcbot and no such errors occured in those cases.

Env:
Python 2.7.3, dependencies installed by pip into separated virtualenv, OS X 10.6.8

The same error is occuring on up-to-date (28. 6. 2012) Arch Linux, python 2.7.3

The bot sends unicode from XMPP but str from console

It can give you some nasty surprises after testing your plugin

Abstract the connectors backend

Right now the way we for example switch to test or graphical mode is plain hideous.

We should make a clear backend API so we can also implement bridges to other services like Campfire, IRC etc...

Plugins directory permissions are unsafe

On first start err creates "plugins" directory in /var/lib with 0777 rights. I think this is unsafe and should be changed at least to 0755.

Checked in Gentoo, err-1.2.1. Ebuild in my overlay(branch err) fix(actually, just workaround) this issue by creating directory itself before err's first run. But i think that it should be fixed in upstream by setting proper umask in err itself.

Proposal : autocomplete in test mode

as you test you often retype the same things, it would help also
!re[TAB] -> !repos

handle a retry in case of connectivity issue (reconnect)

remove TEST_ROOM from the template

it forces people to have this parameter :)
or perhaps make an ignore mark like _TEST_ROOM

Proposal: Make an html test console

Make an html debug console so the test mode mimic better xmpp with html

Recheck requirements.txt on update

When updating a plugin, the requirements should be verified again.

!install should check for git

I think that !install should checks for existance of git binary in case of installing plugins from git repos. Now if git does not installed installing plugin from git repo triggers only "No such file or directory" message. It can be hard for user to understand which file he does not have :-)

Limit the response size to avoid beeing banned from xmpp servers

if a command spills to much hipchat for example disconnect the user
it could be prevented at the framework level
