A lightweight Airbrake to Sprint.ly WebHook bridge implemented with Sinatra.

airsprint-sinatra publishes exceptions received by Airbrake to Sprint.ly. When Airbrake receives exceptions from your application, the WebHook defined on Airbrake is triggered and calls airsprint, which then creates a defect on Sprint.ly using the Sprint.ly REST API.

Airbrake is an exception detection and reporting service that can be used with many languages and platforms. I personally use it with Rails by using their airbrake gem.

Sprint.ly is an agile sprint tracking feature planning tool that also offers the ability to track tests and defects (bugs). It is a relatively new but popular alternative to Pivotal Tracker with the advantages of a clean, attractive interface and a simpler workflow.

This lightweight application is functional and will receive error notifications from Airbrake for multiple applications (you will create a separate WebHook for each application). Additionally, airsprint is relatively secure because it supports a password that must be defined in the app config so it can not be called by arbitrary unauthorized users (still need https support to make this more secure).

Consider this application a base for your own Airbrake to Sprint.ly (or other target endpoints). I do intend to improve this over time, as well as integrate user contributions.

1. Check out the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/kevinelliott/airsprint-sinatra.git

2. Change into the cloned directory.

   cd airsprint-sinatra

3. Copy the sample.config.yml to config.yml.

   cp sample.config.yml config.yml

4. Edit the new config.yml. Set a password for the Airbrake WebHooks, as well as your Sprint.ly credentials.

1. Set the Heroku production environment variables

   heroku config:set AIRSPRINT_PASSWORD=1234567890
   heroku config:set SPRINTLY_EMAIL=user@example.com
   heroku config:set SPRINTLY_API_KEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
   heroku config:set SPRINTLY_DEFAULT_PRODUCT_ID=12345
   

   Sprint.ly product_id's can be passed in each Airbrake WebHook, but it will fall back to the SPRINTLY_DEFAULT_PRODUCT_ID if none is provided.

2. Create the heroku app to correspond with my_app (whatever your app name is). This name can be anything you want.

   heroku create my-app-airsprint

3. Deploy airsprint to heroku.

   git push heroku master

1. On your project page on Airbrake, click on the Add Integration button.

2. Choose Webhook.

3. Enter the URL to your airsprint installation along with the correct integration endpoint, specifying the password you set above for AIRSPRINT_PASSWORD as an argument on the URL.

   http://my-app-airsprint.herokuapp.com/integrations/airbrake?password=1234567890

   Optionally, you may specify the Sprint.ly project_id that this particular Airbrake project corresponds with. This allows you to have multiple Airbrake projects create defects on multiple Sprint.ly projects that your email/api_key has access to.

   http://my-app-airsprint.herokuapp.com/integrations/airbrake?password=1234567890&project_id=12345

Now anytime your Airbrake project receives exceptions from your actual application, you will receive requests to airsprint, which will then forward to Sprint.ly and create a defect.

Whenever I can muscle up the free time, I intend to expand this to support other destination endpoints that Airbrake doesn't support, and perhaps even some inbound services besides Airbrake (such as Sentry, etc).

More importantly, I'd like to make the Sprint.ly item creation more configurable, perhaps via templating.
