Slouch is a lightweight Python framework for building cli-inspired Slack bots.
Here's an example bot built with Slouch:
from slouch import Bot, help
class PingBot(Bot):
pass
@PingBot.command
def pingme(opts, bot, event):
"""Usage: pingme [--message=<message>]
Respond with an at-mention to the sender.
Pass _message_ to include a message in the response.
"""
sender_slack_id = event['user']
message = opts['<message>']
response = ""
if message is not None:
response = message
return "<@%s> %s" % (sender_slack_id, response)And here's a test for that bot:
from slouch import testing
class TestPingBot(CommandTestCase):
bot_class = PingBot
def test_ping(self):
response = self.send_message('pingme', user='123')
self.assertEqual(response, '<@123> ')Install with pip install slouch.
Run tests with py.test tests.
