IssueBot

Your personal assistant for automatically organizing and replying to Issues.

Why IssueBot?

• Does this look familiar?
  
• Are you maintaining a project with many issues and finding it difficult to stay organized?
• Seeing double, or more, because your users will submit duplicate issues without searching first?
• Wish you had someone else to help manage your Issues with you?

If you find yourself saying Yes, then IssueBot is made for you!

Installation

Note: Installation process needs a little love. Below are details for how I get it running on my machine.

Config

node-config handles configuration. Create a local configuration file, that will be ignored by Git:

cp config/default.js config/local.js

GitHub App

Go to https://github.com/settings/developers and Register a new application. Replace github.client_id (CLIENT_ID) and github.client_secret (CLIENT_SECRET) in config/local.js.

Optional: If you want to run node scripts/get-issues.js you should create a Personal access token at https://github.com/settings/tokens and replace github.token (TOKEN) in config/local.js.

Database

1. Install PostgreSQL

# Create a database
initdb /usr/local/var/postgres9.5 -E utf8
# Start Postgres with specific database directory
postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres9.5

2. Create database with createdb issuemanager
3. Create database user with:

$ psql issuemanager
issuemanager=# create user issuemanager password 'CHANGE_ME_PASSWORD';

4. Edit your configuration in config/local.js under key db.
5. Test database with node scripts/test-db.js

Tunnels to Localhost

Install ngrok and run the following:

ngrok http -subdomain=issue-manager-web 8080
ngrok http -subdomain=issue-manager 8081

Edit config/local.js to have the following corresponding configuration:

"server": {
  "base_url": "http://issue-manager.ngrok.io",
  "port": 8081
},
"app": {
  "base_url": "http://issue-manager-web.ngrok.io"
},

Python

Install Python and pip the run the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Node.js

Install dependencies with npm install.

Start Webpack development server with npm run start:webpack.

Finally, start the server with npm run start:server.

Note: npm start is equivalent to running both npm run start:webpack and npm run start:server in parallel.
