Configuration

Some of the behavior of this plugin is configured in the environment:

HUBOT_PLUSPLUS_KEYWORD - the keyword that will make hubot give the score for a name and the reasons. For example you can set this to "score|karma" so hubot will answer to both keywords. If not provided will default to score

HUBOT_PLUSPLUS_REASONS - the text used for the word "reasons" when hubot lists the top-N report, default reasons.

HUBOT_PLUSPLUS_REASON_CONJUNCTIONS - a pipe separated list of conjunctions be used when specifying reasons. The default value is for|because|cause|cuz|as|porque. E.g. "foo++ for being awesome" or "foo++ cuz they are awesome".

MONGODB_URI | MONGO_URI | MONGODB_URL | MONGOLAB_URI | MONGOHQ_URL - the uri of the mongo instance that hubot will use to store data. (default: 'mongodb://localhost/plusPlus').

HUBOT_SPAM_MESSAGE - the text that will be used if a user hits the spam filter. (default: Looks like you hit the spam filter. Please slow your role.).

HUBOT_COMPANY_NAME - the name of the company that is using hubot (default: Company Name).

HUBOT_PEER_FEEDBACK_URL - this is the message that will be used if a user gives HUBOT_FURTHER_FEEDBACK_SCORE points to another user (default: 'Lattice' (https://${companyName}.latticehq.com/)).

HUBOT_FURTHER_FEEDBACK_SCORE - the score that would add a suggestion to provide the user with more feedback (default: 10).

Required There needs to be an index on the scoreLogs table for a TTL or the user will only be able to send one ++|-- before they will be spam blocked. db.scoreLog.createIndex( { "date": 1 }, { expireAfterSeconds: 5 } )

Individual run: npm run test

Tdd: npm run test:watch

You can use npm run test -- --testPathPattern=helpers.test.js to test a specific file or any other cli options that jest has available

Known issue

As of now there is an issue that has shown up a couple times without a root cause. The $setOnInsert excludes the reasons: {} object. The fix, currently, is to identify the bad document in mongo db.scores.find({ "reasons: null"}); and update them db.scores.updateMany({ "reasons: null"}, { $set: { "reasons": {} });
