Hubot: installing a hubot script

I installed Hubot with the hipchat adapter. I also installed an external script hubot-jenkins-enhanced using npm. However, Hubot is not responding to jenkins commands which should listen in this script.

Do I have to manually copy node_modules/hubot-jenkins-enhanced/index.coffee to hubot/scripts? I can't find any information on how to install a plugin anywhere. I thought that npm install would suffice but apparently it does not.

Solution

  • I had to include to the hubot-jenkins script in external-scripts.json as described by the documentation:

    To use a script from an NPM package:

    1. Run npm install --save <package-name> to add the package as a dependency and install it.
    2. Add the package to external-scripts.json.

    Hubot now responds to the jenkins commands.
