alerter

Send Twilio SMS messages or post chats to Slack from the command line.

There are two methods available for sending alerts. Either with Twilio or with Slack. In either case, there is some setup work on both of those services that need to be done.

• Twilio - You will need a valid Twilio account and phone number. Creaate a Twilio app to obtain an Auth Token, Account SID and Twilio phone number

• Slack - You will need to create a Slack token which also involves, creating a Slack Web API app and setting scopes to obtain the token.

  Scopes

  • Conversations
    • Access user’s public channels (channels:history)
    • Access information about user’s public channels (channels:read)
    • Send messages as sfdxplugin (chat:write:bot)
  • Emojis
    • Access the workspace’s emoji (emoji:read)
  • Files
    • Upload and modify files as user (files:write:user)
  • *Unfurls
    • Add link previews to messages (links:write)

Note tokens are stored in a hidden '.XXXXconfig' file on the users local computer and are not encrypted. The config commmands should be run interactively once or, in the case of CI, be stored securely in environment variables to support CI.

There is also a sample set of bash scripts that represent a possible way to use this plugin to receive notifications during the process of creating and populating a Scratch Org and handling the result of running Apex tests in the Scratch Org.

Debugging your plugin

We recommend using the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE for your plugin development. Included in the .vscode directory of this plugin is a launch.json config file, which allows you to attach a debugger to the node process when running your commands.

To debug the hello:org command:

1. Start the inspector

If you linked your plugin to the sfdx cli, call your command with the dev-suspend switch:

$ sfdx hello:org -u [email protected] --dev-suspend

Alternatively, to call your command using the bin/run script, set the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to --inspect-brk when starting the debugger:

$ NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect-brk bin/run hello:org -u [email protected]

2. Set some breakpoints in your command code
3. Click on the Debug icon in the Activity Bar on the side of VS Code to open up the Debug view.
4. In the upper left hand corner of VS Code, verify that the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration has been chosen.
5. Hit the green play button to the left of the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration window. The debugger should now be suspended on the first line of the program.
6. Hit the green play button at the top middle of VS Code (this play button will be to the right of the play button that you clicked in step #5).
   
   Congrats, you are debugging!
