I previously talked about “Running Github Hubot on a Windows machine”, “Using Github hubot and Appharbor service hook to get deployment status in Campfire/HipChat rooms” or even “Starting TeamCity builds from HipChat using Github Hubot”.
All those solution rely on an external chat service either Altassian HipChat or 37signals Campfire.
Appharbor provides a service hook which let’s you get informed when a build is finished sending both succeeded and failed builds.
We wanted to use this to get informed in our Campfire / HipChat room so that our distributed team can be informed about builds status without having to go to AppHarbor web site.
I finally managed to get Github Hubot running on my Windows 7 64 bits machine. Thanks to Sean Copenhaver & Thomas Kahlow which pointed me to the correct direction on the ‘Run hubot on windows’ discussion.
So here is how I did it.
