Shell adapter

The shell adapter provides a simple read-eval-print loop for interacting with a hubot locally. It can be useful for testing scripts before using them on a live hubot.

Getting Started

To use the Shell adapter you can simply omit the -a option when running hubot as it will use the Shell adapter by default.

% bin/hubot

Configuring

This adapter doesn’t require any configuration.

It supports two environment variables to make it possible to test scripts as different users:

  • HUBOT_SHELL_USER_ID: default is 1
  • HUBOT_SHELL_USER_NAME: default is Shell
