IRC Notification Resource for Concourse

Sends messages to an IRC channel from a Concourse CI pipeline.

Resource configuration

These parameters go into the source fields of the resource type.

Required

• server: The IRC server fully qualified domain name.
• port: The TCP port on which to connect.
• channel: The name of the channel to be notified (should include leading #, e.g., #go-nuts).
• user: The username used for authentication.
• password: The password used for authentication.

Optional

• usetls: [default: true] Use TLS (a.k.a. SSL) to encrypt your connection to the IRC server.
• join: [default: false] Join the channel before sending the message (and leave afterwards). This is necessary if the channel mode includes +n.
• debug: [default: false] Emit debugging messages on stderr. ⚠__WARNING__⚠: Setting this to true will log the password to stderr, so USE WITH CAUTION.

Behaviour

check, in

This resource only supports the put phase of a job plan, so these are no-ops.

out

Connects to the IRC server, authenticates, and sends the given message to the named channel via a PRIVMSG command.

Parameters

Exactly one of the following parameters must be present:

• message: The text of the notification to be sent.
• message_file: The path to a file containing the text of the notification to be sent.

Any Concourse metadata in the message string or in the text contents of message_file will be evaluated prior to sending the message. If the notification text contains newlines then it will be split into multiple IRC message sends.

Note also that the pseudo-metadata BUILD_URL will expand to:

${ATC_EXTERNAL_URL}/teams/${BUILD_TEAM_NAME}/pipelines/${BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME}/jobs/${BUILD_JOB_NAME}/builds/${BUILD_NAME}
