This project is in its infancy!
- signal-bot provides headless chat/bot/monitoring services for the Signal messenger.
- Services are made available via plugins.
- Writing new plugins to extend functionality is easy and modular since signal-bot smoothly wraps around signal-cli in order to provide a convenient Python framework.
- finish mocker to support "message protocol" testing, i.e. testing whether certain messages are responded to as expected by signalbot; also allow for easy definition of such test cases/conversations
- lay out the core signal-bot message triager and the plugin interface
- setup.py that also deals with python-gi, which is not smoothly installable via pip; for travis one way may be to symlink the dist-packages
- currently we test python 3.6; if we feel the urge we can test more
The idea behind Mocker is to enable for testing and debugging of signal-bot and its plugins.
It offers a dbus service that (partially) mimicks the dbus service of signal-cli (if needed, it should eventually mimick the signal-cli dbus service interface exactly).
from pydbus import SessionBus
from signalclidbusmock import Mocker
from threading import Thread
import time
# start dummy dbus service
mocker = Mocker()
mocker.start()
# a minimalistic signal-bot
def message(t, s, g, m, a):
t = Thread(args=['Hello {}, this is Signalbot :-)'.format(s), None, [s]],
daemon=True,
target=signal.sendMessage)
t.start()
bus = SessionBus()
signal = bus.get('org.signalbot.signalclidbusmock')
signal.onMessageReceived = message
# simulate sending messages to signal-bot
mocker.messageSignalbot('+123', None, 'Hi signal-bot!', [])
mocker.messageSignalbot('+000', None, 'Who are you?', [])
# wait for signal-bot to respond
time.sleep(1)
# the messages we sent to signal-bot
print(mocker.tosignalbot)
# the messages signal-bot sent in response
print(mocker.fromsignalbot)
