Parabol Mattermost Plugin

WIP

This plugin is still work in progress and not yet ready for production use.

Requirements

• Mattermost version 10.1 or later
• Parabol version 8.4.0 or later
• SiteURL If the SiteURL is not set correctly, some functions like notifications will not work.
• SSO identity provider for both Mattermost and Parabol

Development

• Create a .env file in the root of the project:

  cp .env.example .env

• Start up a Mattermost development server

  make start-server

  go to http://localhost:8065 and do the initial setup. Create a personal access token and set the environment variable MM_ADMIN_TOKEN to the token value.
• Run

  make watch
  

  to start the plugin in development mode. This will watch for webapp changes and automatically rebuild the plugin.
• Configure the plugin in mattermost, go to System Console -> Plugins -> Parabol and enter
  • Parabol URL: http://host.docker.internal:3001
  • Parabol API Token: get this from MATTERMOST_SECRET environment of your Parabol instance

Releasing new versions

The version of a plugin is determined at compile time, automatically populating a version field in the plugin manifest:

• If the current commit matches a tag, the version will match after stripping any leading v, e.g. 1.3.1.
• Otherwise, the version will combine the nearest tag with git rev-parse --short HEAD, e.g. 1.3.1+d06e53e1.
• If there is no version tag, an empty version will be combined with the short hash, e.g. 0.0.0+76081421.

To disable this behaviour, manually populate and maintain the version field.
