A small Elixir / escript package for updating your status on Slack.
-
First, copy
config/config.example.exstoconfig/config.exs. This is where you'll store your Slack token without risk of accidentally committing it. -
Add your Slack token to
config/config.exs. It should have the formxoxp-.... -
For now, install by running
mix escript.build
This should create a binary status which can be run to execute a "Testing" status update.
- Optionally, create a symbolic link to the binary in
/usr/local/binor another directory in your$PATH.
Note that the status script will use whichever version of Erlang is set from the place where
you call it. So if you've changed directory into a project that uses the ASDF version manager to
set a different major version of the Erlang runtime, you might find that calling status there
doesn't work as expected.
You can create customized preset statuses in lib/status_updater.ex by modifying the case
statement in the main/1 function.
