2019.04.08 - New way of uploading bot extension

Bot extension uploading has changed:

  • we are migrating to Amazon WebServices and all bot extensions will be uploaded to Amazon S3 soon

  • we’ve created a dedicated Smarty Bot Extension gradle plugin that will help with bot extension uploading

Bot extension project migration guide

  1. Make sure you are using IntelliJ IDEA IDE for your bot extension project.

  2. Open main build.gralde file and remove the following dependencies:

    dependencies {
    classpath 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.5'
    classpath 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.5.2'
    classpath 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.9'
}

  3. Open bot-extension/build.gradle file and remove the following tasks and functions definitions

    task deployDevelopmentBotExtension(dependsOn: build) { ... }
task deployProductionBotExtension(dependsOn: build) { ... }
def uploadExtension(String uri, String userName, String password) { ... }
def uploadFile(String uri, String userName, String password, String uriPath, File file) { ... }

    and all the surrounding now unneeded import statements.

  4. Add smarty plugin repository declaration at the top of settings.gradle file:

    pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://smarty.lite-games.com/repository/public' }
    }
}

  5. Declare smarty-bot-extension plugin in build.gradle

    plugins {
    id 'com.litegames.smarty-bot-extension' version '0.0.1'
}

  6. Configure smarty bot extension deployment like below:

    smartyBotExtension {
    deploy {
        files {
            extension {
                src jar.archivePath
                dst "<<ProjectName>>BotExtension.jar"
            }
        }

        target(com.litegames.smarty.bot.extension.config.api.deploy.AwsTarget) {
            uri "s3://smarty-bots-repository/<<ProjectShortName>>"
            accessKey project.properties["<<ProjectShortName>>.botserver.accesskey"]
            secretKey project.properties["<<ProjectShortName>>.botserver.secretkey"]
        }
    }
}

  7. Put deploy target credentials in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:

    <<ProjectShortName>>.botserver.accesskey=ACCESSKEY
<<ProjectShortName>>.botserver.secretkey=SECRETKEY

  8. Contact us to receive deployment uri, accessKey and secretKey
