I’ve decided to upgrade the hubot-command-mapper and the bot-zero projects to ESM, just like Hubot 11. This blog will focus on how to upgrade the unit tests. In that sense it is a short rewrite of Hubot testing revisited.

At Wehkamp, we use the Hubot Grafana project to make our Grafana dashboard available in Slack. It mainly helps our standby team to make quick assessments on what’s going on with our website. Last year, we saw we could not upgrade the package from 2.5.2 to 3.0.1, because slugs could not be used anymore. But we use slugs and… quite heavily!

Lately we’ve been playing around with ChatOps at Wehkamp. We added a Hubot to our Slack channels to automate some operational jobs. It makes work more fun and way easier. As it is hosted in our own infrastructure, it can interact with our micro-services. In this article I explore how to use ES6 and a Promise to implement a call to a simple web-service.
