GemsuranceSlack

Rake task to run Gemsurance and send gems alerts/warnings to Slack

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gemsurance_slack'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gemsurance_slack

Don't forget to set Slack settings environment variables into your project

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."
SLACK_CHANNEL="#mychannel"
SLACK_APP_NAME="My application name"

You can manually run rake gemsurance_slack:check in your project.

If everything is well setup, you should receive Gemsurance warnings/alerts in your Slack channel.

To be daily inform about your project gems status running on Heroku,

1. set Slack config variables

heroku config:set SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."
heroku config:set SLACK_CHANNEL="#mychannel"
heroku config:set SLACK_APP_NAME="My application name"

2. add the Heroku scheduler addon and open it

heroku addons:add scheduler:standard
heroku addons:open scheduler

3. add a job, set the task with rake gemsurance_slack:check, select the frequency and save.

every(1.day, 'Check gems status', :at => '00:30') { GemsuranceSlack.check_and_notify }
