Zendesk Apps Tools is in maintenance mode. This means no additional feature enhancements or non-security bugs will be fixed. We recommend switching to using ZCLI for our best CLI experience.

Zendesk Apps Tools (ZAT) are a collection of local development tools that simplify building and deploying Zendesk apps.

This repo is owned and maintained by the Zendesk Apps team. You can reach us on vegemite@zendesk.com. We are located in Melbourne.

ZAT is a Ruby gem. You don't need to know Ruby to use the tools but you do need to install Ruby to install the gem.

To install, run gem install zendesk_apps_tools.

To get the latest version, run gem update zendesk_apps_tools.

For information on using the tools, see Zendesk App Tools on developer.zendesk.com.

If you want to help develop this tool, clone this repo and run bundle install.

If you receive this error: Installing nokogiri 1.10.10 with native extensions Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. Then run gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries followed by run bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries and try running bundle install again.

ZAT uses a gem called ZAS. If you're developing ZAT, you'll probably want to edit code in ZAS too. To do so, you need to clone the ZAS repo and add the following line at the end of Gemfile in the ZAT project:

gem 'zendesk_apps_support', path: '../zendesk_apps_support'

Then, comment-out the line referring to zendesk_apps_support in this project's .gemspec file.

# s.add_runtime_dependency 'zendesk_apps_support', '~> X.YY.ZZ'

The path should point to your local ZAS directory. In this way, your clone of ZAT will use a local version of ZAS, which is very helpful for development. Run a bundle install after changing the Gemfile.

• To bump ZAT version, run bump patch|minor|major --no-bundle from the root directory. Note: --no-bundle is required in order to prevent bundle update command from running, which is by default triggered by the bump gem and could lead to incompatible dependencies.
• To publish ZAT to Rubygems, run bundle exec rake release.

This project uses rspec, which you can run with bundle exec rake.

Improvements are always welcome. To contribute:

• Put up a PR into the master branch.
