I have this code that notifies a slack channel after a build has completed. In certain cases, whenever the build fails, I want to add a notification to myself so I can quickly turn issues around. How can I update this to include a notification to someone using the @ symbol?
Some examples I see online use the SlackMessage constructor to add a userName, but for some reason I can not overload this constructor.
public static void PostToSlack()
{
string url= "...";
string slackUrl = GlobalData.slackUrl;
string buildName = TestContext.Parameters["BuildName"];
string buildID = TestContext.Parameters["BuildID"];
string testName = TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name;
string outcome = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Outcome.ToString();
//If tests failed but the suite actually completed, set more understandable outcome message
if (outcome == "Failed(Child)")
{
outcome = "Completed with Issues";
}
//Build the text string to post to slack
string postText = "Build Completed";
SlackMessage message = new SlackMessage
{
text = postText
};
//Convert serializable object to JSON
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(message, Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented);
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(slackUrl);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
//Send to Slack
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
//Error checking if Slack sends back a 404 or 400
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
