Provides an SBT task to send a message when you run the slackNotify task. You may for example want to notify slack as part of a build pipeline, right from sbt. In the example below, we send a notification which states the version pushed.

You'll need a Slack hook URL.

For now, you have to clone the project, then run sbt publish-local to install the dependency to your local ivy repository where it can get picked up.

Add the plugin to your project/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("ly.jamie" % "sbt-slack-notify" % "0.3.1")

resolvers ++= Seq(
  Resolver.sonatypeRepo("releases")
  )

Then add these settings to your build.sbt file:

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).
  settings(
    version := "0.1",
    slackMessage := {
        s"Just pushed version ${version.value}"
    },
    slackRoom := "#someroom",
    slackHookUrl := "http://slackhookurl" // or something like System.getenv("SBTSLACKNOTIFY_SLACKHOOKURL")
  )

Use the slackNotify task to send the message to the specified room. The room has to be public or the Slack Hook must've been created specifically for that room.
