This is a little Sinatra app notifies Hipchat of any changes in the build status on your CruiseControl.rb install.

Heroku-ready! Just follow these steps:

1. Grab a copy of the source

    git clone [email protected]:andrewpbrett/cruisecontrolrb_to_hipchat.git
   

2. Create a Heroku app

    heroku create myapp
   

3. Required configuration

    		heroku config:add HIPCHAT_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
    		heroku config:add HIPCHAT_ROOM_ID=your_room_id
    		heroku config:add CC_URL=your_cruise_control_url
   

4. Optional configuration:

    		Basic auth for your CruiseControlrb install (recommended):
    		
    		heroku config:add CC_USERNAME=your_username
    		heroku config:add CC_PASSWORD=your_password
    		
    		heroku config:add POLLING_INTERVAL							 # polling interval in minutes. defaults to 1 minute.
    		heroku config:add HIPCHAT_FROM=cruise-control    # who the messages are "from" in hipchat. defaults to 'cruise-control'		
   

5. Deploy to Heroku

    git push heroku master
   

6. Set up something to ping your app regularly in order to prevent it from idling. The New Relic add-on seems to do the trick, but so does a cron job, pingdom, etc., etc., etc. ...

7. Have a beer while you wait for your first notification in Hipchat.
