Description

Select some code you want to discuss in Hipchat


Sometimes, you want to discuss a piece of code in a more interactive manner than with pull request comments. With this add-on, you can do this in Hipchat. Just select some code in a pull request and press the button.



Automatically suggested code review peers


Based on who has changed the selected code lines recently, the add-on suggests your code review peers (aka "Git blame"). Just enter the reason why you want to discuss this code snippet and press "Discuss".



Code review in a dedicated Hipchat room


The add-on creates a dedicated Hipchat room for your pull request discussions. The selected code snippet is sent to this room. Once the pull request is merged, the room can get deleted automatically.



More details


Sometimes you want to discuss code in a more interactive manner than with pull request comments. This add-on offers an automated way to discuss selected code snippets in Hipchat. It is able to create a dedicated Hipchat room for discussing code in a pull request and - if this is enabled in the hook settings - to also delete the room after a pull request is merged. It is also able to suggest the code review partners based on who changed the selected code lines lately (aka "Git blame").

The add-on needs a Hipchat V1 API "administration token" to work because it is not possible to query Hipchat users, to create a dedicated Hipchat room and to also delete it once the pull request is merged with a plain "notification token".

While we do not officially support Hipchat Server installations (only Hipchat cloud), you can use them with our plug-in by adding a line to the /etc/hosts file that effectively redirects www.hipchat.com hipchat.com api.hipchat.com to your local Hipchat server.
