slack-orb Slack Group Mentions

Describe Request:

Currently only able to mention individual users. Would like to mention a group that has multiple users in it. This would be better as then we only have to manage groups as people come and go. Hardcoding a person is not ideal.

Examples:

Each group seems to have a UUID 'S0....' @QA-group @Team-group

QA-group

person 1
person 2

Hi, @bcyip 👋

The orb already supports group mentions. You can see here and here that we mention the group orbs in the integration tests.

Are you getting some sort of error when you try it?

I am closing the issue due to not getting further details. And as mentioned in the previous comment, the orb supports group mentions.

Hi @EricRibeiro,

I am unable to mention groups. I have code that works great for U0XXXXXXX (users) but not S0XXXXXXXX (groups). It would also be nice if I could use @here.

@TNonet, can you share what version of the orb you are using? Can you also share Slack's payload when you set the debug parameter to true?

Version: circleci/[email protected] For the payload, I am getting this error adding the debug option.

Error calling command: 'slack/notify'
Unexpected argument(s): debug

Does this suggest my version needs to be updated?

Yeah, would you mind bumping it to v4.10.1?

I only see changelogs from 4.9 (https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/slack-orb/releases). Are there a list of breaking changes since 4.2 somewhere?

Nov 16 '22 21:11 TNonet

We started doing changelogs somewhat recently. Nevertheless, you should not expect breaking changes since we follow semantic versioning closely. Breaking changes would lead to a major bump, i.e. v5.x.x.

It's been a while since the last input here, so I'll close the issue. @TNonet, please open another issue if you still face this problem with the orb's most recent version.

Thanks @EricRibeiro! Will do.

I had some other high priority items come up and I hope to get back to this later this week or next.
