How to Test

You can test pickabot using the pickabot-dev bot in Slack.

In Slack, you will navigate to pickabot-dev as you would if chatting with any App via DM.

Starting a Test Instance

To start a test instance of pickabot, and to run tests in Slack, do the following:

1. Check that pickabot-dev is enabled in Slack. You may need to check with IT to ask IT to enable the pickabot-dev bot if it is not already.

2. Start a local instance of pickabot-dev by running ark start -l as you would any local service you're testing.

3. Once your local test instance is running, you can send messages by messaging @pickabot-dev in Slack. (To verify the name of the dev pickabot, look at: deployment.yml)
