Phony

phony sends fake GitHub webhooks.

Running a GitHub event manager

phony is most commonly used for testing hook, but can be used for testing any externally exposed service configured to receive GitHub events.

To get an idea of phony's behavior, start a local instance of hook with this:

go run prow/cmd/hook/main.go
--deck-url=<production deck URL>
--config-path=prow/config.yaml
--plugin-config=prow/plugins.yaml
--hmac-secret-file=path/to/hmac
-github-token-path=path/to/github-token

Usage

Once you have a running server that manages github webhook events, generate an hmac token (same process as in prow), and point a phony pull request event at it with the following:

bazel run //prow/cmd/phony --
--address=http://localhost:8888/hook
--hmac=<hmac token>
--event=pull_request
--payload="{}"

If you are testing hook and successfully sent the webhook from phony, you should see a log from hook resembling the following:

{"author":"","component":"hook","event-GUID":"GUID","event-type":"pull_request","level":"info","msg":"Pull request .","org":"","pr":0,"repo":"","time":"2018-05-29T11:38:57-07:00","url":""}

A list of supported events can be found in the Github API Docs.
