I recommend at least skimming the [GitHub webhook documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/about-webhooks) if you are not familiar with webhooks.

In order for GitHub's webhooks to reach your triagebot server, you'll need to figure out some way to route them to your machine.

There are various options on how to do this.

### Zulip testing

If you are modifying code that sends message to Zulip and want to test your changes, you can register a [new free Zulip instance](https://zulip.com/new/). Before launching the triagebot locally, set the Zulip env vars to connect to your test instance (see example in `.env.sample`).

### Zulip testing
132+
133+
If you want a test Zulip instance, you can [register a free one](https://zulip.com/new/). To have your local triagebot talk to this Zulip instance you need to:
134+
- Configure a [webhook forwarding service](#configure-webhook-forwarding)
135+
- Create in your Zulip instance an outgoing webhook bot, binding it to the forwarding address created before.
136+
- Launch your local triagebot setting `ZULIP_WEBHOOK_SECRET` to the webhook bot `token` value (you get that as part of the Zulip bot configuration)
137+
- Set other Zulip env vars as needed (see example in `.env.sample`).
138+
139+
You can also simulate a Zulip webhook payload with `cURL`. For example, this is the payload sent to the triagebot server when tagging a Zulip bot in a stream.
140+
``` sh
141+
curl http://localhost:8000/zulip-hook \
142+
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

- `ZULIP_WEBHOOK_SECRET`: can be anything. Must correspond to the env var `$ZULIP_WEBHOOK_SECRET` on your workstation
161+
- `sender_*`: the Zulip user data sending the message. `sender_id` must be mapped to a GitHub user in this mapping: https://team-api.infra.rust-lang.org/v1/zulip-map.json
162+
- `recipient_id`: Zulip ID of the recipient of the message (in this case the Zulip bot)

You can run Cargo tests using `cargo test`. If you also want to run tests that access a Postgres database, you can specify an environment variables `TEST_DB_URL`, which should contain a connection string pointing to a running Postgres database instance:
