Rapporteur

A simple package to log the result of the execution of a program, as well as status updates, to Slack (and possibly other backends).

Install

pip install rapporteur
# or #
uv add rapporteur

Getting the information you need

To make rapporteur work, you need:

1. A Slack app installed in the workspace (https://api.slack.com/apps). Make sure that it has the scope to write to channels. Then, add it to the relevant channels (Edit Settings for the channel, go to Integrations, Add App, then select the app).
2. A token for that app. You can find it in OAuth&Permissions
3. The channel ID. If you click on the name of a channel, you can see its Channel ID at the bottom, which typically starts with C. If you are in a browser, it is also the last part of the URL.

Basic usage

from rapporteur.report import Report
from rapporteur.slack import SlackReporter

report = Report(
    description="My test report",
    reporters=[
        SlackReporter(token="xoxb-your-token", channel="C12345678")
    ],
)
with report:
    logger.info("Hello, world!")
    logger.error("oh no!")  # Will be in the Slack report

With serieux

The configuration for a report can be stored in a file and deserialized using serieux (>=0.2.9).

Configuration

description: "test test test"
reporters:
  - $class: rapporteur.slack:SlackReporter
    token: "xoxb-your-token"
    show_logs: 5   # Show last 5 error logs
    channel: "C12345678"

To encrypt the token using PASSWORD, set the $SERIEUX_PASSWORD environment variable to PASSWORD and run:

serieux patch -m rapporteur.report:Report -f path/to/config.yaml

The above command will patch the config inplace to replace the token with an encrypted version of the token, using the provided password. The argument to -m is a reference to the model for the whole configuration file, so you may want to adjust it if the report config is part of a bigger config.

Code

import os
from serieux import deserialize
from serieux.features.encrypt import EncryptionKey

# You can omit EncryptionKey if it's not encrypted
report = deserialize(Report, Path("path/to/config.yaml"), EncryptionKey(os.environ[SERIEUX_PASSWORD]))
with report:
    logger.info("Hello, world!")
    logger.error("oh no!")  # Will be in the Slack report

    # Optional: set a custom message to be displayed at the end
    report.set_message("It is done.")
