Pepper talk is a messenger personal assistant with a spicy personality, it implements a list of specialists that can help you with tasks and provide spicy information.

For development, we use pipenv. Is a package manager similar to npm, where you provide a list of dependencies and pipenv takes care of resolving them. To:

• install pipenv: brew install pipenv
• install deps: pipenv install

You will need the env variables to run pepper talk, as @anjiyi or @andrekiu for them. After getting them you can run pepper talk with 2 bash scripts:

• ./dev.sh: starts a flask server with the proper configuration
• ./test.sh: runs all the unit tests, MUST BE RAN BEFORE COMMITING CODE

Pepper talk is divided in:

• app.py: Routes to debug and reply to messenger
• peppertalk.py: Deprecated logic that must be migrated to specialists
• lib/: core modules that power peppertalk, see message.py and reply.py to get an idea on how to customize peppertalk
• lib/specialists: commands that peppertalk can reply to. All specialists have to extend PepperSpecialist, see base.py

All the app has unit tests that are ran by ./tests.sh, the only special test is teste2e.py that makes sure the app don't crash. If this test doesn't pass the pepper is dead.
