Running tests

To run the rspec tests locally :

1. If you want a specific block:

   • On terminal rspec ./spec/spec_mentions_ans.rb, rspec ./spec/spec_quotes.rb, rspec ./spec/spec_teirobot.rb or rspec ./spec/spec_news_retweet.rb

   • On terminal ruby ./spec/spec_run_all.rb

Instructions

1. Open your terminal:

   • On Windows => Win + R
   • On Linux => ctrl + alt + T
   • On Mac => Control + Option + Shift + T

2. To get access to the bot you will need API Keys. To require them you can reach me on Slack, Twitter or GitHub

3. In the directory where the bot is located, it will be the one where you cloned the repository. Execute the main.rb by typing:

   • bin/main.rb

4. Alright! The bot (https://twitter.com/BotTeiro) is already on, unless you modified the parameters it will do three different things every five minutes:

   • It will retweet a notice for each tag passed as parameter (in this case, world news).
   • It will post a quote (it has over 100 famous quotes stored!).
   • If the bot is mentioned, before doing retweets and post the quote it will take the last mention and answer to it.

5. Whenever you want to terminate the program, use ctrl + C to finish the program.

Have fun!
