dhbw_service_bot's Issues

Change requests to urllib3

If the issue with the bot not responding after some time is related to our POST requests, try changing them to use urllib3.requests

Port to AWS Lambda

Change to serverless framework for AWS Lambda so we can run the bot on AWS

Port reoccuring events to vServer

Settings command: check if newly entered info is the same

Especially the course. When the user enters his old course as his new course, we don't need to ask him for the course password

Lecture push should send special message when there are no lectures

Currently, the push does not check if there are no lectures and therefore sends some crap message. It should be checked and in case that there are no lectures it should say smth like "No lectures tomorrow". Implementation should be similar to the getLectures command implementation

Update CustomPushTimes variable on runtime

Currently, this is only updated when the bot is being startet. Update it hourly or something like that

Add a method that gives the user a choice of different options

Add Settings command

E.g. to add/change a course, to change the name, etc.

Evaluation of meals

Evaluate e.g. the frequency in which some meals appear on the menu (implementable via pandas or smth like that)

Update docs

And add docs for this whole meme stuff

Change entered Info

At a command that allows the user to change the info he has given, such as name and course

When choosing „Back“ in Push Time Settings, it answeres „Wrong input“.

Should answer „What do you want to change“. Also, it still works like expected, so it’s just the message that’s wrong

Google public transport API usage

This task includes using the google maps api to get public transport information for the user so that he arrives at the DHBW on time for his first lecture the next day. This is called by the bot logic of the iCal-Task.

Provide vast documentation

Provide documentation for the data model and also for every class so that its easy to understand how something works for others. Also provide information on how to contribute to this project.

Don't send events like blockers

E.g. vacation days often have events marked as 'Sonstige' ('other'). Don't send these events in the lecture plan push as they are unnecessary

Let the user choose the time for the push

Fetch the requested times every night at 00:00 and then just iterate over the list

Update whatdoyouknowaboutme command

Include course and wantsLecturePlan

_{Sent with GitHawk}

Do ... at ... doesn’t work

E.g. the pushes are not sent properly

Report bug automatically create github issue

when a user creates a bug, an issue should automatically created in github. The user then gets the link to the issue to check the status of the bug

Change meme getter / bot photo sender

At the moment, if you want to send a photo, you have to include the logic to check if this is the file itself or just the file_id. Include this in either function to prevent some goddamn shit duplicate code.

Only 4 Star meal rating possible

Error printing

Check if the response from telegram is true. If not, print the complete response to the console for easier debugging.

Make commands case-insensitive

Required by official telegram bot specification

Change meme-sending Logic

At the moment, the TINF19B4 memes are fetched for every user (at sendLectures). Change this to send the course-specific memes

Remove unused stuff

Implement inline commands

Check exam warning behavior in case of multiple exams on the same day

In case of an error, send the name of the user that summoned the error

Telegram provides the name of the user in the request, track it so we know who we have to get back to

Reminder for exams

Add a reminder that checks if there is an exam on the next day and if there is, sends a message to every user of that course

Rewrite Requests to a class

Rewrite the Requests logic to be a class with a function that returns the fetched menu to be used by the bot.

Meme supplier

Send memes alongside the lecture plan push

Refactor Command.py

The double input of message is unnecessary because every new message is handled by a new instance of Command

Add logging via the logging library

Bot crashes when some users use /getlectures -> Home

Refactor code to prevent duplicate hard coded strings

like e.g. answer options that have tom be used multiple times so in case of a change they don't have to be adjusted in multiple places

Rating-System for meals

Implement a system that allows users to rate todays meal and then if the same meal is on the menu another day, send the user the ratings.

Rewrite sendLectures

At the moment, it fetches the lecture plan and also the meme for every user seperately which is quite inefficient. Try fetching these before iterating over all users (although this causes a problem because of the different courses)

Remove Blockers from iCal

Sometimes, at specific dates, the RaPla iCal file contains blockers (or „markers“) for that day. They usually go from 07:30 to 07:45 and start with something like TINF19. Try to delete them from the sent message as these are just markers and the user does not have to be at DHBW at 07:30 because of this.

Make things idiot-proof

Validate every important user input and try to change the code so that a problem that occurs just prints an error to the command line and doesn't break the whole fucking bot

Command info for new users

When a new user registers, provide him with all available commands and what they do so they know how the bot can help them.

Opt-out of meal rating

Solve problem that the bot ignores some messages

This problem probably occurs because the messages get removed from the message list after handling. Change this behavior so it doesnt happen.

Implement Multi-Threading

Especially the maps and menu callouts to external servers sometimes need 0.5-1s each, so with many users, this is a problem. If possible, implement a solution to handle multiple requests at the same time.

Format starting info

The starting info message is very long at the moment, add formatting to provide a clear structure

Provide information about saved user data

Create a command that returns all data saved of the user.

Update help command and starting info

iCal-File-Analysis

This task includes the automatic fetch of the newest version of the iCal file, the analysis to check what lectures the user has the next day and all related bot logic.

Add optional timedelta to public transport info

So that the user can choose to be at DHBW at least e.g. 15 minutes before his lecture starts (because after all, we are limited to DB‘s punctuality here in Germany).

Refactor Main.py

And probably document it better in the code iteself because at the moment, this class is a mess.

Check if there are lectures at saturday and send the push on friday if there are any
