Standup Checker

Is standup going to be on Slack or Zoom?

This script is a companion to Keyboard Maestro.

Running the script will create a standupFormat variable in Keyboard Maestro and set it to a string of either zoom or slack.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Keyboard Maestro
• yarn
• node

Installation

Install node-jxa globally.

$ yarn global add node-jxa

Replace the node-jxa.js file in the package with the file in ./docs/node-jxa.js. The package's file has invalid code that breaks the package.

$ cp ./docs/node-jxa.js ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/node-jxa/node-jxa.js

Install Standup Checker.

$ yarn
$ yarn build:global

Usage

The script executable globally.

From terminal, run

$ standup-checker

Open Keyboard Maestro and go to Preferences > Variables. Look for the standupFormat variable.

Keyboard Maestro Setup

1. Create a new macro or use an existing one.
2. Add a new Action.
3. Select Execute > Execute a Shell Script.
4. In the new Action window, set it to:
   • With input from Nothing.
   • Execute text script.
   • ignore results.
5. Add this to the text field:

   PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
   standup-checker

   NOTE: Keyboard Maestro and Automator do not reference the system's PATH, and therefore need it specified in order to know where the global scripts are.

TO DO

• Output zoom and slack as strings, so that script can be used by other automating tools besides Keyboard Maestro.
