This Plugin for buildbot adds a reporter which sends notifications to a specified matrix room.

Inspired by buildbot-gitea by lab132.

• Create a new Matrix user which will be used to send notifications.
• Set a meaningful display name for the user. For Example Buildbot Notifications

• Add this to the buildbot configuration:

c['services'] = [
	reporters.MatrixStatusPush(
		'https://homeserver.example.com',
		'ROOM_ID:example.com',
		'BOT_ACCESS_TOKEN',
		verbose=True
	)
]

• Replace BOT_ACCESS_TOKEN with the acces token of the matrix user, this can be a buildbot secret.
• Replace ROOM_ID with the id of the matrix room the bot should send the notifications to. Replace the ! at the beginning with %21.
