I'm implementing a slack ops bot that will notify users of job completion on a build server. It needs to be able to DM users on job completion. I've setup a bot user as per the instructions @ https://api.slack.com/bot-users . To send a DM to a particular user, chat.postMessage takes the first argument (channel) as either a @username or a IM channel's ID as per the documentation @ https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage#channels .

Or is there another way to do this? I don't want to have to hardcode it into my server-side application as

I am trying to work on a custom jasmine reporter and get a list of all the failed specs in the specDone function: specDone: function(result) { if(result.status == 'failed') { failedExpectations.push(result.fullName); console.log(failedExpectations); } } where failedExpectations will store an entire list of the failed specs and i need to access this in the afterLaunch function in the protractor config file. But due to the fact that the config file loads everytime a new spec runs it basically gets overwritten and scoping is such that I cannot access it in the afterLaunch function, that is where
