Jenkins Email Notificaiton

| Comments

Email notification with Email-ext plug-in:

  • pre-send scripts

We use Jenkins as our ci server, and we run integration test on firefox on xvfb. Sometime, we receive the email about test failure, caused by xvfb starting failed.

So we want to ignore sending email by this case. As we know, the email-ext plugin can help us. we should write pre-send scripts, but we don’t know how to write them.

How do I write a script to cancel sending email when failure output message contains a specified error message? Solution:

My groovy script in email-ext plugin pre-send-script is:

1
2
3
4
5
6

try {
    def logFilePath = build.getLogFile().getPath();
    String logContent = new File(logFilePath).text;
    if (logContent.find(/Xvfb failed to start/)) cancel=true;
} catch (all) {
}

That resolve my problem.
