It seems that a plugin is needed in order to achieve this. A quick search pointed me to “email-ext”[1].

Email-ext about itself:

> This plugin extends Jenkins built in email notification functionality by giving you more control. It provides customization of 3 areas.
>
> Triggers - Select the conditions that should cause an email notification to be sent.
> Content - Specify the content of each triggered email’s subject and body.
> Recipients - Specify who should receive an email when it is triggered.

Is this something we consider handy or is more information needed?

I would use whatever Holger picked for jenkins.debian.net: the INSTALL file in http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=qa/jenkins.debian.net.git;a=summary says “The Jenkins EMail notification plugin is used”. Is it the same? If unsure, ask holger@debian.org :)

I asked Holger. He uses this plugin, which is a different one I previously listed: http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Mailer

He uses this plugin to also send irc notifications from the emails, apparently, it works nicer than kgb-bot. More scripts can be seen at: git://git.debian.org/git/qa/jenkins.debian.net.git

see bin/email2irc.sh
see bin/email2irc.sh and ./procmailrc

I think we could mark this as resolved ?

No, the current setup is only a preliminary experiment. Now:

• let’s wait a month or two, and see if tails-dev@ subscribers complain;
• most likely, we’ll want more fine-grained notifications at some point (e.g. reporting to the person who broke stuff), as discussed on tails-dev@.

https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/jenkins/jobs.git/tree/jobs.yaml might help: it has a quite extensive config for the email-ext plugin.

I’m not sure there really is a problem here. We’re not using the email-ext plugin, but the Mailer plugin (used also on jenkins.debian.net) shipped with the Debian package.

We also hardcode the email that should be notified in our jobs configuration, so for automatic builds the notification on failure should be sent to the right recipient.

I’m not sure for the build triggered through the Jenkins web interface though.

We’ll see once the automatic build feature is deployed I think, this needs some live testing.

That’s thanks to this code snippet, right?

        elif branch['job_recipients'] == 'whoever_broke_the_build':
            self.job['publishers'].extend([
                {'email': {'recipients': '', 'sent-to-individuals': True}}
            ])

Was this tested and confirmed to do the right thing (as specified in the blueprint)?
(If not, please do test it, before we start spamming tons of people, in a way that should email you only if it works fine :)

Yes.

Tested in build 148 of the build_Tails_ISO_feature-8415-overlayfs job.
As you can see in the logs after setting the job accordingly and introducing a build failure, I confirm I did get the notification in my mailbox.
