send an email to a distribution list when a build fails/succeeds

[professor]

This is a feature request

I'd like to configure goldberg.yml to use gmail to send out the "build failed" or "build succeeded" email. I would expect an email every time the build failed and one email when it started to succeed again.

@aakashd is already looking into it.

shotgun. I'm trying to make a plugin structure for goldberg

I added a after_build feature to the config.

It's just a matter of after_build Proc.new { |build, project| if (build.status == 'Failed' || (build.status == 'Success' && project.builds[1] == 'failed')) Pony.mail(:to => oeao, :from => ...) }

@gja - The API that we are planning is as shown in attached gist https://gist.github.com/952006

Let me know what you think about it, and if you have a bandwidth to implement it.

I'm biased by the way cruisecontrol.rb does this. In the system configuration, one can specify default configurations (ie from address). In the project configuration, one specifies the "to address". If a "to address" is present, then the default behavior would be email on failure and email on first successful after a failure. I would document how to override the default with more interesting behavior.

I'm traveling quite a bit in May, so I'm not able to contribute as much as I can in June.

What's the progress on this? I'm interested in writing a Campfire notifier so that Goldberg can notify a campfire room.

It's not clear to me who is working on this feature right now.

[aakashd]

I have worked on this issue, and its already done.

The API is

Project.configure do |config|
  config.rake_task = 'ci'
  config.on_build_failure do |build,notification|
    notification.from('goldber@c42.in').to('aakashd@gmail.com').with_subject("Build #{build.id} for #{build.project.name} #{build.status}").send
  end
end

@rohit I have added hooks for on_build_completion, on_failure, on_success & on_red_to_green; which you can use to hook the Campfire notifications.
