How to configure ant pattern in jenkins for email attachments?

[Rakesh Manoharan]

I am trying to give the following ant pattern for attachments in editable email notification plugin.

I believe my base directory could be /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/

<fileset dir="error/*" casesensitive="yes">   <include name="**/*.log.gz"/>  </fileset>

I have  error.log.gz file in directory /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/error/

After doing this the email is coming with no attachments. Can some one please tell where its going wrong, or could you please share a sample ant xml pattern for attachments in jenkins?

I have also tried the following pattern 

<attachments>
  <fileset dir="dist">
    <include name="**/*.gz" />
  </fileset>
</attachments>

You just need to put the pattern into the textbox, nothing else. "**/*.log.gz" should be all you need

Thanks, but that also didnt work, any other suggestions

Perhaps you could supply your config.xml for the job, or screenshots or something. We're kind of flying blindly at this point.

Sorry about that, please find the attached config file.

Please remove the quotes from the pattern and see if that works.

OK, please enable debug mode in the global configuration for email-ext, it should add some info about attachments.

It would be great, if you can tell me how can I enable debug in that plugin?

[Slide]

In the global configuration there is a check box to enable debug mode

Is error.txt what you are trying to attach? If so, it needs to be in the workspace of the job that is running.

Correct I am trying to send error.txt, But which is the workspace location, many people said its /var/lib/jenkins/jobs, so am putting there, is it a different one?

[Slide]

It depends on how your job is setup, but the workspace is specific to a single job normally, so it wouldn't be directly under the jobs directory. If you change your build step to mv error.txt ${WORKSPACE} that might get the file there.
