Jenkins Multijob + email ext + notify developers (committers) problem.

[Kamil Bednarczyk]

Hello Everyone,

I have a multijob project with quite heavy dependencies. There are 3 levels of build procedure:

• Project 1
• Project 2 - depending on Project 1
• Projects 3,4,5 - depending on Project 1 and 2

Everything works just fine (if someone changes something in e.g. project 3, the build starts with project 1 to check if whole dependency tree is still coherent), but the problem is with emails. I want to notify developer who broke the build. Multijob don't gather information about changes in subprojects - always shows no changes. So if someone checks-in something in project 1 which causes project 3 to fail I'm not able to send the email properly. There's option in email-ext plugin to "Notify upstream commiters", but all of the subjobs in multijob project have as parent multijob project which as I mentioned earlier never shows any changes. Is there a possibility for a multijob plugin to collect changes from subjobs? Or any other workaround for the issue?
