Send email based on script output

[varun umesh]

I have test automation framework, and the test runs are driven through Jenkins. After the test run is completed, it generates a few custom test reports, as html file. In the report, i have a table with total number of errors as one of the column. I basically want to parse this html file and send out an email to a mailing list if the error is greater than 0.

Here is what i have done till now, in my Jenkins job:

a. Configured the job to run the tests [this is in an execute shell option and running my jar, as the test framework is a java application]
b. I have a post build action, in which i execute a python code, which does the following:

Step 1. Get the latest html report.
Step 2. Parse this file.
Step 3. If the error is > 0:
then email_flag = true
else:
email_flag = false.

Now is there a way i can use the above flags and send email notifications, via Jenkins plugins? I just want to understand the best way to do this. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. I did some additional research and i see the Email-ext plugin [https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Email-ext+plugin] has a pre-send script option, but i just don't know how to use this to run the python code and handle the email messaging.

i can't recall the exact name but there is a jenkins option to execute some groovy script. (if you are still using the old jenkins jobs NOT pipeline). So based on the flag, execute the script that triggers the mail
