Email only after all retries fail

[Harpel, Craig]

I’m trying to get Jenkins to send email to recipients only after the last attempted retry of a job fails.  In other words, I don’t want them getting email for all the failures; just if they *all* fail.  Is there a way to do that with the email-ext plugin and naginator?

 

Thanks.

How do you determine if the job will be the last attempt? If there is something in the environment or something like that which tells you it is the last attempt, you could use a pre-send script to cancel sending the email unless that condition was met.

Naginator knows the last attempt, because it knows when to give up.

What I’m asking is whether there is any integration between Naginator and one of the email plugins that will let me do this without writing scripts.  It sounds like the answer is “no”.

There currently is not, but email-ext had an extension point for triggers, so someone could implement a trigger for naginator that only sent on the last attempt.

@Craig

Have you figured out a way to access the retry number from a groovy script? I'm having the same exact problem you're having with naginator and the email plugin. Since I'm not sure how to stop the email from going out, my idea was to set the recipient only when it's fails and is on the last retry number.

Hi. I also have same problem and with latest (1.17 - Mar 12, 2016) version of naginator it seems can be solved with NAGINATOR_COUNT, NAGINATOR_MAXCOUNT, NAGINATOR_BUILD_NUMBER variables. But I have no idea how to make it working. For example my non-working script:
def ngc = System.getenv("NAGINATOR_COUNT")
def ngmc = System.getenv("NAGINATOR_MAXCOUNT")
cancel = (ngc!=ngmc)

Try this:

// You need some different default values so it won't be a null
def retryCount = build.envVars['NAGINATOR_COUNT'] ?: 0
def retryMaxCount = build.envVars['NAGINATOR_MAXCOUNT'] ?: 1

retryCount == retryMaxCount

Hi Michal,

I have used below script, but Still email gets triggered for all builds-

def retryCount = build.envVars['NAGINATOR_COUNT'] ?: 0;

def retryMaxCount = build.envVars['NAGINATOR_MAXCOUNT'] ?: 3;
retryCount == retryMaxCount

hey if in case you are still facing the issue,

You can use jenkins Editable Email Notification plugin and in advanced settings you will have an option of failure-X where you can specify after how many failures you need to send the email. Old versions of jenkins may not be helping with this. So you can use the following PRESEND SCRIPT in editable email-notification

try { //used try catch because NAGINATOR_COUNT will be a undefined property for first build

cancel = true

if ($NAGINATOR_COUNT && $NAGINATOR_COUNT == 2) { //where after 2nd retry it will trigger email

 cancel = false

}

} catch (e) {

 cancel = true

}

Hope this answers
