Avoiding job failure email notification when an old job is cancelled by a newer job when entering a throttled stage

[Meiteimacha999]

i have my workflow set up like so. This sends an email notification when a job fails. 

node("slave1") {

  ws("e:\\jenkins\\workspace\\jobname\\${env.BUILD_NUMBER}") {

  try{

stage name: 'sync', concurrency: 2

  bat '''echo "before sync"

  set a=%RANDOM%

  echo %a%

  echo "after sync"'''

  sleep 10

  

stage name: 'build', concurrency: 1

  bat '''mkdir %cd%\\Build-%BUILD_NUMBER%

  dir %cd%

  cd %cd%\\Build-%BUILD_NUMBER%

  copy /y NUL EmptyFile.txt >NUL'''

  sleep 10

stage name: 'test', concurrency: 2

  bat '''dir %cd%

  dir %cd%\\Build-%BUILD_NUMBER%'''

  sleep 17

}

catch (err){

        stage 'Send Notification'

        def msgimg="https://localhost/images/some.gif"

        def newurl="${env.BUILD_URL}console"

        mail (to: 'adminj...@somename.com',

             subject: "Job '${env.JOB_NAME}' (${env.BUILD_NUMBER}) has had an error.",

             body: "Ran on <b>${env.NODE_NAME}</b><br>job failed <a href=${newurl}>${env.JOB_NAME}</a>. Some more message.... .<br><img src=${msgimg} />",

             mimeType:'text/html');

        currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'

    }

}

}

But the issue, is i am also getting email notice for jobs that were cancelled due to the newer job catching up with the older job while running concurrently. I just want email notice for jobs that actually failed due to some error and not be notified for jobs that were marked failed as they were canceled by a presiding job.  

Have anyone handled this issue?

Have you tried looking more closely at the exception 'err' to see whether they're different based on how the build was failed/aborted?

how do i check the difference? is there a way to print it in Windows? 

[Meiteimacha999]

okay - so when a job fails, it throws the exception: hudson.AbortException: script returned exit code 1

And when its cancelled by the new job, it throws this: org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.FlowInterruptedException

I am not a groovy man, so any help to put a condition inside the catch (like an IF statement) will be helpfull

[Meiteimacha999]

Almost there but still not perfect yet:

node {

try {

// some stages for the workflow

}

catch (org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.FlowInterruptedException e){

        echo "the job was cancelled or aborted"

 

}

 catch (err){

}

I can get the catch the interrupted job and it echos the string. But for any other exceptions i was expecting it will be caught by the other. But it doesn't.

Hi,

Take a look at:

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci/blob/master/scripts/build/build-test.groovy#L233

I have a big try / catch / finally block in the script.

I explicitly set currentBuild.result in that script, and
check to see if currentBuild.result is equal to "ABORTED".

I don't know if there is a better way to do it,

but that's what I got to work.
