For my Jenkins job I would like to have Jenkins send e-mails under two conditions:
The build was fine before, but now it fails.
The build failed before, but now it is fine.
I do not want it to send e-mails for any additional failing builds between (1) and (2).
I would have expected that having the setting "Send e-mail for every unstable build" unchecked would prevent just that, but I receive e-mail for every single failed build.
How can I achieve my desired behavior? Is this a bug in Jenkins (2.121.2) or the Mailer plugin (1.21)?
There is a better plugin for sending emails on certain conditions on Jenkins plugin site: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Email-ext+plugin
Try finding Editable email in post-build actions or install it via Jenkins manage plugins options.
Below is a screenshot which is part of the Editable Email notification post-build task:

On a Ubuntu, I have a Jenkins service setup with Email-EXT plugin, where I have setup jobs executed regularly, and emails are being sent after the job execution. But just recently, I no longer receive any emails after the job execution.
Details:
In each job execution "console output", it is said that Email has been triggered.
And I was able to use the "Test configuration by sending test e-mail"
on Jenkins/"configure system" page" to send out the testing email.
Based on my company rule, I had the password changed just recently.
And I did the some update on jenkins/configure page as well.
jenkins version 2.176.1
EMAIL-EXT plugin version: 2.69
So what could be wrong for not receiving emails ????
In my case, there is nothing wrong with the jenkins side settings. I have switched the smtp server to user the gmail one, and it works. It must be some policy change on my company smtp server side.
BTW, to turn on the debug mode of the trigger gives some direction to my case.
We recently rebuilt our Jenkins server and we are using Jenkins 2.3.5/JDK8/ubuntu 14.04/bitbucket cloud/hipchat cloud.
After we got the newly built Jenkins server running, everything worked except for the build result notification.
We used to get the bitbucket account that we used with Jenkins to comment on the build result, so we can receive it in the hipchat room, even without using hipchat notification plugin. Now, we have tried the emailext plugin, Bitbucket Build Status Notifier Plugin, but none of them worked. It seems that the plugin is all out of date in terms of configurations.
For emailext, it complains "An attempt to send an e-mail to empty list of recipients, ignored." But we put a number of email in the "Default Recipients". And all the SMTP settings are correct since we can receive testing message.
For Bitbucket Build Status Notifier Plugin, I followed here, but I couldn't find the "Bitbucket notify build status" in the job configure.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Use Extended Email notification plugin, set SMTP server in Jenkins global configuration
I’m using Jenkins v 1.61 with Java 7. I have a Maven job set up, using SVN for Source Code Management. I have a “Run buildstep before SCM runs” set up (courtesy of the pre-scm-buildstep plugin) and a pre-build step (a short script) set up prior to the Maven goals being run.
My question is, if any of these steps fails, how can I get notified via email of the failure?
Use Jenkins Mailer Plugin, This plugin allows you to configure email notifications for build results.
Plugin ID mailer
Latest Release 1.18
Latest Release Date Sep 04, 2016
Required Core 1.625.3
E-Mail notifications are configured in jobs by adding an E-mail notification Post-build Action. If configured, Jenkins will send out an e-mail to the specified recipients when a certain important event occurs:
Every failed build triggers a new e-mail.
A successful build after a failed (or unstable) build triggers a new
e-mail, indicating that a crisis is over.
An unstable build after a successful build triggers a new e-mail,
indicating that there's a regression.
Unless configured, every unstable build triggers a new e-mail,
indicating that regression is still there.
How about combining pre-scm-buildstep, conditional-buildstep and any-buildstep plugin.
This should allow you to run a publisher step like sending email notifications on a regular build step or a pre scm build step (feature provided by any-buildstep plugin). You could also add a condition check (feature provided by the conditional-buildstep plugin) on the pre-scm-buildstep phase.
You've mentioned that you use a short script prior to the pre-scm-buildstep, just in case you're exporting environment variables as input for your conditional check, remember that you'll also need to write that to a properties file (SEND_EMAIL=true >> my-job.properties) and use env inject plugin to load them on your job environment variables, freestyle jobs don't persist exported shell variables on build steps to be visible to the next steps that come after it.
Lot's of plugins right? Quite annoying. If you want something more elegant, I would recommend using pipeline as code plugin and wrapping everything on a try/catch/finally block, so you could raise an exception before the code checkout stage given a failed check, there are some examples in this article.
We have a Jenkins instance with over 250 jobs installed in it. Until recently corporate rules prevented us from configuring Jenkins to send emails for build failures etc.
We have now been given permission to configure Jenkins to connect to the corporate SMTP server and I have configured one job to send emails and all is working fine. Is there an automated way to enable emails for all jobs or do I have to go into the configuration for each job and manually enable it?
If not are there any plugins or shell scripts?
Configuration Slicing plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Configuration+Slicing+Plugin) can help in this situation.
Install this plugin, then go to Manage Jenkins -> Configuration Slicing -> E-mail Notification
Put email into the left column, all job names to the right column, then press Save.
Please note that it will change each job configuration and add E-mail publisher to them.
I am building our SVN trunk repository every hour. I have configured Jenkins to send emails to those developers who broke the build. For some reason, Jenkins seems to send email to any developer who has ever at any point committed to SVN. I would expect Jenkins to send emails only to those who have broken the build, i.e. those developers who have committed code between a successful build and the failed build. Now it seems that all our developers get sent an email for every failed build.
Any ideas?
Have you tried editable email notification, where you can configure for failure, unstable or any other kind of trigger.
