Hi Vincent,

Sounds good (I like experiments ;)) but before going
too far I'd like to see:
1) the needs we have regarding hudson mails.
For example, IMO we need:
- immediate notification after a commit that makes the
build fail
Often a Hudson build includes multiple commits from different committers
so it's not always possible to know what commit broke the build. My use
case is this: multiple commits occur while all Hudson agents are busy
(build pending queue size > 0). By the time Hudson gets the chance to
(re)build a module, that module has been affected (directly or
indirectly) by multiple commits.
- no false positives
- know who broke the build very visibly (with the
commit that broke it)
Same, I don't think this is always possible.
- console logs in the mail not to have to click on the
link to get details
+1
- short and clear mail subjects (right now they're
long and all look the same which makes it hard to see which module is broken)
+1
- no duplicate mails. We receive one for the top level
project and one for the each module right now
Grouping the test results for each module is good IMO. Maybe not in
separate mails, a single mail would do just fine. I don't like the fact
that in Caleb's reports test failures from different modules are listed
together; in order to see the WYSIWYG selenium test failures I have
check the URLs.
- no mails when build is successful; only when it
fails
One mail to notify that the build is back to normal is good IMO.
Thanks,
Marius
Do we agree about those needs? Any more?
2) how you report is addressing these needs in 1) and whether it's supposed to
replace the existing mails sent or come in addition to them. Also I'd like to know how
frequently it is sent? On each commit? On a time basis?
Thanks

out bugs and make improvements in real time.
I'm +1 to getting reports going.
A technical challenge is that unless one of the build agents has access to a mail relay,
it will not
be able to send mail. If this is a problem, it can be fixed by signing up with an email
service and
placing the password in a file on the filesystem of the agent which the job is bound to.
The file
can be loaded by the configuration script.
