I used the script below to replace the standard mail notifier with email-ext. It should be relatively easy to update it to only do the first part (remove mail notifications). But I don't know how exactly you would enable it back when you're done setting up everything.
import hudson.model.* import hudson.maven.* import hudson.tasks.* import hudson.plugins.emailext.* import hudson.plugins.emailext.plugins.trigger.* for (item in Hudson.instance.items) { //if (item.name != "Debug env") { // continue //} println("\njob: $item.name") recipients = "\$DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS" for (publisher in item.publishersList) { // Search for default Mailer Publisher (doesn't exist for Maven projects) if(publisher instanceof Mailer) { // save recipients recipients = publisher.recipients // remove publisher item.publishersList.remove(publisher) } else // Or for Extended Email Publisher if (publisher instanceof ExtendedEmailPublisher) { // save recipients (if it already exist it overrides others values) recipients = publisher.recipientList item.publishers.remove(publisher) // remove it item.publishersList.remove(publisher) } } // If we found recipients list to send mail if (recipients != null) { println (">CURRENT RECIPIENT : "+recipients) // We create a new Extended Email Publisher def eep = new ExtendedEmailPublisher(); eep.recipientList = recipients eep.defaultSubject = "\$DEFAULT_SUBJECT" eep.defaultContent = "\$DEFAULT_CONTENT" // With some triggers eep.configuredTriggers.add(new FailureTrigger( email : new EmailType( sendToRecipientList : true, sendToDevelopers : false, includeCulprits : false, body : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_BODY_TEXT, subject : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_SUBJECT_TEXT ))) eep.configuredTriggers.add(new FixedTrigger( email : new EmailType( sendToRecipientList : true, sendToDevelopers : false, includeCulprits : false, body : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_BODY_TEXT, subject : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_SUBJECT_TEXT ))) eep.configuredTriggers.add(new StillFailingTrigger( email : new EmailType( sendToRecipientList : true, sendToDevelopers : false, includeCulprits : false, body : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_BODY_TEXT, subject : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_SUBJECT_TEXT ))) eep.configuredTriggers.add(new AbortedTrigger( email : new EmailType( sendToRecipientList : true, sendToDevelopers : false, includeCulprits : false, body : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_BODY_TEXT, subject : ExtendedEmailPublisher.PROJECT_DEFAULT_SUBJECT_TEXT ))) // And we add/replace it in the project item.publishersList.replace(eep); } else { println (">NO RECIPIENT") } } On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Patrick Byrne <p.by...@samsung.com> wrote: > ....
