If you can get to the failure reason from code, using the groovy template feature of email-ext might work for you

The poll job syncs and triggers multiple build jobs (e.g. release / debug version) It fails when one build job fails. This approach minimizes RCS traffic and email notification. The downside of this approach is that the poll job doesn't know why a build job failed. The email which is sent out just states "build failed" and the last rcs changes. We need to put the root cause of the build failure.into this email. Any ideas? Best Regards Joern -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
