I have just seen the exact same problem using Firefox 3.6.23 with the same versions of Jenkins and Email-ext.

Error: emailExtInit is not defined

I'm seeing exactly the same.

Jenkins 1.463, email-ext 2.20 Firefox 12

I saw there were problems with email-ext and the promotion plugin before.
I have the promotion plugin installed and i'm trying to add an Editable Email as a promotion action,
although I can't add an Editable Email as a normal post build action.

Accidentally assigned to me

Seeing the same issue in Chrome 18.0.1025.168

Email EXT Plugin - 2.20
Jenkins - 1.463

From the chrome JS console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: emailExtInit is not defined
(anonymous function)
(anonymous function)hudson-behavior.js:480
nexthudson-behavior.js:498
(anonymous function)hudson-behavior.js:481

script.onload.script.onreadystatechangehudson-behavior.js:2558

I'm seeing exactly the same.

Jenkins 1.463, email-ext 2.20 Firefox 11

Actually, with a fresh install of Jenkins 1.463 and Email-ext 2.20, I do not see any JS errors and I am able to add it as a post-build action. Please give more information for debug.

Sorry, I take that back, I hit the wrong button. The issue looks like that the first eval'd script somehow loses its state. The first script initializes the emailExtInit variable and subsequent scripts use it.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu, jenkins1.463 and email-ext 2.20. I had the promotion plugin installed but wasn't using it on any projects. I also uninstalled the promotion plugin and still have this issue.

Yes, this issue will affect ALL users who are using 1.463 regardless of browser or OS. It has to do with the change to the dropdown post-build that was put in recently. I am in the process of debugging it. It has nothing to do with the promotions plugin and everything to do with the version of Jenkins you are running.

Let us know when you have something, we're affected by the same issue.

What is the xml so we can manually enable this in a job's config file?

• Workaround issue with eval'd jscript code by making the variable window level (global)

I have made the changes locally as specified in the link above (deleted three lines and added three lines), and validated that it does work now for me.

Note, the path to the file on my system (OEL5.5) was:

/var/lib/jenkins/plugins/email-ext/WEB-INF/classes/hudson/plugins/emailext/ExtendedEmailPublisher/config.jelly

Put in place a workaround to have the custom JS object made a global.

I am facing same problem with Jenkins ver. 1.463 and Jenkins ver. 1.464 with Chrome browser19.0.1084.46 m

Work around is also not working

Then try installing 2.21. It works for me on those versions.

Thanks, 2.21 works for me!

Verified as working in 2.21

Hi,

Jenkins automatic updates doesn't detect version 2.21. Do I have to manually install the version 2.21 of the plugin?

Regards,

Juanma

What version of core are you using? 2.21 was upgraded to depend on the latest LTS release.

The problem is solved, it appears that Jenkins only needed time to detect the update. Thanks
