Hello Hubert,

As a workaround, you could use Token Macro in Mail-Ext plugin.
See wiki for available macro descriptions.

Macros correctly define owners on any build stage.

Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev

I'll try that. thanks. Do you by chance know if one can set a default value nonetheless? If i set default recipients to job owners globally and a job doesn't define owners or doesn't inject them I'd like to forward the emails to an admin.

Currently, there's no such support in the plugin.
BTW, there's nothing complex to do it. If you create a JIRA issue, I'll try to handle it on the next week (I'm on the business trip now).

Thanks for the fast reply. I've created two new issues JENKINS-23947 and JENKINS-23948 because I'm not sure what's the best solution here - maybe a mix of both. Feel free to reject any of them.

I'll try that. thanks. Do you by chance know if one can set a default value nonetheless?

I'll add the default value to token macros

I'm working on the issue.

JENKINS-23926 - Inject ownership variables even if SCM fails

Compare: https://github.com/jenkinsci/ownership-plugin/compare/514858631f11...6112cfac2399

Big thanks for this, Oleg. I'll try to test this next week.

Tested for two months - working perfectly. This helped us a lot at debugging SVN errors in Jenkins.

Thanks for the response. It works well on our installations too.
I'm closing the issue.
