Jenkins 2.106, email-ext 2.61, Pipeline 2.5
I have a function that defines the emailex configuration like this:
def sendNotification(buildChanged) {
// Some extra logic removed for presentation purposes.
emailext (
subject: "[CI] ${env.JOB_NAME} ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} still unstable",
body: "Build still unstable: ${env.BUILD_URL}",
recipientProviders: [[
$class: "DevelopersRecipientProvider",
$class: "RequesterRecipientProvider"
]]
)
}
then I do this for notifications:
post {
always {
junit "reports/**/test*.xml"
}
changed {
sendNotification buildChanged: true
}
failure {
sendNotification buildChanged: false
}
unstable {
sendNotification buildChanged: false
}
}
Unfortunately what happens after a commit is this:
An attempt to send an e-mail to empty list of recipients, ignored.
The developer list is definitely not empty. So the expected result is not empty.
Am I missing something? Also, somewhat related to this, is there a plan for a nicer syntax for the pipelines, especially for the declarative one? Configuring notifications right now, especially more complex ones, is tedious and error prone.
[JENKINS-49583] Adding multiple recipientProviders
Syntax for the emailext step can be improved by adding @Symbol annotations to the various provider classes's Descriptor classes, fyi.
For other poor souls that want to configure this, the correct syntax is:
recipientProviders: [ [ $class: "DevelopersRecipientProvider" ], [ $class: "RequesterRecipientProvider" ], [ $class: "CulpritsRecipientProvider"] ]
So it's actually nested arrays. The documentation does say it, so my bad here, I'll close this issue.
I will create a separate issue about the emailext UX when using the pipelines.
I can't comment on pipeline syntax I am not involved in that at all.
This all looks fine to me and should work the function is not annotated @NonCPS or something is it? the way you have posted it this should be the same as if you called emailext at each location directly
