What version of email-ext?

Hi

I also got similar issue just few days back for email extension plugin 2.66.

Please resolve this issue asap.

Email was triggered for: Unstable (Test Failures)
Sending email for trigger: Unstable (Test Failures)
ERROR: Could not send email as a part of the post-build publishers.
java.lang.NullPointerException

That corresponds to this line of code: https://github.com/jenkinsci/email-ext-plugin/blob/email-ext-2.66/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/emailext/ExtendedEmailPublisherDescriptor.java#L244

I can add some checking in there to make sure things aren't null.

Hi Alex,

Can you please confirm when this issue will be resolved?

Is there any current workaround in Jenkins to trigger emails post build?

Thanks & Regards,

slide_o_mix - please confirm when the next version of the email extension plugin will be available with the fix of this issue?

I'm still trying to replicate it so that I can make sure the fix is good.

slide_o_mix , issue is resolved. I added my email id in the Jenkins mail configuration and now the email extension plugin is triggering emails after build.

It seems we need to configure at least one email account in the jenkins mail configuration. If email is not present then null pointer exception is thrown.

Fixed in https://github.com/jenkinsci/email-ext-plugin/commit/5b7032bba59c32a8d8260983a852496e51312806
