email only when different outcome
Hi n email notifiers there are different options, "on error", "always", "on abort", etc etc.
Is there a way to email only if job has different outcome than the last run? For example success -> error, or error -> abort
I've thought about adding a procedure step but that would become part of the test itself. I need something post-steps and pre-email-notifier. Any thoughts/solutions?
Found the answer: 1. in job steps do this:
( create a /myProject/status property 1st ) ectool createProperty "/myJob/sendMail" --value "false" if [ "$[/myProject/status]" != "$myStatus" ] ; then ectool setProperty "/myJob/sendMail" --value "true" fi ectool setProperty "/myProject/status" --value $myStatus2. in email notificaiton. use condition trigger
$[/javascript if(getProperty("/myJob/sendMail") == 'true')
true;
else
false;]
You would have to save the outcome of your last job as a project property for example (somehwre that will exist between jobs) Then you condition for your email notifier would something like:
$[/javascript "$[/myProject/lastOutcome]" != "$[/myJob/outcome]" ];
