Customize build email based on compiler warnings

Michael Narinsky

Hello,

I would like to modify the standard bamboo build email to include information about compiler warnings.

For example, instead of this:

#10 was successful 100 tests in total.

I want to say this:

#10 was successful but with warnings 100 tests in total. 5 compiler warnings in total.

We use Maven task to complie our code and I've enabled complier warnings output in the project's POM.

I've also read Bamboo documenation on how to customize email notification message and confirmed that by modifying ChainCompletedHtmlEmail.ftl, I can get my email customized.

Now I need to figure out how to pass information about compiler warnings from Maven and use it in the build email.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

Well, I think it's possible provided you have access to Bamboo source distro and you are not afraid of some coding...

The way I would do it is to create new Task Plugin using existing Bamboo Maven Task as a base. Code can be found in Bamboo source distribution.

The modifications would be:

- adding code to the output handler that would parse the Maven warning information

- add warning count (and whatever else you need) to results' custom data. Sth like that:

public TaskResult execute(@NotNull final TaskContext taskContext) throws TaskException {

///... maven stuff here
  taskContext.getBuildContext().getBuildResult().getCustomBuildData().put("warningCount", warningCount));
}

- custom data get's saved with JobResultsSummary and you should be able to access it in notification ftl
