How can we restore error logs to Bamboo HTML build failure mails in Bamboo 3.1?

David Corley

We upgraded from Bamboo 2.6.3 to 3.1.4 just over two weeks ago, and we noticed that that error message snippets from the build are no longer included in the build mails if builds fail.

We'd like to restore this, but I don't think I can simply drop the old velocity markup from 2.6.3 into the 3.1.4 templates.

Can anyone from Atlassian offer suggestions for this?

You can try that, but I think that the old (Freemarker) markup will not find the required data for error log in Freemarker context.

To restore this, you'd need to write your own notifications (extending the existing notification classes and adding the necessary data should do the trick).
