Jenkins Subversion Survey Failure Email Notification

Question

We had a job at Jenkins that did not perform subversion polls for more than 24 hours due to a password change. This does not immediately become apparent when this happens, unless you notice that the tasks are not being performed and are actually checking the logs, the assembly will not work, since it never started.

Has anyone found a solution to notify Jenkins administrators of any polling failures? My current idea is to schedule either the same or the second task, which runs periodically to make sure the login is valid.

Expected Log Example

Started on Aug 16, 2013 11:55:35 AM Received SCM poll call on for Trunk on Aug 16, 2013 11:55:35 AM http://svn.mycompany.com/trunk/sources is at revision 76,283 Done. Took 64 ms No changes 

Bad Log Example

 Started on Aug 16, 2013 11:04:36 AM Received SCM poll call on for Trunk on Aug 16, 2013 11:04:36 AM ERROR: Failed to check repository revision for http://svn.mycompany.com/trunk/sources org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNCancelException: svn: E200015: OPTIONS /trunk/sources failed at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:375) ...

Jenkins is not supporting this right now because the survey is taking place outside the context of work .

Some ideas:

• the preferred poll should die if you run the job from Capturing SVN commit , I believe that the password will fail when svn is updated, thus, during operation. You will be notified. You can also get rid of the survey.

• fix JENKINS-11760 ;)
