Having the latest test results in a notification email with Hudson

Question

I have a project with a lot of failed tests, so it would be great to receive by email the number of failed tests comparable to the last build. I only need the information that appears on the project page using the test results link:

Last test result (10 failures / -2)

Is it possible? I already tried the email-ext plugin, but it does not tell me this information (I may have a list of failed tests with output, etc., but I really need this information above).

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In the end, I used a patch for the email-ext plugin that allows you to have a groovy template for your email. I think this should be integrated into the main btw plugin.

This is the page I read:

hope it will be useful for someone else

Why not compile the results yourself? When you try to fix errors quickly, recording another program at the same time seems counterintuitive.
