> Buildbot does this if you have the MailNotifier send to "interested
users".. or am I missing what this bug is about?
If I set the !MailNotifier's mode=!["failing"], then the user that forced
the build will only get mail if the forced build fails. I think the issue
is not that Buildbot doesn't behave as documented, just that users (at
least some I have spoken to) expect that forced/try builds should be
different from automatically-scheduled builds, in that the interested user
should get mail whether or not the forced/try build failed, whereas they
don't want an email for every successful automatically-scheduled build.
I've considered subclassing !MailNotifier and overriding isMailNeeded() to
include this kind of logic, as I don't think that just adding another mode
such as "force" would address all my user's requirements - I basically
need to send email for failing builds on ''some'' builders, but send
emails for all force/try builds on ''all'' builders. A slightly nicer
option would be to add a parameter to the !MailNotifier that accepts a
predicate function indicating whether or not mail should be sent.
