Hi Jacek, I absolutely agree with the two points you brought up. Having Jenkins notification behavior like this is IMHO a very reasonable standard setting for many situations. I just wonder why I can't seem to configure the behavior to whatsoever I believe is necessary. I mean.. there are check boxes to check/uncheck.. what are they for?
My use case: We have many, many branches and corresponding CI jobs (on-push) for each of them. On some of these branches only 1 or 2 people work. The main reason I believe it's necessary to implement my desired behavior for some branches is: *Jenkins must never spam*! 1. *Don't spam the right people*: On relatively "unimportant" branches, the person who broke the build first is exactly the right person to notify. Don't tell him over and over again - he knows and he's working on it according to his work priorities. 2. *Don't spam the wrong people*: After a branch build breaks the team working on it might integrate the master branch progress (via git merge). All the authors that committed stuff on the master branch are now authors of that branch, too. Don't send them mails, it's not their fault, they don't know, mostly they don't care. After three years of experience with Jenkins using the standard notification setting 1. people often receive redundant notifications which they find unnerving (=spam) 2. people often receive confusing notifications about branches they don't even know about and about which they don't care (=spam) If I want people to take such notifications seriously I must send as little of them as possible. Else people will perceive them as noise. That's the last thing I want. Regards, Christian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
