passing variables in chained projects
I am trying to use .email to send a customized message on fail of a job. The first step of the job populates a variable for the message to be sent if the job fails, as well as a variable for who it is to be sent to. I have created a template based on the jobfail default template.
Subject is $subject, and in the body of the template I have the variable $myFailMail. I have a calling job intentionally set to fail. It includes 3 environment which I change with .bset in step 1, and a second step that is designed to fail. Onfail chain is set for the project to call a second project, which has no environment set. The template is set to associate itself with the second job. First project: Step 1: .bset env "notify=jgryder@chubb.com" .bset env "myFailMail=What seems to be the problem" .bset env "notify=jgryder@chubb.com" Step 2 cd FictitiousDirectory Second Project Step 1 .email $notify The $notify variable seems to work. The email gets to me, but the subject and message are populated as they would be in the default template. I have tried prefixing with $BF_CALLER_ in the second project and resetting the variable, i.e. .bset env "myFailMail=$BF_CALLER_myFailMail" but that doesn't work either. I've reread the documentation several times, but can't seem to crack the nut. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jonas |

I have created a template based on the jobfail default template. Hi Jonas, I just wanted to check that I understand your scenario. I see in your first paragraph that you created a template based on the jobfail default template. Was that actually of the 'Job Fail Message' type? The reason I ask is that for the .email to send a customized template for the project/step, it will have to be of type 'Step .email Message'. Brent Ulbricht Developer/Lead - RTC Build |
