[users at bb.net] Buildbot not sending email status updates

[Barta, Hank]

Hi Pierre,
Thanks for the information and suggestions.

We have updated Docker via PPA in order to avail ourselves of the ability to map internal files to the external filesystem.

I will look into 0.9.0rc1 (though I have to admit that a .0 release makes me a little nerveous.)

Best,
hank

Thanks for the clarification. 
If you are starting a new bot I would definitely recommend to start with 0.9.0rc1.
It has docker support built in and lots of better internals that will help you to scale when the time comes.
You can look at the Dockerfiles that we provide in the source code as a good start to build your own.
I would also recommend as a docker best practice to not put sendmail in the same docker and rather use docker compose to create your system.
Also for docker, as it is new technology I would also recommend to use the latest version and not the one shipped in 14.04

Hi Pierre,
Thanks for the reply.

There is no reason not to upgrade. The only reason I’m on 0.8.8 is because that is what comes stock with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (Unfortunately Ubuntu cannot be upgraded.)

I can upgrade given a reason. If you’re saying that email notification may not work in 0.8.8 and getting help for that is not likely due to how far behind it is, I think that is sufficient reason.

I wanted to first make sure that there was not something obvious that I was doing wrong and you did not spot anything obvious. I think that before I pursue this further I should upgrade.

Thanks,
hank

Hi Hank.
Any reason why you won't upgrade?
0.8.8 is so antique that it is difficult for us to answer.
Looking at your email. It looks like you are doing it right but the devil is in the details.
Without the actual Dockerfile of the worker and the relevant master.cfg snippets it's difficult for us to help.
Cheers
Pierre

Let me try this again - I'm not sure it went out. (Formatting this time as plaintext vs. whatever Outlook prefers.)

In addition, I now find that the master will not startup with "mode=('all',)" even though that is a documented mode for 0.8.8.

Thanks,

Hi folks,
I'm running Buildbot 0.8.8 in a Docker container (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) on a Linux host. I've configured postfix on the host and ssmtp inside the container to be  able to send email. I have confirmed this by sending using 'sendmail' from within the container.

I have tried to configure Buildbot to send email status updates using the following code:
# add email status notification

from buildbot.status import mail
from buildbot.status.builder import Results

def messageFormatter(mode, name, build, results, master_status):
    result = util.Results[results]

    text = list()
    text.append("STATUS: %s" % result.title())
    return {
        'body' : "\n".join(text),
        'type' : 'plain'
    }

m = mail.MailNotifier(fromaddr="codebuilder at sandc.com",
                      extraRecipients=["hank.barta at sandc.com"],
                      mode=('all',),
                      sendToInterestedUsers=False,
                      messageFormatter=messageFormatter)
c['status'].append(m)

This follows the web status notifier which does work,

I thought that this configuration would send email for any event. I can force s successful build but I get no email.

Do I have something wrong or are my expectations wrong?

Thanks!
