problems using Email-ext
using groovy/jelly script(Default)
Fail to send emails
attachment pattern doesn't work
solution to above problems:
1.create a new job in jenkins and make a note of your job workspace plays an important role.
Email-ext comes with some ready made default scripts which we can use to send emails with attachments.
place the scriptname you are using inside defalut contents use the pattern below
{script,template="nameofthetemplate}
2.make a note that there are no commiters option in this plug-in infact use triggers and send emails to recipents list by selecting one of the options a.developers b.culprits c.recipentslist d.requestors
3.This is the critical point because attachment section in jenkins use Ant script.so Ant script work mainly on realtive addressing rather than absolute addressing.
so content in attachment pattern should be some thing like this
**/foldername/*.txt
(anyextension)
Note:make sure the floder exists in your job workspace
Hope this helps to some extent

I'm looking for a way to embed file attachments (like screenshots) inside a Perforce changelist. I'm hoping (but not optimistic) that there's a way inside P4 to actually do this, possibly via a plugin.
If not, I'll either have to look into writing a plugin myself (any pointers?), or I have to cook up a wrapper for P4 checkins that also uploads/submits the attachment, then links that attachment to the CL via an identifier inside the CL. (And then I need a tool to correlate and display both).
To add a bit more information: I'm interfacing with the P4 server via a P4API bot that I'm writing. That bots crawls over every checkin and harvests the data it gets to generate reports. I.e. it correlates submissions with the actual feature spec that informed the task, generates a history of progress for that task etc. Within that context, attaching additional meta data to a CL (like a screenshot) is useful because those attachments can then be used in the data mining - they can enhance the reports that I'm generating.
I can guard against bad/rampant metadata attachments via a wrapper program that is used to make 95% of all our P4 submissions, anyway (it has its own dialog). But I gotta figure out how to present all the data inside P4 when the P4 CL spec only seems to have text available.
I don't think there is any (easy) way to do what you're requesting. A changelist is "an atomic change transaction". There is very little meta-data with them. The P4 command reference for p4 change lists everything you're allowed to do, and adding an arbitrary attachment isn't there.
You could always open a feature request in the Perforce forums.
In Response to Edits
It looks like this is actually just one instance of a larger problem you're facing: managing meta-data around your depot's projects and its changelists. I would suggest you use this requirement as a driving force behind making some larger process changes at your organization. If you have a lot of data being generated based on automated analysis of your projects, it would be better to create a proper database to organize it all. Your submission wrapper could handle putting screenshots (or any other meta data) in a database and annotating the change list description with tags that indicate where to find attachments in the database.
A comprehensive database solution would allow you to associate attachments, changelists and other data with each other and other project resources in a more organized fashion than you currently have.
Original Response
If you decide to write a plugin to handle just this task without a database, my suggested approach would be the following:
Designate a shared network drive or directory that is accessible to all team members as the "perforce attachment dump". Users should have write access to this area.
Use the changelist description field to create a tag to name a file that should be attached. For example, "Attach: file_name.jpg".
Your users use the plugin to navigate to the file(s) locally and the plugin will copy it to the dump drive and add the tag to the description. The plugin should enforce some naming scheme to make the files easy to find. Perhaps append the changelist number to the file base name? Or create a folder for each changelist?
Use a server side pre-submit trigger and script to scan submitted changelist descriptions for tags and retrieve this file from the attachment dump. It should probably reject changelists with the tag if it can't find the file.
The server side script should move the file to a share drive that is read-only to users. This is so that if you want to look at an attachment for a changelist that is five months old, you can be sure it will still be available.
Give your plugin the ability to open the attachments on the read-only share drive from your developer's local machines, from within P4 and P4V.
Due to the buggy nature of InstallShield, it is incorrectly modifying my app.config files replacing <clear /> with <clear></clear>
After my app.config file is copied to install path, I want to run a custom action that can scan for all config files and do a standard find and replace.
I don't need code for the find and replace, what I want to know is how / where to put this custom action using Installshield?
Your best bet would be creating a deferred execution custom action and place it near the end of the execution sequence. This will guarantee it would run after the files have been installed.
In the 'Custom Actions and Sequences', Create a new custom action of the appropriate type (depending on your implementation of this replacement action). Set it's In-Script Execution to 'Deferred' and in the Sequence section have add it to the Install Exec Sequence, After ScheduleReboot.
The easiest way to modify config/ini files after deployment of files is the option of INI File Changes or Text File Changes under the System Configuration tab. You can mention the config file location and the replacement changes that you want to perform. Please refer this link.
Is it possible to run a batch file containing a lotus script? Would it also be possible to include a lotus script and then another language for example ksh's? If yes then could you please give me some samples or tutorials on how to do it?
What I need to do is this:
There is already an existing batch file which contains a ksh's that updates the value in an excel files every time it is executed.
What I need to do is include two new functions, first I need to download the excel file from a rich text in a document of lotus notes, then run the functions above written in ksh's after that
I need to re-upload it or update the excel file which is in the lotus notes document. I used lotus script for the added functionality.
I also don't know how to use or create ksh's and batch files. Thanks.
I personally would turn around the logic: why not use a scheduled LotusScript or Java- Agent, detach the file from the richtextitem and then run the ksh from there (e.g. using the Shell- Command of LotusScript)...
That way you can code the stuff you need in the languages that are best for your purpose. You could even attach the ksh to a configuration document and detach it on the fly Or build the ksh completely on the fly (with write commands)... That makes this solution replicate to any number of servers without having to distribute your ksh to each of them...
LotusScript runs only within a scripting host engine provided by IBM Lotus, but LotusScript isn't the only way to access Lotus Notes data.
You haven't said what platform you are running ksh on. You mention that you are operating on Excel files, so if you are running your scripts on Windows it may be possible for you to use the Lotus Notes COM classes. Those classes are almost exactly the same as the back-end classes that you would have available in LotusScript, but I have no idea whether any version of ksh (not to mention whatever version you are using) supports the CreateObject call or any other way to access COM classes.
However, a ksh script can certainly run Java programs, and there are Java classes for Lotus Notes that are (again) almost exactly the same as the back-end classes that you would use in LotusScript. It seems to me that the obvious thing for you to do is write a small Java program to retrieve the file from the Domino server, and another Java program to re-upload it after. Then have your script run the program to do the download, run the commands to modify the Excel data, and then run the program to do the upload.
I have a repository that has the following directories:
branches
tags
trunk
The trunk directory contains the main line of development. I have created a post-commit hook script for the repository that updates a working copy (of trunk) when a user commits back to repository.
It looks something like this:
/usr/bin/svn update /path/to/a/working/copy
I've just created a branch of the code as I'm about to start some major changes but noticed that when I commit my changes to branch it calls the post-commit hook and updates the working copy (copy of trunk).
Is there a way I can modify either my post-commit hook script or a setting that I can make that would only update the working copy if the commit was made to the trunk directory and not any other directory?
As you can see in this documentation, parameters are passed to the post-commit script.
The repository passes two arguments to this program: the path to the repository, and the new revision number that was created.
The post-commit hook could be any program of any type : a bash script, a C program, a python script...What happens is that the shell launches this program, with the two parameters.
You can find a list of interesting scripts here. A good beginning would be this python script, which uses the python svn libs.
Please note that the path provided is not the same as the path to the file that you are checking in (see Paul's answer). But using this information with the revnum should help you to get the list of the changes, from which you can determine if operations have been done on trunk or not.
In addition to the answer from Bishiboosh, it is worth noting that the hooks can be any program. That is, if you wanted to, you could write the program in C. The parameters that are passed are described in the doc.
For a good repository of scripts to get inspiration from, have a look at the subversion tools page. In general, if you want to do some conditional processing based on the contents of the transaction, and you do, since you only want to process if the files are in trunk, then it will be easiest to use Python, since that comes with a bunch of tools to examine the transactions. This script is a good place to start looking for inspiration.
Note, that the path to the parameter, is not the same as the path to the file that you are checking in. You could have multiple files in the checkin after all… What you are passed is the location of the repository, and the revision of the change. Using these two pieces of information you can get the information about the change from the repository, and use that information to decide whether to perform an action or not in the post-commit hook.
Here is another example (in Perl) That explicitly checks the path of the files in the checkin. This is a much more complicated script, but most likely the salient parts can be ripped out and re-used.
Is there anyway by which we can read a value from an .xls file using nant scripts.The nant scripts should ask the input from the user and based on the inputs the nant.build should search the .xls file and when it sees the match,it should copy the corresponding mail ID and echo that mail ID to some other file and that echoed value should be placed in the mail section of the cruise control.NET .
Please get back to me for any more clarifications
Thanks

You should write an NAnt extension. It is relatively easy to do.
See this tutorial here
As an example project see my question here and here.
I'll re-phrase my answer :
"Is there anyway by which we can read a value from an .xls file using nant scripts"
If you are talking about using the 'core' NAnt functionality, which is that funcationality that is provided within the basic installation of NAnt, then I would say "No" or "Not very easily".
You can however extend NAnt using .NET libraries to perform whatever function you want, as long as you can code that function in a .NET language.
So, for you to solve your problems, the steps you need to under-take in my view are :
(a) Write a .NET library with methods that undertake the function(s) you describe
(b) Use the 'extensibility' of NAnt to turn your library in (a) into a custom task you can then call directly from your NAnt script
Obviously, you need to be able to break your problem down so that you can code it for part (a). Once you have done that, part (b) is reasonably trivial, and the tutorial I supplied in the link should easily walk you through this.
