Sending emails with the error log through CruiseControl - cruisecontrol.net

How do you configure cruiseControl to send out emails that contains the error log whenever a build fails? I've gotten it to send out emails to users when the build fails, but it does not include the actual error that caused the build to fail. I know that if I only configure it to send out emails to the users that have made modifications, the error log is included in those emails. This is a sample of what I have:
< publishers>
< rss/>
< xmllogger/>
< email from="abc#abc.com" mailhost="abc.abc.com" includeDetails="TRUE">
< users>
< user name="Joe" group="devs" address="joe#abc.com"/>
< user name="Jim" group="devs" address="jim#abc.com"/>
< /users>
< groups>
< group name="devs" notification="Failed"/>
< /groups>
< /email>
< /publishers>

You can check if \cruisecontrol.net\server\xsl\compile.xsl is the same as \cruisecontrol.net\webdashboard\xsl\compile.xsl.
Compile.xsl is the default file used to print the error messages from your error log. The one in \webdashboard\ is used for the web dashboard (as the name implies) and the one under \server\ is used for emails.
You can also check ccnet.exe.config whether or not \cruisecontrol.net\server\xsl\compile.xsl is used for emails.
Mine's for example points to compile.xsl on \server:
<!-- Specifies the stylesheets that are used to transform the build results when using the EmailPublisher -->
<xslFiles>
<file name="xsl\header.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\compile.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\unittests.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\fit.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\modifications.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\fxcop-summary.xsl" />
</xslFiles>

Your email publisher will take the buildlog.xml and transorm it against whatever XSL's are configured either in your console or service config depending on which you use. There should be no difference in the content of the email though no matter on who you have it configured to be sent to and when. As long as you have the merge before the email publiseher and the email in the publishers section. I don't see how it could be different Are you sure the same failure produces different emails? My guess would be you are failing somewhere bad and the build log is not being genereted one way.

The build log is getting generated. I can see the error. It's just not included in the email.

aggregator release strategy depend on another service activator running

I understand how aggregating based on size works but I also want to make the release strategy depend on another step in the pipeline to be still running. The idea is that i move files to a certain dir "source", aggregate enough files and then move from "source" to "stage" and then process the staged files. While this process is running I dont want to put more files in stage but I do want to continue to add more files to source folder (that part is handled by using a dispatcher channel connected with file inbound adapter before the aggregator)
<int:aggregator id="filesBuffered"
input-channel="sourceFilesProcessed"
output-channel="stagedFiles"
release-strategy-expression="size() == 10"
correlation-strategy-expression="'mes-group'"
expire-groups-upon-completion="true"
/>
<int:channel id="stagedFiles" />
<int:service-activator input-channel="stagedFiles"
output-channel="readyForMes"
ref="moveToStage"
method="move" />
so as you can see I dont want to release the aggregated messages if an existing instance of moveToStage service activator is running.
I thought about making the stagedFiles channel a queue channel but that doesnt seems right because I do want the files to be passed to moveToStage as a Collection not a single file which I am assuming by making stagedFiles a queue channel it will send a single file. Instead I want to get to a threshold e.g. 10 files, pass those to stagedFiles which allows the moveToStage to process those files but then until this step is done I want the aggregator to continue to aggregate files and then release all aggregated files.
Thanks
I suggest you to have some flag as a AtomicBoolean bean and use it from your moveToStage#move and check it's state from:
release-strategy-expression="size() >= 10 and #stagingFlag.get()"

Spring Integration to Iterate through a list of files or records

I am using spring integration to download files and to process them.
<int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter channel="FileDownloadChannel"
session-factory="SftpSessionFactory"
remote-directory="/home/sshaji/from_disney/files"
filter = "modifiedFileListFilter"
local-directory="/home/sshaji/to_disney/downloads"
auto-create-local-directory="true" >
<integration:poller cron="*/10 * * * * *" default="true"/>
</int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter>
<integration:transformer input-channel="FileDownloadChannel"
ref="ErrorTransformer"
output-channel="EndChannel"/>
<integration:router input-channel="FileErrorProcessingChannel"
expression="payload.getErrorCode() > 0">
<integration:mapping value="true" channel="ReportErrorChannel"/>
<integration:mapping value="false" channel="FilesBackupChannel"/>
</integration:router>
The int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter is used to download files from sftp server.
It downloads about 6 files. all xml files.
The transformer iterates all the 6 files and check whether they have an error tag.
If there is an error tag then it will set its errorcode as 1. else it will be set a 0.
When it comes out of the transformer and goes to the router,
i want to send the files whose errorcode is set to 1 to move to a specific folder (Error)
and those which has errorcode set to 0 to move to another folder (NoError).
Currently the transformer returns a " list fileNames " which contains the errorcode and fileNames of all the 6 files.
How can i check the error code for each file using the router? and then map that particular file to a router.
Common C Logic for my problem
for (int i =0; i<fileNames.lenght();i++) {
if(fileNames[i].getErrorCode == 1) {
moveToErrorFolder(fileNames[i].getName());
} else {
moveToNoErrors(fileNames[i].getName());
}
}
How can i achieve this using spring integration?.
If its not possible, is there any workaround for it?.
I hope now its clear. I am sorry for not providing enough details last time.
Also in the int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter i have hard coded the "remote-directory" and "local-directory" fields to a specific folder in the system. can i refer these from a bean property or from a constant value?.
I need to configure these values based on config.xml file, is that possible?.
I am new to Spring Integration. Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
It's still not clear to me what you mean by "The transformer iterates all the 6 files".
Each file will be passed to the transformer in a single message, so I don't see how it can emit a list of 6.
It sounds like you need an <aggregator/> with a correlation-strategy-expression="'foo'" and release-strategy-expression="size() == 6". This would aggregate each single File into a list of File and pass it to your transformer. It then transforms it to a list of your status objects containing the filename and error code.
Finally, you would add a <splitter/> which would split the list into separate FileName messages to send to the router.
You can use normal Spring property placeholders for the directory attributes ${some.property} or SpEL to use a property of another bean #{someBean.remoteDir}.

Nlog: send mail when Loglevel >= Loglevel.Error with last x messages

I'd like to do this (from log4net docu) with nlog:
This example shows how to deliver only significant events. A LevelEvaluator is specified with a threshold of WARN. This means that an email will be sent for each WARN or higher level message that is logged. Each email will also contain up to 512 (BufferSize) previous messages of any level to provide context. Messages not sent will be discarded.
Is it possible?
I only found this on codeproject.
But it uses a wrapper target that flushes in behalf of the number of messages, not on the log level.
Thanks
Tobi
There is a QueuedTargetWrapper ( a target that buffers log events and sends them in batches to the wrapped target)
that seems address the requirement. I haven't tried it yet.
There is a related discussion "The Benefits of Trace Level Logging in Production Without the Drawback of Enormous Files"
Simple solution that will write last 200 log-events on error:
<target name="String" xsi:type="AutoFlushWrapper" condition="level >= LogLevel.Error" flushOnConditionOnly="true">
<target xsi:type="BufferingWrapper"
bufferSize="200"
overflowAction="Discard">
<target xsi:type="wrappedTargetType" ...target properties... />
</target>
</target>

cc.net: set subject email publisher from trigger name

folks!
I have project in cc.net and this project nay start by 3 ways
Forced (when user click button "force" in web
By project trigger
By sheduler trigger
After build server send mail to stackholders.
And now, i want to add trigger name to mail subject. e.g.
force_Project name ...buikd result
I have tried use variables:
<projectTrigger project="Someproject">
<triggerStatus>Success</triggerStatus>
<variable name="Trigger" value="commit" />
</projectTrigger>
and
<subjectSettings>
<subject buildResult="Broken" value="{Trigger} is broken" />
<subject buildResult="StillBroken" value="{Trigger} is still broken" />
</subjectSettings>
but this way doesnt have positive result.
What kind of way able help me?
You can use the fileLabeller of ccnet.
<tasks>
build tasks...
<fileLabeller>
<labelFilePath>c:\buildstuff\mybuild-label.txt</labelFilePath>
<allowDuplicateSubsequentLabels>false</allowDuplicateSubsequentLabels>
</fileLabeller>
</tasks>
Setup your build task to write to the contents of mybuild-label.txt. I write something like this.
[repo1 rev: 99, repo2 rev: 9999]
This will become part of the subject.

WSO2 - Using get-property() function in Property/Xquery Mediators

Our current service has 7 operations. when writing an outbound xquery "local entry" in wso2, we're trying to retrieve the name of the current operation being executed (how can this be so difficult?).
After reading what i could find in wso2's documentation. it appears as if we need to set up both a Property and an Xquery mediator. supposedly the property mediator would pull the value doing something like get-property('OperationName') and then this would be referenced and passed thru the Xquery mediator.
The other idea was that we needed to define it as a variable in the "Local Registry entry definitions" and than it would be around at all parts of the sequence.
I've tried for 2 days but haven't quite got it.
Please tell me what I'm missing...
Did you try the following xquery sample[1]? I modified the query mediator to get the operation name as follows.
<variable xmlns:ax21="http://services.samples/xsd" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples" name="code" expression="get-property('OperationName')" type="STRING" />
this worked fine. I could see the getQuote in the response message.
