             Summary: Send emails to builds@ when job ends with state "ABORTED"
                 Key: BEAM-8422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8422
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: testing
            Reporter: Lukasz Gajowy


I noticed that timeouting jobs end up in an ABORTED state (black dot on the Jenkins dashboard). No email is sent to the builds@ list when this happens. It reduces the visibility of a problem - if one relies on builds@ they won't see that Jenkins job takes too much time.
 
At the time of writing, 5 jobs are affected:
beam_PostCommit_Java11_ValidatesRunner_Dataflow_PR
beam_PostCommit_Java11_ValidatesRunner_PortabilityApi_Dataflow
beam_PostCommit_Java_PVR_Spark_Batch
beam_PostCommit_Python37_PR
beam_sonarqube_report
 
I propose changing this behavior and send emails to builds@ when job ends with ABORTED state.

The drawback of this solution is that every time someone aborts the job manually the email will be sent too -  there's no way to distinguish those two situations. However, IMO we should not allow timeouts to be unnoticed and manual job aborting does not happen very often (even committers cannot do that now in Jenkins).
