send email about status of the build
Hello community,
I'm a newbie to Ant. I tried to search for this solution but couldn't find.
I want to send emails with the status of the build and with logs if
there are errors. I'm able to send email and also the build process
works but I'm not able to figure out how to write the error logs in a
file from the ant script. Is there any task that can interpret the log
file or do I have to define a custom task? I guess this should be a
very common problem ...so what's the recommended practice. Thanks in
advance.
I know I can use some thing like below to figure out if certain file
is present or not:
<condition property="foundErrors">
<available file="errorFile">
</condition>
Please help.

See the book Extreme Programming with Ant, from Sams Publishing
The subject is adequately covered there.

Hello,
In general you can send emails from Ant using <mail>
task. However, it is not useful for emailing the
status of the build, because the build may fail and
stop before reaching the target with <mail> task, i.e.
in case of failure you will not receive an email.

I am aware of the following general ways:
- start ant with -logfile option like
ant mytarget -l mylogfile.log
- use <record> task [2]. It is a flexible way to log
only a portion of the build script
- use pipes like
ant mytarget > mylogfile.log

The recommended practice for mailing the build output
is using MailLogger [3]. It is used like
ant -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.MailLogger
For the whole concepts of Ant loggers and listeners
see [4].

You can use the <record> task to capture output to a file.
For a more complete build status/notification system you should look into CruiseControl rather than trying to add on the email/logging features to a build script.
Enjoy,
Ninju
