I want to assign alerts for my team project as followed: 1. Every build that failed will trigger an email notification for the last developer that committed a change. In additional send the same email to the code reviewer.

I only found that a failed build will sent to all team members an email or to me and I cant change the "Sent To" field (its disabled and I'm administrator user)

  1. Another issue I encountered is that when a build failed the email I get states that there is 0 errors and 0 warnings. How Come?

It's supposed to be fairly easy to configure but didnt managed to get the email right. Can someone assist here?

This is the email I get, a failed build with 0 errors, when entering the build url I can see the where the build has failed but how can I know it from the email???

You can't change the "sent to" filed, however you can choose the name of the team member from the drop down list, or type the name in the search box.

  • Choose the name of the team member from the drop down list, or type the name in the search box.

For the people who trigger the build (which one need to be reviewed), he can specify the coder reviewer and add a build fail alert, add the filter request by = [Me]

As for question 2, there is 0 errors and 0 warnings.Which build are you using? vNext or xaml? And did you mean the build actually failed with errors but it's not reflected in the email.

Update

The errors and error message should be contained in the e-mail just as below picture. enter image description here

  • Hey, I'm using vNExt build and yes, the email doesn't reflects the build errors so developers need to open the portal build output to view the errors. – chen Oct 18 '16 at 14:35
  • The errors and error message should be contained in the e-mail just as above picture. Did this occurs for all your build definitions or just that one? – PatrickLu-MSFT Oct 20 '16 at 06:33
  • Not sure if i did something or not but I can see the error now. In old failed build email I got a failed build with 0 erros – chen Nov 08 '16 at 09:24
  • Seems to be a cache issue. – PatrickLu-MSFT Nov 08 '16 at 09:31
