[Dart] Email on Test Failure

[Miller, James V (GE, Research)]

Alex,

I have thought about an email on test failure feature (and nearly 
implemented it when the I implemented the email on build failure).

The question is how to know who to contact when a test fails.  If you
are starting from a green dashboard, then you can link test failures
to commits fairly reliably.  However, many of our dashboards are rarely
completely green.  We usually have one or two lingering failures (out of 
1000 tests).

One option is that I could implement test failure like I implemented 
build failure and we simply would not use that feature on some of our
larger dashboards.

Jim

Hi,

I really like the (relatively recent) feature of emailing people when build 
errors are introduced.  We run a continuous build, so I know within a few 
minutes if I break something.

As a consequence, I don't actually look at the dashboard all that often.  
Since it doesn't send an email when a test failure is introduced, I can miss 
this occurrence and not pick it up for days or even weeks.

Is email-on-test-failure planned as a feature?


Thanks,

Alex
