I found a partial solution from issue #144 where you explain how to subscribe to releases -- same mechanism can be used to subscribe to failed builds.

However:

• automatically e-mailing the person triggering a build failure, and
• e-mailing the person pushing a commit fixing the build

might be a New Feature request?

I don't necessarily want to be notified of all the build failures, but I want each of the developers to be notified for any commit they push that breaks the build.

In the job definition, add post build action of type send notification in more settings. There are various conditions and receivers to address such issues.

@robin Ah thank you. I would have expected to find this in the global, project and/or user settings instead, but this should do the trick.

Is there currently a mechanism to automatically send an e-mail notification of build failure to the person who triggered the failing build (whether by pushing a commit or by clicking a build button)? As well as a notification for pushing a commit that fixed the build.

I could not find any option for it if there is, but this is an essential CI/CD feature that most would want.

We would also want IRC notifications once those work (issue #972).

e-mail is configured and the test e-mail works fine.

Hello, please could you add to the issue #972 instead of quoting it elsewhere, otherwise I might miss the requests which are being made!
