1186207 - Nice tool to have would be a service that notifies either email,irc,etc when jobs fail or other statuses

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: UI, enhancement)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

A nice feature of TravisCI that we miss once we migrated was the ability to send failure/success notifications to a communication media such as email and/or irc. You can add the configuration directly into the .travis.yml file. We did not need to manually poll sites for failures and instead saw a message as the failure occurred.

Is there a similar TaskCluster tool already available to do this or does one need to be written from scratch?

Thanks

There is a reasonably well defined outline for a service to do this bug 1088238.
I don't think anybody is looking at implementing it, but it should be a small quick heroku app,
maybe a 1-3 days to do...

Well, this took longer than 1-3 days, but it's done now. Documented for now at http://imbstack.com/2016/09/09/taskcluster-notify.html

You'll need proper scopes, etc. I'm happy to help however you need. This definitely works with tc-gh things for now. We're working on adding it in-tree.
