[Peter Johnson]

This should help: http://doc.fortysix.ch/maven/maven-postman-plugin/surefire-mail-mojo.html

[linda russel]

why am not recieving any emails??

[Peter Johnson]

Your configuration seems correct (at least according to http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287)

Does running with -X provide any clues? Have you tried the same settings in another app?

As an aside, I wouldn't send email from Maven itself. I'd have Jenkins fire off the build and send an email after it was completed. That way only official builds would result in email notifications. Or just let interested parties subscribe to the RSS feed for the job in Jenkins. Or they could subscribe to the RSS feeds in Nexus (which is where we deploy our artifacts).

[linda russel]

I ran mvn test command from the command line.

one more thing is that i am still not sure that from which location the Test reports will be fetched if at all it is fetched in the first place!!!

Do i need to run any other command in order to get the email of test reports.

is the port number correct for the emai??

[James Boswell]

Linda

You have defined your plugin to run under the 'deploy' phase. However, you are only running up to 'test' so no attempt to send the email is made.

Try mvn clean deploy instead.

[linda russel]

[ERROR] Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:995: C
ould not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 995, response: -1 -> [Help
1]

i changed the phase to site and it downloaded some required plugins but i get the error as above

[Peter Johnson]

Did you try running with -X to see if that provides additional details on the error. Looks like there is something wrong with the configuration.

[linda russel]

is it like mvn -X site from command line?

[Peter Johnson]

Not "mvn -X site", rather "mvn -X deploy" because you have email configured to run during deploy.

[linda russel]

Thanks for your reply.

I will surely test with the above command

[linda russel]

Finally i got a email but i got it only when i used GMAIL . but when i tried with my company email it failed.


I tried to ping smtp.mycompany.com but i got the error as below

Ping request could not find host smtp.mycompany.com. Please check the name and
try again.

[Peter Johnson]

You will have to contact your IT department to find out the proper settings for connecting to the corporate email system. I have the same issue with the Exchange server in my company - I cannot programmatically access the same Exchange server that I access via Outlook. Instead, there is different server that was set up to handle programmatic connections, and I have to target that one.

[linda russel]

Thanks :-)
