Jenkins CI Server - Ext-Email Plugin - Jelly Script Template inserting email content from text file

[corkhead]

Hi,

Im hoping someone has had experience with this.. long shot maybe but here goes

Im using the Jenkins CI server with the ext-email plugin and already have a nice jelly script email template that gets sent to other devs detailing svn changes unit test results, code coverage etc.

I need the template to looks for a file on the build servers file system (this file contains simple html text and is produced by an application that talks to our User Story tracking software - rally) and if it exists, add the text contained within to the the email.

i have tried this:

       <u:file var="f" name="C:\Tools\Jenkins2Rally\errors.txt"/>
		 <j:if test="${f.exists()}">
		   <TD class="bg1">Exists!!!!</TD>
	         </j:if>

But i get java exceptions with the ext email plugin saying it cant parse the jelly:util namespace. so i guess that isn't compiled in with the ext email plugin?

I cant seem to find if what im trying is even possible to do

I'm thinking i might have to convert the entire template to a groovy script

Any help would be awesome!

Can't you use the environment variable creation plugin and use a bash script to read data into a new environment variable that you pass into the template?

We have had to do that for several of our builds for things like release notes etc.
