This is my automated build file (with some name alterations); it should point
you in the right direction. In our case, when the build succeeds we get a short
email pointing to simple logs, when it fails we get a huge email of a verbose
log of the build. The build runs 4 times a day, the huge(up to 16 MB) email
encourages the breaker of thee build to be a rapid fixer of the build :-)

Subject: [Nant-users] How do you mail the build log on failure?
I would like to set up a nightly build/test file which will email out the
build log if the build fails, but I keep getting this message below, which
looks to me as though the build log file is locked, so nant cannot read in
the file while it is writing it at the same time. How do other people mail
out the build log when their build breaks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
build_failed:
[mail] File 'C:\dherbst\src\Build\nightly.txt' NOT added to
message body. File does not exist or cannot be accessed.

BUILD FAILED
C:\dherbst\src\Build\nightly.build(639,7):
External Program Failed: C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\vbc.exe
(ret
urn code was 1)
Total time: 32 seconds.
I have a windows task set up to do our build and test runs at 4am, it runs
the nightly.bat script below:
echo Starting the nightly build
echo .
del nightly.txt
echo .
C:\dherbst\bin\nant\bin\NAnt.exe -logfile:nightly.txt
In the nightly.build script I have the following:
<!-- Set the onFailure property so you get the emails out for the nightly
build -->
<property name="nant.onfailure" value="build_failed" />
And the failure target:
<!-- Failure target to send a mail that the build failed -->
<target name="build_failed" >
<mail if="${SendMailResults}"
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
tolist="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
mailhost="mail"
message="You ... have ... f a i l e d.
The nightly build has failed. Sorry. Thank you for playing.
