#4724 Pending flag src.fp.o e-mail notifications swamp my inbox
Closed: Invalid by churchyard. Opened by churchyard.

Hello. Since at least 2020-01-24 17:01 UTC I receive e-mail notification when a job is pending at src.fp.o Pull Requests. That means each time I open a PR, I get 1-3 e-mail notifications about pending jobs (simple-koji-ci, Fedora CI, @zuul).

Is this a reasonable default? How can I opt-out?

"Set up an e-mail filter to drop pending flag notifications" is a valid answer to the second question, yet I open this to reconsider the e-mails.

Thanks


Could you share one of these emails?

There is also a checkox in the project's options about notifications on PR flag.

Oh, this is it. This sounds like it should be an user option, not a project one.

I've only seen this happening with the python3 package after I have followed https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zuul-based-ci#Configure_the_repository_for_Zuul which includes Check "Notify on pull-request flag" - I suppose this sends the e-mails to @zuul and me at the same time?

@fbo Why is this option needed?

Attached.

@churchyard @pingou. Ok so I thought "Notify on pull-request flag" was a switch for all kind of notification related to PR flag included webhook. I just did the test and it seems the PR flag event is sent by webhook whatever if "Notify on pull-request flag" is checked or not.

So ""Notify on pull-request flag" is not needed to be set @churchyard. I'll update the wiki page.

OK, @pingou sorry for noise and thanks for identifying the cause.

@fbo Thanks!

No worries, I always like tickets that solve themselves like this :)
