vsts detailed notification after build or test fail

I am trying to make vsts email me with a detailed transcript of why a test or build fails. At the moment all I am getting is te following email: enter image description here

All this mail tells me that a test has failed but not what test or what the problem is. It does give me a link to open the build report in web access which has all the information about the type of error and even the stacktrace.

enter image description here

Is there a way to get this detailed information (error message and stack trace) into the email or can i make vsts send a custom email with this information?

It seems you are using VSTS default notification template (as a build fails template).

For now, there is no way to custom the notification template. And there has an user voice Customise VSTS email templates which suggest this feature. You can vote and follow up.

The workarounds for now as below:

  • Option 1: Click the link "Open Build Report in Web Access" for detail build logs.

  • Option 2: Add Send Email task at the end of your build definition, and select "Only when a previous task has failed" for run this task option, so that email will be sent if the build fails. And you can custom the email body as your need.
