how do i configure Hudson Findbugs plugin to send a notification mail if a new failure is detected?
thx
That's what the description for the plugin states as features:
Failure threshold to mark a build as unstable
Configurable project health support
The first one won't help you. The second one might give you a chance to fail the build when new failures are detected.
This plug-in is developed and
maintained by Ullrich Hafner. Please
use the Hudson mailing lists or issue
tracker to ask questions, create
feature request or bug reports, since
I don't read the comment section on
this page regularly.
Since this a very special question, you might be better of using the mailing list. If enough people ask, he might update the plugin documentation.

We have a web application that occasionally receives web request that we detect as attempts to inject SQL code, from Google virtual servers (Compute Engine).
I was asked to find a way to identify who is responsible for said machines, so that we can take the corresponding legal actions on our part, or at least, confirm that Google shut down those servers.
What I need is to find a way to communicate with Google, by email or chat, but I haven't found information about it.
EDIT 1:
I have tried to communicate with Google to indicate the information I am looking for, but the only contact available in my case is with the billing department, which could not confirm that they will give me that information if I buy a technical assistance package. On the other hand, I understand that this package is to review requirements of the applications that you own, but in my case I am looking for legal information.
What was recommended to me was to enter the corresponding application in
https://support.google.com/code/contact/cloud_platform_report?hl=en
but I have not received a response for weeks.
I am disappointed in Google, especially because of the importance of computer security.
I will keep searching information.
You can find all information concerning Tech support, phone support and Chat support in your Google Cloud console. Also, this doc shows different supports based on your support role or package.
I am building a school application that will connect parents to teachers, i am using Ionic 3 and Laravel 5.6.
And i want to be able to send a notification to all parents, when for instance a teacher gives an assignment, when the teacher enters the assignment question and click on the send button, the question is save to the database, after then a notification should be sent to the mobile devices of all parents who's children are taking that subject.
I have done a lot of research on how to do this, on the Cordova Push Notification Plugin and Cordova Local Notification. I have followed a video tutorial that implements Firebase and Push Notification, and also One Signal and Push Notification. But i was still unable to achieve what i wanted.
If they are anymore materials out there, that could help me achieve this, I will be so grateful to have someone share it with me, or if anyone can help me out with is, I will be very happy.
These are the other materials I found:
The PHP Package repository
Laravel Notification Channels
Quora
Please let your users know that using OneSignal's "free" service would allow the company to get users data and sell it to others.
Google's Firebase cloud messaging service is reliable but comes with a cost if you want many connections. See Firebase Pricing Plans.
I personally used fcm. It was not really a breeze implementing it on my thesis but it worked nicely. No need to make the app listen on background for incoming notifications then create a local notification, me not selling my users data, and not paying anything on the use of firebase's services. I used the free 300 dollars gift from google cloud to shoulder the expenses from the firebase spark plan.(free for 12 months)
A warning if you use the cordova plugins of fcm: If you have a cordova plugin that uses google's services it may come in conflict with the fcm plugins you listed above due to different versions used. It may need manual editing on the src plugins.
If you decide on using fcm, this link might help you.
The basic steps you have to do after you set up the needed environment is to
Get FCM token on platform.ready async.
Save it to firebase under the said user
Create a cloud function that will send notifications
Could anyone explain how Chrome Extension upgrading works?
Let's say I publish version 0.0.1. After a while I've some updates and I publish 0.0.2. Will all users having 0.0.1 be auto-upgraded to 0.0.2? If not, what is the process to sending/updating Chrome Extensions?
Thanks!
After a while I've some updates and I publish 0.0.2. Will all users having 0.0.1 be auto-upgraded to 0.0.2?
Yes. By default, if you publish (not just submit a draft, actually publish and wait for the automated review process to complete) a new version then all users will get it.
..eventually.
Chrome does not get push notifications about extension updates; it instead polls the Web Store for version information once every few hours.
While it would be possible for Google to make this push-based, I think this remains in place as a natural load-balancer (not everyone trying to update at once) and a bit of a safety net in case you published something badly broken.
On the extension side, there are 2 things in the chrome.runtime API that can influence the process.
You can force a check for a new version with chrome.runtime.requestUpdateCheck(). Note that this is rate-limited - you can't check too often.
In principle you could use some other method of delivering a notification to your extension (GCM, WebSockets to your server, polling your server etc.) to discover an update and trigger this check.
You can delay an update after it was detected with a listener to chrome.runtime.onUpdateAvailable event. It can be delayed no longer than the next browser restart.
If your extension has a lot of users (this starts at 10k users), there's an additional option available in the Dashboard's edit item interface.
Is it possible to perform a partial roll out in the Chrome web store?
CWS offers an option to only offer this version to a developer-specified percentage of users. This way you can limit the damage from a bad update.
I'm planning to build an application that runs on WEB(AngularJS), Android(Native), IOS(Native).
I have experience with MongoDB, but I found CouchBase which sounds really good for me.
I read documentation and I found out I need to use sync_gatway to sync my mobile databases with main database server and reverse, until now everything is fine.
I also need to use "channels" to share records with multiple users.
The problem comes when I need to implement this for web application.
In their documentation on "Working with web applications" they explain how "bucket shadowing" is working, but they also say:
Bucket shadowing is meant to enable sync for existing Couchbase Server
apps. If you are creating a new app with both mobile and web clients,
we recommend starting with the Sync Gateway REST APIs, and connecting
backend services using the Changes Worker Pattern.
After reading Sync Gateway REST API I found out I'm limited to facebook and persona authentication. So I can't use my own authentication mechanism?
Also, there is nothing specified in REST API about channels?
Is there any example project or more documentation about this? I couldn't find anything :(
If someone has experience with this, please explain how this works.
Thanks
There is also Custom (Indirect) Authentication available on Sync Gateway, which you can use for any type of auth you need.
But you have to hide Sync Gateway's Admin API under your backend layer.
As for the channels: it is responsibility of Sync Function to route different documents to necessary channels based on Document data.
Here is a good video that describes how to build production architecture around Couchbase Lite.
I'm probably late for the party - but as of today I'd recommend taking a look in the PouchDB project for the WEB AngularJS side - they match pretty well and will sync with Couchbase.
Regarding authentication, I just released an article on that topic, find it here. Hope this helps somebody
Google has open-sourced the auto update mechanism used in Google Chrome as Omaha.
It seems quite complicated and difficult to configure for anybody who isn't Google. What is the experience using Omaha in projects? Can it be recommended?
We use Omaha for our products. Initially there was quite a bit of work to change hardcoded URLs and strings. We also had to implement the server ourselves, because there was not yet an open source implementation. Today, I would use omaha-server.
There are no regrets with ditching our old client update solution and going with Omaha.
Perhaps, you can leverage the courgette algorithm, which is the update mechanism that is used in Google Chrome. It is really easy to use and apply to your infrastructure. Currently, it just works for Windows operating systems. Windows users of Chrome receive updates in small chunks, unlike Mac and Linux users who still receive the chunks in total size.
You can find the source code here in the Chromium SVN repository. It is a compression algorithm to apply small updates to Google Chrome instead of sending the whole distribution all the time. Rather than push the whole 10 MB to the user, you can push just the diff of the changes.
More information on how Courgette works can be found here and the official blog post about it here.
It works like this:
server:
hint = make_hint(original, update)
guess = make_guess(original, hint)
diff = bsdiff(concat(original, guess), update)
transmit hint, diff
client
receive hint, diff
guess = make_guess(original, hint)
update = bspatch(concat(original, guess), diff)
When you check out the source, you can compile it as an executable (right click compile in Visual Studio) and you can use the application in that form for testing:
Usage:
courgette -dis <executable_file> <binary_assembly_file>
courgette -asm <binary_assembly_file> <executable_file>
courgette -disadj <executable_file> <reference> <binary_assembly_file>
courgette -gen <v1> <v2> <patch>
courgette -apply <v1> <patch> <v2>
Or, you can include that within your application and do the updates from there. You can imitate the Omaha auto update environment by creating your own service that you periodically check and run Courgette.
I've been using Omaha in various projects since 2016. The projects had between a handful and millions of update clients. Target operating systems were mostly Windows, but also some Linux devices and (via Sparkle) macOS.
Omaha is difficult to set up because it requires you to edit Google's C++ implementation. You also need a corresponding server. The standard implementation is omaha-server and does not come from Google. However, in return it also supports Sparkle for automatic updates on Mac (hence why I mentioned Sparkle above).
While setting up the above components is difficult, once they are configured they are work extremely well. This is perhaps not surprising given that Google use Omaha to update millions (billions?) of devices.
To help others get started with Omaha, I wrote a tutorial that gives a quick overview of how it works.
UPDATE
Customizing google omaha isn't that easy espacialy if you have no knowledge about c++, python or com.
Updates aren't published that frequently
crystalnix/omaha is managed by the community and they try to merge the main repo into their's; additional features are implemented and basic things are fixed
google/omaha is more active and changes from google are added but not frequently
To implement manual updates in any language you can use the com classes
Resume
google omaha is still alive but in a lazy way
bugs are fixed but do not expect hotfixes
google omaha fits for windows client apps supported from windows vista and upwards
the server side I'm using supports also sparkle for crossplatform support
feedbacks and crashes are also supported on the server
feedbacks are sent with the google protocol buffers
crash handling is done with breakpad
I personaly would go for google omaha instead of implementing my own solution. However we will discuss this internal.
In the .NET world you might want to take a look at ClickOnce deployment.
An auto-update mechanism is something I'd personally code myself, and always have in the past. Unless you have a multi-gigabyte application and want to upload bits and pieces only, just rely on your own code/installer. That said, I've not looked at Google's open source library at all.. and didn't even know it existed. I can't imagine it offering anything superior to what you could code yourself, and with your own code you aren't bound by any licensing restrictions.
