Make GitHub notify when an eval error has occoured? about ofborg

You do get a red X in the https://github.com/pulls view when CI fails. Sending messages every time eval fails would cause a storm everytime master fails eval.

Correct, but I don't think it is bad. Eval errors on master happen rarely, and when they do, I think it wouldn't hurt to notify many people about it, as it is a severe mistake. Also, even if the error is not due to merges you personally performed, it will also give you the hint to comment @ofborg eval to retrigger evaluation after the eval error is fixed.

Doesn't this work?

@pbsds this seems worth checking, but I don't understand how did you get to that interface? I also wonder, why is EditorConfig's workflow notifying me upon emails and ofborg doesn't? The interface you screenshot doesn't look like it has different settings for the above 2 workflows...

It may be because the editor config checks run in a github action runner, while the ofborg CI checkmarks are set using some other API by the ofborg runners.
