Environment :

Jenkins Version 2.414.3  
Slack Notification Plugin Version 684.v833089650554  
Test Results Analyzer Plugin Version 0.4.0

Windows Server 2019 Bld 1809

Our Windows Jenkins system has been working fine for over a year with the Slack Notifications - sending around 10 - 12 messages to 2 different channels.

After updates in Late October, the notifications using Python Scripts with Test Results Analyzer Plugin are duplicated with the current build number (correct) then a duplicate notification of an older build (build no longer in the system - retention of 15 builds).

Note : If I run a job manually - the duplication does not happen. The above Python jobs are on a chron jobs for daily runs.

This notification duplication does NOT happen when jobs from the Robot Framework plugin are run.

Expected Results:

Expecting to see a single Slack Notification per job run

Actual Results:

Double notifications for Python jobs using Test Results Analyzer Plugin and Chron settings.

Welcome back @stevereiss ,

This could be due to a number of reasons, such as:

- A bug in the [Slack Notification Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/slack/) or the [Test Results Analyzer](https://plugins.jenkins.io/test-results-analyzer/) Plugin.
- A misconfiguration in your Jenkins job or in the cron settings.
- An issue with the interaction between the Slack Notification Plugin and the Test Results Analyzer Plugin.

Here are some steps you could maybe take to troubleshoot this issue:

- Check the Jenkins job configuration: Ensure the job is not configured to send multiple notifications. Also, check the cron settings to ensure the job is not triggered multiple times.
- Check the plugin configurations: Review the configurations of the Slack Notification Plugin and the Test Results Analyzer Plugin. Make sure they are set up correctly and are not causing duplicate notifications.
- Update the plugins: If the plugins are not up-to-date, consider updating them to the latest version. This might fix the issue if a bug in the plugins causes it.
- Check the Jenkins system logs: The Jenkins system logs might contain useful information about the issue.
- Contact the plugin maintainers: If the issue persists, ~~consider reaching out to the maintainers of the Slack Notification Plugin~~ and the [Test Results Analyzer Plugin](https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-71757?jql=resolution%20is%20EMPTY%20and%20component%3D19327). They might be able to provide more specific guidance or fix the issue if it’s a bug in the plugins.  
Ok, you’ve already done so for the Slack plugin: [Slack Notifications are Duplicated on Channel · Issue #934 · jenkinsci/slack-plugin · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/slack-plugin/issues/934)
