In 2013 XAML Builds, email notifications about failed builds used to have a nice overview of the errors occurred in the Summary. For example, when there was a compilation error in one file, this file and the error were displayed.
In 2015 Update 1, there were only red "():" in place of the errors and since Update 2 they are lacking completely, saying 0 Errors in the Build summary but "Build failed" in the subject.
If you open the builds in Web Access the errors are displayed as they should.
Is there any way to restore the Build Error Messages?
I could reproduce your issue on my side. Email alerts can generate the error messages for XAML build, but only shows 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
for a fail vNext build:
As we can't modify email alerts' content. You need to submit a feedback at website http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio.
