Emails with attachments are not send

[FransdeJong]

Emails are not send if you add the attachments with the send email workflow.

To reproduce:

• add a form with a upload
• add a send email workflow
• set attachment to true

If you set attachment to false it sends the emails.

Testen on Umbraco 8.11.1 and forms 8.6.0

Can I ask please if you using a custom media provider @FransdeJong? I.e. storing your media in Azure blob storage or similar rather than in the /media/ folder on disk?

If so, think this may be a duplicate of #477.

[FransdeJong]

Nope, pure umbraco cloud.

[AndyButland]

OK, thanks, in which case I think that under that hood that will be using an Azure blob storage provider (suggested by documentation here), So believe this should be resolved by the fix to #477.

[FransdeJong]

Great.
Any idea on when that will be released? This month, next month?

[AndyButland]

I don't, no, but I'll ping @nul800sebastiaan as he may be able to update (and if he and/or you agree, can close this ticket as a duplicate).

[nul800sebastiaan]

I was thinking the same thing and while forms writes to the media folder, it doesn't by default participate in the blob storage provider as far as I know. A test on U8.11.1 / F8.6.0 turns out to give me a perfectly fine email with attachment, so something else must be going on. Anything in the logs @FransdeJong?

And here's a screenshot of my email with attachment

Also, any specific file type that's being uploaded? Maybe a virus scanner is killing the uploads?

[FransdeJong]

@nul800sebastiaan
Thanks for testing!
It looks like you used the "send email with template" workflow?
I'm using the "send email" workflow. Can you please test that workflow to?

[nul800sebastiaan]

@FransdeJong Ah.. yes that one is broken. And that looks related to the fix Andy is referring to, I'll test that fix as well.

[nul800sebastiaan]

Had a look: that's exactly what was already fixed as Andy said.

I ran a temp build and the two attached dlls are what you can use right now until a new version of Forms is out (I don't have a date yet, but hope it will be soon): Forms861pre.zip

I'll close this as a duplicate of #477!

[FransdeJong]

Great!
Than I have one question left.
I know you can't tell me the exact date but when do you expect a release? One, two, three months?

[nul800sebastiaan]

No no, more like next week or the week after 😅

I'm just in the process of figuring out what we put in an 8.6.1 patch release and then we'll ship it asap! I think only this one plus an examine indexing bug is what we need for a patch. Then there's some stuff ready for 8.7 but that will be a bit later.
