Problem with adding attachments after indigo update

Hi, not sure if this is the place to post or if it should go into the Indigo server section but....

After upgrading to indigo 2023.2 an email that has been sending me attachments every morning stopped sending and errors- I looked at it and it looks like when I try to attach anything I cannot save the action. I get an error - see below. Not sure what to try next as I tried creating a new action and tried several different types of attachments but it always gives me the same error. Help please

PS. I removed the email address for the screen shot but that is not causing the error in red - also nothing shows up in red....
PPS. I have other actions that work fine sending emails but they don't have attachments.

Look in the log. Might need to turn on debug logging. Also try putting quotes around the path string.

Quotes around the path string did not help.

This is the log error

I’ll have to check when I get home, but I think that’s a bug I already fixed but is waiting on an Indigo release.

OK, thanks - strange that no one else has run into this. I have tried a ton of different attachment types and tried them all from several different locations (inside and outside of the Indigo directory). Could not get any attachments to go out.’

Curious if anyone else is able to get any attachments to work.

Either way, thanks and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it will be fixed soon - I have been keeping an historical record with the charts I email myself for many years…

As I recall, that bug was triggered when the file to be attached did not exist at the time the action was created, as it was attempting to validate the file at that point. When you're editing this action, does the file to be attached actually exist? If not, try creating it then saving the action.

Also, make sure the permissions on the file (and all the folders leading to it) allow it to be read by the account Indigo is running under.

If none of that works, grab the fixed version from my repo at https://github.com/FlyingDiver/ID-Email ... Plugin.zip

Thanks, yes the files already exist and all the permissions look good - I’ll try the updated version and report back…

Link in your post does not work and I only see better email when I search your projects on GitHub

Hmm. I forgot that's a private repo. I'll see what I can do to get you a copy.

I am having issues with any attachment too using python. See below for a scripting shell example without and with attachment (Fails - RuntimeError: unable to convert python exception)

>>> plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.indigodomo.email")
>>> props = {'emailTo': ‘********@mac.com', 'emailCC': '', 'emailBCC': '' , 'emailSubject': 'Test Email', 'emailAttachments': '', 'emailFormat': 'plain','emailMessage': 'Message Content' }
>>> plugin.executeAction("sendEmail", indigo.devices["smtp.mail.me.com"].id, props=props)

The fixed plugin is waiting on the next Indigo update.

One min turn around - thx! Will turn off attachments for the moment and wait for the update.

Indigo 2023.2
Exactly the same problem as reported by norcoscia at the top of this thread.

BTW, I did not notice this because of another problem I was unable to fix until last weekend which kept the trigger from reaching the Email+ action.
