Stopped receiving emails

[Adam Cigánek]

Hi there,

One day Cerberus suddenly stopped sending emails. It seems the builds
are still taking place, just no notification is sent. I found this in
the ~/.cerberus/errors.log file:

I don't know what caused this. It probably started after some gem
update, but not sure. Anyone has any clue?

[Craig Jolicoeur]

Interesting.

I wonder if its an issue with the new 2.3.3 version of ActionMailer.
I'm only running 2.3.2 here on my dev machine and haven't tested with
2.3.3 yet.

Can you do a few things? First remove the 2.3.3 version and try with
the 2.3.2 version and see if that "fixes" it. If so I know that is
the issue and can get a fix in. If not, can you tell me what version
of the cerberus gem you are running.

Also, could you copy and paste your config.yml file and your
project.yml config files. (Blank out the passwords of course).

Thanks

- Craig

Hey, thanks for a quick answer! I uninstalled actionmailer 2.3.3, but
I'm still getting no emails. However, it could be because the build
was successful, and the previous one also. Is there a way how to force
the message sending, even if the build is successful?

Yes,

just pass the "--force" option to the build command

cerberus buildall --force

[Adam Cigánek]

Hi,

The --force option does not work. It causes the rebuild, but if it is
successful (and the previous one was also successful), the message is
still not send. However, I created a deliberate test failure and run
the build and then the message was finally delivered! So you were
right, the problem is with the new actionmailer.

By the way, I'm using cerberus 0.6, which I believe is the latest.

Thanks for your help!

Ok, sounds good.

I'll look into the issue with the new version of actionmailer.

Thanks for the help with this and sorry for the problems you had.

Adam,

I think I know what the problem is with the new actionmailer library
but I just want to confirm.

Can you send me your cerberus config settings for the mail publisher
(again, I dont need your password). I just want to see exactly what
your config options look like to verify that I have found the problem.

Thanks

- Craig

[Adam Cigánek]

Hey Craig,

Sure, this is my ~/.cerberus/config.yml

publisher:
active: mail
mail:
address: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
domain: 3scale.net
authentication: plain
user_name: ****
password: ****

And this is the project config:

publisher:
mail:
recipients: [****, ****, ****]
scm:
url: g...@github.com:3scale/system.git
type: git
builder:
type: rake
rake:
task: integrate

Hope it helps.

Adam,

Your recipients array is really what I"m most interested in.

Which format are your entries in?

[ "User 1 <us...@foo.com>", "User 2 <us...@foo.com>" ]

or

[ "us...@foo.com", "us...@foo.com" ]

- Craig

[Adam Cigánek]

Ah, sorry :)

It's just email addresses:

["us...@foo.com", "us...@foo.com", ... ]
