Send Mail Scrip problems

Andy_Smith1 · March 15, 2009, 11:53pm

Hi,

I am trying to use the example here:

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/SendEmailAction

to send emails based on custom conditions. I have this working using
hard coded destination mail addresses but when I try and use the
section in the template as described in the wiki:

$GroupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup(‘Group Name’);
$GroupObj->MemberEmailAddressesAsString()}

it doesn’t work for me, I see this error in the system messages file:

Mar 16 00:01:52 alpha RT: RT::Users=HASH(0x16b0a97c) was created
without a CurrentUser. Any RT object which is subclass of RT::Base
must be created with a RT::CurrentUser or a RT::User object as the
first argument. (/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/RT/Base.pm:108)

Can anyone help? What is going wrong? This is on RT 3.8.2,

thanks for any help, Andy.

It does work if I use this code:

$GroupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup(‘Group Name’);
$GroupObj->MemberEmailAddressesAsString()}

But I don’t understand the difference, is using $RT::SystemUser going
to do anything bad? If this is ok and there is some problem with the
code as is on the wiki should I update the data on the wiki?

thanks for any help, Andy.

Andy,

Did you remember to insert a "blank" line after the "to:" line. When

you replace “Subject:”, “From:”, or “to:” (header replacement line) you
MUST insert a blank line between them and the body of your template.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ken,

thanks for replying. Actually I seem to have found a way to get it
working but without really understanding what I have done :P. Please
see my second post with the issue described slightly more clearly (I
think).

http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-users/2009-March/058001.html

If you have any ideas what I have done any why it works with the later
config it would be great to know!

Thanks Andy.

Maybe the $user that you use to initialize the Group Object variable is not initialized properly.
I always use $RT::SystemUser instead of the CurrentUser to initialize such variables, but until now I havent really thought about it being ‘bad’.

Any thoughts about this?
