Bug description

Hello Devs.

After updating to 30.0.0 sharing files via email does not work as it is supposed to I guess. There is no mail being sent to the sharee. So the one I try to share the files with is not getting notified. Nothing in the logs.
Email in general works. Invitations for talk go out.

Steps to reproduce

Share file via Email
Save
No email to the sharee

Expected behavior

Sharee gets notified.

The same here. But the function is essential for me (and probably for others too).

Yes its the only usecase for our company. Same problem here, just restored the old version from backup and waiting for the fix.

Lucky you. In our case, by the time I realized it, so much data had been changed that it no longer made sense to restore the backups for a downgrade. Unfortunately, I now have to wait for the error to be rectified. However, I cannot understand why such an important function for a version release was not tested extensively. My OpenOffice connection also only works if I change the program code. After that, however, the mail app no longer works. None of the last releases have caused so much trouble.

daveatpinellas · 2024-09-17T18:35:52Z

Confirmed this is broken in 30.0.0. The [ Send Email ] button to test smtp works. However when you share a file by email address, the outside user never gets email. Confirmed that email is bouncing correctly to this same smtp host at the operating system level.

himpierre · 2024-09-24T12:06:02Z

Hello Devs!

Is there maybe a patch or workaround we can try until this is fixed?

cheers!

Bad-and-Mad · 2024-09-26T05:05:29Z

Dear developers, is there anyone who can tell us how to set mailsend to true? There must be a way in the code to influence this logical state, as it is also queried and evaluated by the sharing api.

Orobas42 · 2024-09-26T05:39:12Z

This issue deserves urgent attention. The email sharing function is a critical feature of Nextcloud, and we are now two weeks into a stable release with this functionality broken.

I've observed an additional detail that may be helpful for troubleshooting:
When creating a new share, no email is sent to the recipient. However, if we edit an existing share (e.g., change the password or add a comment), emails are successfully sent.

This behavior suggests that the email sending mechanism itself is working, but there's a specific issue with the initial share creation process. Can the development team please investigate this discrepancy?

Given the importance of this feature for many users and organizations, we urgently need an update on the status of this bug and an estimated timeline for a fix. In the meantime, are there any workarounds that can be implemented to restore this functionality? If there's a specific commit that introduced this issue, would it be possible to temporarily revert that commit as a quick fix until a proper solution is developed?

Bad-and-Mad · 2024-09-26T06:09:16Z

The quick and dirty customization that works for me. But the function is essential for us.

File: NC_DIR/lib/private/Share20/Share.php

From line 590

        public function getMailSend() {
                // by M.W.
                // return $this->mailSend;
                return true;
        }

Orobas42 · 2024-09-26T06:39:01Z

This is really dirty. You shouldn't do it in the getter function, as this is also called in other places. The “better” dirty way is to set it to true at the actual place in the code.

File: /lib/private/Share20/Manager.php
Line 740:

//if ($share->getMailSend()) {
if (true) {

Thats the place where the message “Share notification not sent because mailsend is false.” is raised.

But it's still the most dirty workaround in my opinion. What happens when you share with nc users or just want to share a link?

Bad-and-Mad · 2024-09-26T08:36:20Z

Better dirty is always possible. In any case, for now there is a solution that will help many people here who are dependent on the function. I don't want to wait another two weeks. And it is confirmed again and again: don't use a 0 version on productive systems.

Hello @Bad-and-Mad sorry you have had to deal with this for a while, this shall be fixed by the next release.

Bad-and-Mad · 2024-09-26T10:02:17Z

Hello @Bad-and-Mad sorry you have had to deal with this for a while, this shall be fixed by the next release.

I assumed that the problem would be fixed in the next version, but for all those who have upgraded to version 30, a solution is needed for such an important function. Nobody knows when version 30.0.1 will be released and whether the problem will really have disappeared. I just hope that the change in the program code does not cause any further problems.

It looks like, the frontend it needs to provide the `sendMail` param for the backend to decide wether mails would be sent. Our UI does not have that at the moment so it should default to sending emails always for mail shares. Not exactly sure how this was handled earlier but this is a good starting point. Resolves : #48012 Signed-off-by: fenn-cs <fenn25.fn@gmail.com>

Bad-and-Mad · 2024-09-26T11:50:12Z

Addendum: The program should not search for logical specifications that nobody can set...neither in the web frontend nor in the config.php.

Hello,

My implementation also relies heavily on this feature. I confirm that is it son functioning in 30.0.1.

tigernero79 · 2024-11-06T17:30:32Z

I have this problem in both a 30.0.1 and 30.0.2 rc2 instance. Is there a manual fix that can be done while waiting for a solution?

Workaround from @Bad-and-Mad works for me.

I don't understand if the line should be removed or modified in the file manager.php

Modified. In his example he commented out the old if statement and add new one.

We do not expect to see this issue as from 30.0.2 rc1

tigernero79 · 2024-11-07T08:47:13Z

and yet I updated from 30.0.2 rc2 and the problem continues. given the changes made to the file, perhaps the file should also be modified?

File: /lib/private/Share20/Manager.php
now Line 752:

//if ($share->getMailSend()) {
if (true) {

LM-vb · 2024-11-07T09:41:26Z

Can someone else test it using 30.0.2 rc2?

I intended to do the upgrade to 30.0.2 once it is released, but if this major function is still broken I will postpone the upgrade.

himpierre · 2024-11-07T10:26:13Z

Just checked. Works for me with 30.0.2. Thanks Devs! Am 7. November 2024 10:41:51 MEZ schrieb LM-vb ***@***.***>:

tigernero79 · 2024-11-07T16:22:30Z

I updated to 30.0.2 final and still I only receive notifications if I rename files or folders, and nothing more

if I try to upload or delete some files or folders I don't receive any notification via email

the bug is still there

LM-vb · 2024-11-07T17:30:55Z

I agreee with @tigernero79. I, too, only get an email notification when renaming a file, not if a new file gets uploaded into a shared folder. This used to work before (<= NC 29). However, the issue of the bug addressed in this bug report #48012 has been fixed.

@tigernero79: I think you should open a new bug report addressing the new issue.
