Duplicate Email Reminders

Bug
1

Docker-compose install on ubuntu.

When reminders are configured to be sent ‘x’ hours prior to a specific set date, they will dispatch two emails. The number of emails escalates with each additional date set. For instance, if a task has both a start and end date, three email reminders will be dispatched. If a task has a start date, end date, and a due date, then four email reminders will be dispatched.

Email is set up using Exchange Online over port 587.

Running the command line test email function sends one email successfully.

I’m seeing the same issue describe.

Yeah im not quite sure how emails are intended to work in general.
I have a top level project that is shared with a Team of people.

  • Create a task in that project without assigning it to a user and nobody being subscribed to the project

No email sent to anyone (this is expected)

  • Assign that task to a specific user from that Team

No email sent to that user (this is not expected)

  • User subscribes to the project and i create a new task in that project

No email sent to that user (also not expected)

  • User subscribes to the project and i assign a task to that specific user

Two identical emails sent to that user (also not expected)

So email notifications only work if a user is both subscribed to the project and is assigned the task directly.

I would expect just subscribing to the project or the task being assigned to be enough to trigger a notification.

Thank you for you work in developing Vikunja, im already pretty happy with how it works, just want to figure out how to best use it :slight_smile:

Should be fixed in 1b9c4204a8. Please check with the next unstable build if the problem went away.

The issue appears to have been fixed running regular updates. Thanks!
