Good afternoon, I have a new Vikunja instance v0.24.4. I’m looking to put it in production with email sending through gmail. Running docker compose with environmental variables pushed through the compose yml. I have successfully tested email with “vikunja testemail” log below, and enabled mail with the env variable, but it appears when Vikunja has a trigger for an email send, we get this panic error. I have the logs below. Any thoughts? ```auto ############################################ ###test email successful ############################################ 2024-11-21T19:37:57Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using

This is unrelated to sending mail and instead a bug in the typesense integration. It is already fixed in the latest unstable build. ---

Awesome, much appreciated. Unfortunately, I’ve jumped to the latest unstable image (vikunja/vikunja:unstable, v0.24.1-486-5edccba028, checksum sha256:a59a221509edbd25ec3c0e51e9831082d0946348a820f9dda3e71444eec4c192) and the issue seems to have changed, not resolved? At least I’m 80% sure this is the most recent unstable release from a bit ago? I no longer get an error message from mail logs, in fact, I don’t get any error messages at all. I attempted to assign tasks to myself and set reminders that pass during my logging time, comment, neither seem to do anything? I see the actions are caught in logs. The reminders are found and do fall into the minute the search is looking for, but I never receive an email nor is one sent, and no mail error logs are posted? I created Task 172 for this log set. Assigned myself to task and commented. Nothing came received, nothing in sent mail, no mail logs. ```auto 2024-11-22T15:05:25Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:25Z: INFO ▶ 002 Running migrations… 2024-11-22T15:05:25Z: INFO ▶ 06d Ran all migrations successfully. 2024-11-22T15:05:25Z: DEBUG ▶ 06e [Task Reminder Cron] Timezone is America/Chicago 2024-11-22T15:05:25Z: INFO ▶ 06f Vikunja version v0.24.1-486-5edccba028 2024-11-22T15:05:30Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:35Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:40Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:45Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:50Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:05:55Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:00Z: DEBUG ▶ 0eb [Task Reminder Cron] Looking for reminders between 2024-11-22 09:06:00 -0600 CST and 2024-11-22 09:07:00 -0600 CST to send... 2024-11-22T15:06:00Z: DEBUG ▶ 0ee [Undone Overdue Tasks Reminder] Sending reminders to 0 users 2024-11-22T15:06:00Z: DEBUG ▶ 0f0 [Task Reminder Cron] Found 4 reminders 2024-11-22T15:06:00Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:04Z: DEBUG ▶ 0fb Initials avatar for user 1 and size 50 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:04Z: DEBUG ▶ 0fc Initials avatar for user 1 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:05Z: DEBUG ▶ 123 Initials avatar for user 1 and size 25 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:05Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:07Z: DEBUG ▶ 134 Initials avatar for user 1 and size 48 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:07Z: DEBUG ▶ 136 Initials avatar for user 1 and size 30 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:08Z: DEBUG ▶ 15c Did not find any webhook for the task.updated event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:08Z: DEBUG ▶ 162 Did not find any webhook for the task.assignee.deleted event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:08Z: DEBUG ▶ 169 Did not find filter for view 136 2024-11-22T15:06:08Z: DEBUG ▶ 16a Did not find filter for view 140 2024-11-22T15:06:09Z: DEBUG ▶ 171 Serving initials avatar for user 1 and size 50 from cache 2024-11-22T15:06:09Z: DEBUG ▶ 174 Serving initials avatar for user 1 and size 50 from cache 2024-11-22T15:06:10Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:13Z: DEBUG ▶ 1c4 Did not find any webhook for the task.assignee.deleted event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:13Z: DEBUG ▶ 1c8 Did not find filter for view 136 2024-11-22T15:06:13Z: DEBUG ▶ 1c9 Did not find filter for view 140 2024-11-22T15:06:13Z: DEBUG ▶ 1cd Did not find any webhook for the task.updated event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:15Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:18Z: DEBUG ▶ 201 Did not find any webhook for the task.created event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:18Z: DEBUG ▶ 20a Did not find filter for view 136 2024-11-22T15:06:18Z: DEBUG ▶ 20b Did not find filter for view 140 2024-11-22T15:06:21Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:23Z: DEBUG ▶ 22a Initials avatar for user 1 and size 24 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:24Z: DEBUG ▶ 257 Did not find any webhook for the task.assignee.created event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:24Z: DEBUG ▶ 25e Did not find any webhook for the task.updated event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:24Z: DEBUG ▶ 262 Sending task assigned notifications to 1 subscribers for task 172 2024-11-22T15:06:24Z: DEBUG ▶ 269 Did not find filter for view 136 2024-11-22T15:06:24Z: DEBUG ▶ 26a Did not find filter for view 140 2024-11-22T15:06:26Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:28Z: DEBUG ▶ 291 Did not find any webhook for the task.comment.created event for project 1, not sending 2024-11-22T15:06:28Z: DEBUG ▶ 295 Sending task comment notifications to 1 subscribers for task 172 2024-11-22T15:06:28Z: DEBUG ▶ 299 Initials avatar for user 1 and size 20 not cached, creating... 2024-11-22T15:06:31Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. 2024-11-22T15:06:36Z: INFO ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables. ``` ---

Just kidding. I realize that when I assign myself to things, I do not get emails, but if others assign me, I do. I think that’s expected 🙂 So it’s working on unstable 🙂 ---
