Description

When new issue is created by email fetched from gmail via redmine:email:receive_imap, attachments are ignored.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. send email with attachment to redmine GMail account.
  2. execute rake redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV=production
  3. go to issue list of the project

Expected: new issue was created with file attached to it. Mail in GMail box was cleared.

In fact: new issue is created but without attachments. Message is left in mailbox.

This is still needed for 3.2.0.

This is very minor change. Can this be addressed soon?

Facing the same issue on Redmine 3.3.0.
Facing the same issue. All functions of retrieving mail working, except for attachments. On IMAP / POP3

Could this be a function of the IMAP server?

In which case will try an alternative.

Thanks,
Akhilesh

It works on Redmine 3.3.0, if you run the command via cron

Please fix this! My Incomming emails from Evernote contains only inline images (hand writing)

#11 Updated by Yuichi HARADA almost 2 years ago

The problem could not be reproduced, but the possible causes are:
  1. The process to add the attachments is performed after issue#save!
  2. Attachments are added directly to issue#attachments, but originally it must go through #saved_attachments defined in acts_as_attachable.

I created a patch.

I tested 10721-fixed.path in latest 4.2.0, it seems only working for one attachment.
If there are two or more attachments in email, then only the first attachment shown in notification mail.

I guess the reason is new issue email is created when first attachment added and issue saved, after that, remaining attachments added and saved.

#14 Updated by anju dhiman about 1 year ago

We also want to get all attachments from email when any ticket is creating.
Can you guys help us?

#16 Updated by anju dhiman about 1 year ago

guys is there any possibility to have this feature?

I think to change the add_attachments method could solve the issue, basically to change << to build, not yet fully tested, but seems working.

#    obj.attachments << Attachment.create(:container => obj,
                    #                      :file => attachment.body.decoded,
                    #                      :filename => attachment.filename,
                    #                      :author => user,
                    #                      :content_type => attachment.mime_type)
obj.attachments.build(:container => obj,
                                          :file => attachment.body.decoded,
                                          :filename => attachment.filename,
                                          :author => user,
                                          :content_type => attachment.mime_type)
