Expected Behavior

when an email is received, it searches for patterns in the body to check if it is appropriate.

Actual Behavior

it crashes, because the email body is not passed correctly - report.text needs to be a string.

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "backend.py", line 36, in <module>
    if not user.is_appropriate(status):
  File "/srv/ticketfrei/user.py", line 65, in is_appropriate
    if pattern in report.text.lower():
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower'

report.text is fed by the email.message.get_payload() function:

The payload is either a string or bytes object, in the case of simple message objects, or a list of EmailMessage objects, for MIME container documents such as multipart/* and message/rfc822 message objects.
(source: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.message.html )

The case of a simple string or bytes object is well covered, the problem here is that it was the only test case ;)

We need to decide how we treat the EmailMessage objects in this list; do we want to put all of them in report.text?

untreated MIMEtypes which are multipart are logged - we should revisit this once in a while.

doesn't work yet, not even text works anymore.

test case:

1. send text email to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

1. send signed text email to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

1. send html email reply to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

1. send signed html email reply to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

1. send html email to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

1. send signed html email to testfrei@ticketfrei.links-tech.org

expected:

all are tweeted

actual:

all landed in /var/mail/tech, but none was tweeted.
2 and 3 were posted via mail.
after some delay, fixes, and a restart, 1, 3, and 5 got posted via mail and tweeted.

During the test, there were some shutdowns:

pgp signed mails don't get posted yet, but the other mails went through.

another test run would be nice, but I'm too fucking tired.

pgp signed mails don't throw errors anymore. They are still not posted. Nasty, but I would not consider it a release blocker.

Me neither ;) Not perfect, but shouldn't prevent from releasing!
