Attaching PDFs about nativescript-email

[EddyVerbruggen]

Can you show the actual code?

[sroy93]

Sure. Here's the piece of it that contains the email portion: (See below the code for the value of the attachment path variable)

email.available().then((avail: boolean) => {
if(avail) {
dialogs.prompt({
title: "Enter Email",
message: "Please enter the address you want to send the document to below",
okButtonText: "Send",
cancelButtonText: "Cancel",
inputType: dialogs.inputType.email
}).then((r) => {
if(r.result = true) {
if(r.text != "") {
email.compose({
subject: "CPU Signed Form - " + this.cpuOrder.OrderNumber,
body: "See attachment.",
to: [r.text],
attachments: [
{
fileName: this.cpuOrder.OrderNumber + '-SIG.pdf',
path: this.pdfPath,
mimeType: 'application/pdf'
}]
}).then(
function() {
console.log("Email composer closed");
}, function(err) {
dialogs.alert({
title: "Email Not Sent"
,message: "Error: " + err
,okButtonText: "Ok"
});
});
}
else {
dialogs.alert({
title: "Enter a Valid Email"
,message: "Please enter an email address"
,okButtonText: "Ok"
});
}
}
})

                }
                else {
                    dialogs.alert({
                        title: "Email Not Supported"
                        ,message: "This device does not support OR is not set up for emailing."
                        ,okButtonText: "Ok"
                    });
                }

The error reads: "File not found for path: http://cpuimages.ivansmith.com/CPUImages/SignaturePDFs/1001903LG28-SIG.pdf"

So that is going to be the value of the variable in the code.

Quite frankly, I can't access that file either:

[sroy93]

Well you aren't going to be able to if you aren't on the correct network. I can though from a browser.

[sroy93]

I am also displaying the PDF via another NativeScript plugin using the same variable, so the same URL. So it is not as though the app itself cannot access it.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Let’s not complicate things. Do you have the same issue with a publicly available pdf (please post an example)

[sroy93]

Good thought. I tried replacing the variable in my code with the public URL you find here. It gives the same error.

email.available().then((avail: boolean) => {
if(avail) {
dialogs.prompt({
title: "Enter Email",
message: "Please enter the address you want to send the document to below",
okButtonText: "Send",
cancelButtonText: "Cancel",
inputType: dialogs.inputType.email
}).then((r) => {
if(r.result = true) {
if(r.text != "") {
email.compose({
subject: "CPU Signed Form - " + this.cpuOrder.OrderNumber,
body: "See attachment.",
to: [r.text],
attachments: [
{
fileName: this.cpuOrder.OrderNumber + '-SIG.pdf',
path: "https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf",
mimeType: 'application/pdf'
}]
}).then(
function() {
console.log("Email composer closed");
}, function(err) {
dialogs.alert({
title: "Email Not Sent"
,message: "Error: " + err
,okButtonText: "Ok"
});
});
}
else {
dialogs.alert({
title: "Enter a Valid Email"
,message: "Please enter an email address"
,okButtonText: "Ok"
});
}
}
})

                }
                else {
                    dialogs.alert({
                        title: "Email Not Supported"
                        ,message: "This device does not support OR is not set up for emailing."
                        ,okButtonText: "Ok"
                    });
                }
            })

Is there any update on this by chance? I have now tested this on an Android, as well as, iOS and the issue occurs on both.

[EddyVerbruggen]

I have not found time to look into it. Flagging it as "help wanted" so perhaps someone else can step in.
