An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the SendRawEmail operation: Expected MIME type, got ;

Can you give a few more details about what your setup is?

yuhup2edy commented 3 years ago

Just a simple test using your code to send with and without attachments.

Without - works fine With - errors out with the specific message. Trying to attach a zip file in home directory

Strange, I can't seem to replicate the issue with a .zip file. I am testing on macOS 11.6. Have you checked if Terminal has the right file access?

GM and thanks much for the response. I am using a cloud shell and i have other scripts that seem to read / write files absolutely fine.

I ran a debug on the script and there is the log. You'll also see some errors reported from the editor but the template files get created just fine.

@yuhup2edy - your image didn't attach. Can you resend the log? Have you tried attaching a file that is in a different location?

yuhup2edy commented 3 years ago

Figured out the issue. A closer look at the email template revealed at the mimetype was not populated, rather it came back with no value. Upon further investigation, i found that my cloud shell was returning command not found for the "file" that determines the mimetype. So, i went ahead and hard coded a application/zip for the mime type because that's what i will be using always. That helped me get past the error however the zip file came in empty. I tried various other combinations like application/octet-stream, application/x-zip-compressed, multipart/x-zip but none of them seem to send me a valid file. Any thoughts ? What does your mime type return for a zip ?

A .zip file on my desktop comes up as: "application/zip"

If you leave that part out completely, there shouldn't be any harm, just the receiving e-mail system won't know what the attachment is, but if you know what it is, you just do what you need to with it.

Just remove line 68 and don't include the mimetype at all.

yuhup2edy commented 3 years ago

Strange. Any attachment that i try to send with out without the mimetype is rendering empty.

I think different clients treat it differently. Have you tried sending to a different service (if webmail) or using a different client to read the message?
