Attachment is not sent, unless value of 'filePath' key is hardcoded.

None values from below does not work except first

...
                     attachments: [{                                             
                         //filePath: 'build/output/ads.dev.master-61.ajs'        
                         //filePath: grunt.config('vars.mail.attachment')        
                         //filePath: grunt.file.expand('<%= vars.dest %>/*')[0]  
                         //filePath: grunt.file.expand(grunt.config('vars.dest') + '/*')[0]
                     }]                                                          
...

Any idea how to make this does its job?

Hi,

i didn't try any of the combination, anyway a quick fix would be to use the __dirname global to point to the folder where your Gruntfile resides.

With path module you can have cross platform path format too:

var  path = require('path');
console.log(path.normalize(__dirname + '/path/file.txt'));

Hi!

Your comment did not help me, but still get a hint to me where to go.. But I could not get anything of it

Best case which get some info is next

                     attachments: [{                                             
                         filePath: __dirname + grunt.file.expand(grunt.config.get('vars.dest') + '*')[0]
                     }]                                                          

In the log there is next line

Running "nodemailer:send" (nodemailer) task
[D] Task source: /home/vv/work/own/js/uos/ads/node_modules/grunt-nodemailer/tasks/nodemailer.js

Sending 1 e-mail to recipients: ...
Message sent successfully.

Its obvious that second part of filepath value is 'broken'. All examples that I found in the internet is using static pathes (or hardcoded; same as you btw). I am sending with help of grunt file that has dynamic name. Today this is build/output/ads.dev.master-61.ajs and tomorrow that will be build/output/ads.dev.master-62.ajs for example.

I tried different cases and it looks like that grunt's config (and its values respectively) becomes unavailable at some level.

Hope you will give me one more hint because I am out of ideas..

Just for the record I was able to get this working with next line

  7         grunt.config('nodemailer.options.message.attachments',                  
  6             [{filePath: grunt.file.expand(grunt.config('vars.dest') + '*')[0]}]);
