How to reproduce: Create an ItemAttachment for an appointment, for example drag & drop an Outlook contact, mail or appointment to an appointment. Try call the ItemAttachment's Load() function. The following error is thrown:

Code:

const exchangeAttachments: Attachment[] = item.Attachments?.GetEnumerator() ?? [];
for await (const attachment of exchangeAttachments) {
    await attachment.Load();
}

A useful workaround may be to fetch the attachment again with ExchangeService.GetAttachments After this re-fetch ItemAttachment.Load() is possible (at least in my case)

if (exchangeItem.HasAttachment) {
  const exchangeAttachments: Attachment[] = exchangeItem.Attachments?.GetEnumerator() ?? [];

  for await (const attachment of exchangeAttachments) {
    const attachments = await ExchangeService.GetAttachments([attachment.Id], BodyType.HTML, []);
    const itemAttachment: ItemAttachment = attachments.Responses[0].Attachment as ItemAttachment;
    await itemAttachment.Load([ItemSchema.MimeContent]);
  }
}

Is this still valid?

parlato-vooma commented 10 months ago

ExchangeService.GetAttachments([attachment.Id], ...) results in a Typescript error for me. It appears GetAttachments expects a full Attachment?

(method) ExchangeService.GetAttachments(attachments: Attachment[], bodyType: BodyType, additionalProperties: PropertyDefinitionBase[]): Promise<ServiceResponseCollection<GetAttachmentResponse>> (+1 overload)

Is this a bug?

I have to check but use the workaround used by @1056109 for now.
