Sending email with cronjob throws exception

[kandrejevs]

I'm trying to send email with cronjob to list from adminhtml area, throws error:

Required parameter 'theme_dir' was not passed

email sending works with magento cron:run command.

[kandrejevs]

Let me know if you need any additional info

[tkn98]

I suspect this is b/c of incomplete initialization of the entry-point (here for cron).

Can you share the exact version of Magento you're using?

[kandrejevs]

enterprise edition 2.1.2

[cmuench]

@kandrejevs Is this a standard cron job? If yes, can you provide me the name of the cronjob?

[kandrejevs]

it is custom job

        <job name="oe_export_invoices" instance="Test\OrderExport\Model\ICMExport" method="exportICM">
            <schedule>0 3 1 * *</schedule>
        </job>

[ktomk]

If you still can easily provoke the error, can you please provide the command (and all output) executed with -vvv switch which should give a backtrace (hopefull). Please mask (or cut away) any personal data in the output if applicable.

sys:cron:run [job]

[ktomk]

hi, I added some changes to the development version. if you update to it you can try again.

[akira28]

I get the same error "Required parameter 'theme_dir' was not passed" on the latest 1.3.3 version. Do you have any workaround?

[jacquesbh]

We had te same problem today and we used this to resolve the issue:

$appState->emulateAreaCode(Area::AREA_ADMINHTML, function () use () {
    // Send your email
});

Because the startEnvironmentEmulation doesn't change the area code in Magento.

And Magerun uses emulateAreaCode('crontab'…) to run the cron jobs.

[ktomk]

@jacquesbh: Thanks for the feedback. When I reviewed the cron invocation last time, I did not find a place where the area code is changed. Can the code be set per cronjob somehow?

[jacquesbh]

I don't think so. The best way to do that is to emulate (both store and area code).

[ktomk]

Wouldn't that then be the job of the module's / cron action's code? Magento's own code is hard to follow / a bit convoluted when it's about to invoke the cron actions which makes it hard to mimic the behaviour for single cron action invocation as by Magerun.

[jacquesbh]

I use emulation in some of my cronjobs yes, directly in the module's code.

[rickkuilman]

I'm having the same issue. I am trying to send an email via a cron job, but I get the same error as https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun2/issues/245#issuecomment-275353281. This is the code I currently have:

Hello world :D

---

When I comment out the InvalidArgumentException in /vendor/magento/framework/View/Design/Fallback/Rule/Simple.php:61, the code continues without any hiccups.

---

I updated magerun2 to 2.0.0. Does someone have the fix for this issue?

[PascalBrouwers]

Any fix for this? Got the same error when running sys:cron:run sales_send_order_emails

[rickkuilman]

@PascalBrouwers Until this day I comment out /vendor/magento/framework/View/Design/Fallback/Rule/Simple.php:61 during development. I have no clue how to actually fix the problem.

[zennco]

Same error with version 2.1.2. Magerun sets area code as "crontab" and Magento can't find the template file.

[nbennett25]

Also happening in 2.1.7

[Rakke1]

2.2 +1

[jwundrak]

Some notice: This fix resolve a double emulation. If you want to send mails in frontend-mode, you still need startEnvironmentEmulation. For more details look at the pull request description: #397
