Cannot use message.from.email in if clause

[tkaufmann]

I added a dictionary in my customized attribution (email from: salutation). Now I'm trying to find out if message.from.email is a substring of "email from". This doesn't work ("A templating error occured"):

{% for key, value in persie.items() %}
    {% if (message.from.email in key) %}
Hey Foo!
    {% end %}
{% end %}

I'm quite sure it should, as the following code works (but doesn't help me much):

{% for key, value in persie.items() %}
    {% if ("foo@bar.local" in key) %}
Hey Foo!
    {% end %}
{% end %}

I'd be very thankful if you could help. I'm on OSX 10.11.1 with QuoteFix 2.7.0.

How exactly did you define that dictionary? I think I found the issue: try using message.From.email (capital "F").

Sadly, templating errors aren't logged so it's difficult to debug these issues, I'll create a separate issue to enable some logging (#54)

[tkaufmann]

Well, that's better! Now only one problem is left - accessing the dictionary:

{% for key, value in persie.items() %}
    {% if (message.From.email.lower() in key) %}
        ${persie[value]}
    {% end %}
{% end %}

The ${persie[value]} is causing a template error.

[robertklep]

Don't you mean just ${value}?

[tkaufmann]

facepalm You're certainly correct. Unfortunately, this causes a template error, too. Here's the full template. It lacks an additional elif, but that doesn't matter for debugging:

{{ setvar("foo", "{'foo@foo.local': 'Hallo Herr XXXXXXXX'}") }}

{{ setvar("persie_1", "{'foo@foo.local': 'Hallo Herr XXXXXXXX'}") }}

Hmm, that seems to work okay with my standalone test script (here).

I'll push an update for QF shortly that will log templating errors when debugging mode is on (you can enable it in the "Advanced" settings).

[tkaufmann]

Ok, will get back to you then. Thanks again!

[robertklep]

New release pushed: 2.7.1

Errors are logged to the system log (/var/log/system.log), which you can view using the Console application (in /Applications/Utilities).

[tkaufmann]

Whether ${value} works or not seems to depend on the sender's email address. It works for most of them, but not all. Cannot post examples here but would like to get in touch. How can we do this?

[robertklep]

Feel free to e-mail me (robert DOT klep AT gmail DOT com)

[tkaufmann]

You've got mail ;-)

[tkaufmann]

Turned out, the solution was to use

${ unicode(value, 'utf-8') }

instead of

${value}
