File not found Issue and attach a file

[seetuaccn]

Hi,

I added email report extension recently but I'm getting "File not found: '/home/vsts/work/_tasks/EmailReport_36fd41b1-8024-4ce9-a5a0-53c3e54ed105/1.1.8/Index.js'" error.
Can you please help me here. Also, can you please let me know if I can attach any file with email notification with the same extensions.
I'm getting default notification when my job gets failed/success so; do I need to setup smtp also to use this email extensions.
Details screen shot is here -

Hi,

I had the same error using a job running on an ubuntu-20.04 agent. It worked when using a windows-2019 agent.

I figured out that the task was searching for a file named Index.js and that one named index.js was present in the directory.
This is probably due to how windows and linux deal with case. Windows is case insensitive when it comes to file names whereas linux is case sensitive so on linux the task couldn't find the correct file.

I'm having the same issue. Using windows agent is not an option for me.

Dirty workaround I came up with:
Just add this Bash task before EmailReport task

  - bash: |
      cd /mnt/vss/_work/_tasks/EmailReport_36fd41b1-8024-4ce9-a5a0-53c3e54ed105/1.1.8
      cp ./index.js ./Index.js
      sed -i -e "s~\\\\\\\\~/~" ./htmlreport/HTMLReportCreator.js
      sed -i -e "s~\\\\\\\\~/~" ./model/helpers/LinkHelper.js
    displayName: EmailReport fix
    continueOnError: true

(you might need to fix cd <path> to match your EmailReport version)

hi @Mithras seems you and me found and solved the same issue with the file.

my PR is here #51 but seems the repo owners are not reviewing this repo for a long time.

cannot be bothered to wait for Microsoft to fix this one, I am using now my own extension:
