In bug 53771 Roan noted receiving an empty e-mail from wikitech: To: Catrope <roan@wikimedia.org> Subject: New notification at Wikitech X-PHP-Originating-Script: 0:UserMailer.php From: MediaWiki Mail <noc@wikimedia.org> Reply-To: No Reply <noc@wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:03:04 +0000 Message-ID: <labswiki.522783e832fdd3.58527144@wikitech.wikimedia.org> X-Mailer: MediaWiki mailer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit You have a new notification. ________________________________________________ To control which emails we send you, check your preferences: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo - - - - - Benny Situ commented that this is the "default notification message for email if a notification type doesn't define such message." I got the same empty e-mail, and my notifications from Wikitech are all special ones from the OpenStack integration code, such as: Hashar built instance 'deployment-sql03' in project Nova Resource:Deployment-prep so it sounds like this code needs to define some messages.
According to what I heard earlier (forgot who said it) this just needs Ryan (or someone else with access to wikitech wiki) to the proper update scripts. Either way, please figure this out between Ryan and Echo. Whatever the case is, this looks broken and needs to be fixed.

This is fairly annoying. It should at least contain the message you see when you sign in to Wikitech.
With Ryan being elsewhere, unassigning for the moment.
It looks to me like OpenStackManager needs to implement the onBeforeCreateEchoEvent hook [0] to provide the proper messages for the email subject and body. The implementation in Thanks [1] could probably be used as a reference. Additional instructions can be found in the Echo Developer guide [2].

[2014-07-24T03:36:49] <bd808> andrewbogott_afk: I haven't gotten any echo notification emails from wikitech since Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:38:05 +0000. I'm more than a bit worried that my patch to change the echo emails broke something. [2014-07-24T03:41:17] <bd808> andrewbogott_afk: < legoktm> umm, is wikitech running processEchoEmailBatch.php? [2014-07-24T03:41:34] <bd808> andrewbogott_afk: < legoktm> by adding "email-body-batch-params" and "email-body-batch-message" I think you enabled batching support, which requires a script to be run [2014-07-24T03:41:45] <legoktm> okay, I'll just talk in here now :P [2014-07-24T03:42:55] <bd808> legoktm: I was just queuing up things for Andrew's bouncer to tell him in the morning :) [2014-07-24T03:44:45] <legoktm> bd808: is wikitech's configuration public anywhere? [2014-07-24T03:44:54] <legoktm> $wgEchoEnableEmailBatch = false; should fix it [2014-07-24T03:45:12] <legoktm> but people would miss emails...setting up a cronjob is probably better [2014-07-24T03:45:20] <bd808> I don't think the config is public. At least I've never seen it. [2014-07-24T03:45:29] <Krinkle> Indeed, not public and not versioned. [2014-07-24T03:45:38] <bd808> poor wikitech [2014-07-24T03:45:50] <bd808> the cobbler's children... [2014-07-24T03:46:26] <legoktm> :(
So you fixed the bug by not sending out any emails at all? Haha, nice What's the next step now?
Well, there was Gerrit change #149459
(In reply to Alex Monk from comment #10) > Well, there was Gerrit change #149459 Andrew ran the batch send manually yesterday and it did send out some emails, but apparently only for people who had selected batch notification in their preferences. The gerrit change referenced should continue to send batches, assuming of course that Echo is placing message requests in the database table. Last I heard we still didn't know why emails were not being sent for users like me who have individual delivery specified in their preferences.
