Bug ID: 509132
Summary: kdeconnect-cli --send-sms returns true when SMS
sending fails
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: FreeBSD Ports
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: messaging-application

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you try to send an SMS using the command line utility but the sending
isn't possible, the utility still returns true. This makes it impossible to
handle or report this failure when using kdeconnect-cli in scripts.
I understand that it may not be possible to report failure in all cases, but
this happens in even trivial cases, such as when the device is no longer
contactable, for instance, if it has been put into airplane mode.
Ideally, they kdeconnect app running on the phone should robustly determine
whether the message has been sent delayed or failed, and return that
information to the local kde daemon and utility allowing the utility to report
this using messages to stderr and return values.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. $ if kdeconnect-cli --send-sms "Test Message" --device [GUID] --destination
[Number]; then echo "Success"; else echo "Failure"; fi
Success
(Message is successfully sent and received)
2. Enable airplane mode on phone
3. $ if kdeconnect-cli --send-sms "Test Message" --device [GUID] --destination
[Number]; then echo "Success"; else echo "Failure"; fi
Success
(even though delivery is impossible and message isn't sent)
OBSERVED RESULT
Utility returns true (0) when message is not sent.
EXPECTED RESULT
Utility returns false(1) to indicate failure
