I want to use the Scheduler for sending emails. Everything works fine, but I cannot use an Attachment:
I use json.dumps for the "var" field of scheduler_task, but json.dumps cannot convert an Attachment. Next try: pickle.dumps "hides" the attachment and json.dumps accepts this: db.scheduler_task.insert( status='QUEUED', application_name='secure', task_name='task_name', function_name='send_email', args='[]', vars=json.dumps(dict(to=to, subject=subject, message=str(message), attachments=pickle.dumps(attachments), cc=cc, bcc=bcc, reply_to=reply_to, encoding=encoding, headers=headers)), enabled=True, start_time=start_time, stop_time=start_time+timedelta(days=1), repeats=1, retry_failed=retry_failed, period=period, timeout=120, ) Now the scheduler_run reports an error Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\web2py\gluon\scheduler.py", line 217, in executor vars = loads(task.vars, object_hook=_decode_dict) File "D:\web2py\gluon\contrib\simplejson\__init__.py", line 403, in loads return cls(encoding=encoding, **kw).decode(s) File "D:\web2py\gluon\contrib\simplejson\decoder.py", line 403, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "D:\web2py\gluon\contrib\simplejson\decoder.py", line 421, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("No JSON object could be decoded", s, idx) JSONDecodeError: No JSON object could be decoded: line 1 column 0 (char 0) My question: is there a way to queue emails with attachments using the Scheduler?
