Agenda tool remind-actions.json.rb says "Error: no emails were sent to " even when they were sent. about whimsy HOT 6 CLOSED

Could you be a bit more precise than "is confused"? Not know what the symptoms are makes it hard to debug.

remind-actions starts from the information in the roll call, presuming that action items tend to go to people who either are expected to attend meetings or actually show up. It then augments this list from committee-info.txt. It then extracts first names from this list, and then if there are duplicates, applies a heuristic that action items tend to go first to directors, then to officers, then to guests, then to other non-pmc VPs that are not listed in the roll call.

Using the current agenda, this is the mapping that is produced:

{"Andy"=>"andy",
"Bertrand"=>"bdelacretaz",
"Craig"=>"clr",
"Daniel"=>"humbedooh",
"David"=>"ke4qqq",
"Dirk-Willem"=>"dirkx",
"Gavin"=>"gmcdonald",
"Greg"=>"gstein",
"Griselda"=>"gris",
"Henri"=>"bayard",
"Justin"=>"jmclean",
"Mark"=>"markt",
"Matt"=>"mattsicker",
"Myrle"=>"myrle",
"Niclas"=>"niclas",
"Patricia"=>"pats",
"Rich"=>"rbowen",
"Roman"=>"rvs",
"Roy"=>"fielding",
"Ruth"=>"suehle",
"Sally"=>"sk",
"Sam"=>"rubys",
"Sander"=>"striker",
"Shane"=>"curcuru",
"Tom"=>"tpappas",
"Trevor"=>"rawkintrevo"}

Sorry, there isn't much detail to give, but my guess was wrong.

The error message is "Error: no emails were sent to ". One message was correctly sent to Shane and the other was not sent (to Sander). The only thing different was that Sander is usually noted as Striker in the AIs, but I think he manually changed that.

There is no indication of anything in the error logs. In the access log it shows as a 200 at whimsy_access.log-20200630:{ "time": "2020-06-30T00:16:42+0000" }

I just tried it again with only Sander checked. The dry run looks like

Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2020 19:20:46 +0000
From: "Roy T. Fielding" <[email protected]>
To: Sander Striker <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Subject: Action Item reminder
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

The following action needs your attention:

* work on guidelines for PMCs to request CI resources
  [ Unfinished Business 2020-05-20 ]

app.js:7736:17
Object { count: 1, unsent: [], dryrun: true }

and the only thing unusual about that is his address name is not double-quoted.

It should be reproducible (in chair mode) by looking at action items, selecting send reminders, and selecting only Sander.

Oh, hold on, the mail to Sander is getting sent since it is being bcc'd to board-private (WTF?).

So, the UI message popup of "Error: no emails were sent to " is something else entirely.

from whimsy.

I think the error message should be followed by a comma-separated list of the recipients whose emails could not be found.
Maybe the list contains some invisible people; as a check I can add markers to show the list boundary.
