send mail via script

[paarmann-ara]

Good Day,

I try send mail via script, but I get error.

def SendEmail(Message):
      try:
            useSSL = 'True'
            schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
            mConfig = Sys.OleObject["CDO.Configuration"]
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "sendusing"] = 2
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpserver"] = outlook.office365.com
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpserverport"] = 587
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "sendusername"] = MyEmailAddress
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "sendpassword"] = MyEmailPassword
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpauthenticate"] = 1
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "STARTTLS"] = True
            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpconnectiontimeout"] = 30;
            
            mConfig.Fields.Update()

            mMessage = Sys.OleObject["CDO.Message"]
            mMessage.Configuration = mConfig
            mMessage.From = MyEmailAddress
            mMessage.To = MyEmailAddress
            mMessage.Subject = 'TestComplete Result'
            mMessage.HTMLBody = Message

            mMessage.Send();

      except Exception as exp:
            Log.Error('E-mail cannot be sent', str(exp))
            return False
      Log.Message('Message was successfully sent')
      return True
      
def test ():
    SendEmail('Hi')

Wht is wrong in my code?

[anupamchampati]

what is the error?

[LinoTadros]

Any reason you are not using the Builtin.SendMail( ) function in Testcomplete instead of using the CDO objects?

Also without sharing the error, it is difficult to help

Cheers

@anupamchampati @LinoTadros  Many thanks for your quick reply

('The transport could not connect to the server.', 0, 'CDO.Message.1', '', 0, -2147220973)

It would be helpful to know what the error is you get and on which line.

Just as a rough guess, though, if this is a copy and paste of your actual code the problem is with

            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpserver"] = outlook.office365.com

That needs to be set as a string.  Change to

            mConfig.Fields.Item[schema + "smtpserver"] = "outlook.office365.com"

That is not a TestComplete issue.  You have a problem on the machine you are executing this code from regarding the CDO COM object registration, or Firewall.

To eliminate the possible issues, try to execute the code from your Python IDE of choice and you will probably get the same error.

If you have Visual Studio, you can try similar code in C# to send a message with CDO

Once you are successful using the CDO object in another product, TestComplete will work.

You can even use Excel with VBScript to test the CDO object

Currently I am pretty sure it is the COM server for CDO or the Firewall that is cause the connection not to work

I must using the STARTTLS.

[paarmann-ara]

@tristaanogre  many thanks for your Tip, 

I change it with "outlook.office365.com" 

and agin not working

the error ist:

('The transport could not connect to the server.', 0, 'CDO.Message.1', '', 0, -2147220973)

There are other things in that code that I'm assuming are variables.  MyEmailAddress and MyEmailPassword for example.  The assumption is that they are being populated somewhere.  Please check to make sure you have those values correct.

@tristaanogre  Thanks,

I check that, that is correct. So, Maybe the case of this Error is our Firewall and hosting department. I will try this code from another infrastructure.
