pass_eval is not working with pass

[2Belette]

Hi,

I switched from python-imapnotify to your node-imapnotify as the one on python is not working.

Only one (important) thing for me is that I am unable to make it work with pass.

"password_eval": "/usr/bin/pass servers/email",

is failling for me :

{"name":"imap_inotify","hostname":"x","pid":27719,"level":50,"box":"INBOX","msg":"Error registered","time":"2017-10-30T12:31:52.486Z","v":0}
{"name":"imap_inotify","hostname":"x","pid":27719,"level":50,"box":"INBOX","msg":"{ Error: No supported authentication method(s) available. Unable to login.\n    at Connection.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:1679:15)\n    at Connection._resTagged (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:1535:22)\n    at Parser.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:194:10)\n    at emitOne (events.js:96:13)\n    at Parser.emit (events.js:191:7)\n    at Parser._resTagged (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:175:10)\n    at Parser._parse (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:139:16)\n    at Parser._tryread (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:82:15)\n    at TLSSocket.Parser._cbReadable (/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:53:12)\n    at emitNone (events.js:86:13) source: 'authentication' }","time":"2017-10-30T12:31:52.487Z","v":0}

I am missing a proper format to use it ? It is like the parsing of the command is failling.

Many thanks!

any idea?

@renatofdds : thanks but it is not very useful comment as you can imagine I already took a look on this! If I am asking and tried it is because I am not finding the answers.. If you have the command to test instead I would greatly appreciate :)

I figured you haven't read it because of the configuration keys you are trying to use: there is no mention of some "pass_eval" key.

You should use it like imapnotify -c /path/to/your/config.js, and on your config.js something like (as described on the readme):

var child_process = require('child_process');

function getStdout(cmd) {
    var stdout = child_process.execSync(cmd);
    return stdout.toString().trim();
}

exports.host = "imap.gmail.com"
exports.port = 993;
exports.tls = true;
exports.tlsOptions = {
    "rejectUnauthorized": false
};
exports.username = "[email protected]";
exports.password = getStdout("/usr/bin/pass servers/email | head -n1");
exports.onNotify = "/usr/bin/mbsync -q gmail-inbox"
exports.onNotifyPost = { mail: "pgrep Xorg &>/dev/null && notify-send '<b>Gmail</b>\nNew mail'" }
exports.boxes = ["INBOX"];

oki thanks! I misunderstood as I thought it was possible to use JSON format instead of the one described on the readme. or perhaps you have a trick for that? If I remember it was working with JSON format if the pass is in clear text so I am only missing a way to eval pass in JSON...

many thanks

[renatofdds]

JSON configuration is not executed because ultimately it gets just require()'d from imapnotify JS code and there are currently no configuration keys parsed and executed as commands by the code, so therefore the pass needs to be in plain text.

I think you are confusing this as a port of python-imapnotify, it is not.

[2Belette]

got it! you are right, I had two concurrent installation (python and node). I have been able to make it work many thanks

[2Belette]

by the way I have tried to react only on IMAP event and tried: exports.onNewMail = "/usr/local/bin/mbsync test"; but it doesn't see to work as /usr/local/bin/mbsync test is launched for every event.

Another thing I noticed is that for a single event it seems that the command is launched twice:

{"name":"imap_inotify","hostname":"x","pid":18679,"level":30,"box":"INBOX","msg":"New Mail","time":"2017-12-14T12:25:38.345Z","v":0}
{"name":"imap_inotify","hostname":"x","pid":18679,"level":30,"msg":"Running /usr/local/bin/mbsync test","time":"2017-12-14T12:25:38.349Z","v":0}
{"name":"imap_inotify","hostname":"x","pid":18679,"level":30,"msg":"Running /usr/local/bin/mbsync test","time":"2017-12-14T12:25:39.573Z","v":0}

Any idea on what I am doing wrong? It seems I am very close now..

Many thanks

onNewMail is an alias for onNotify. To trigger callback on specific events use the next form:

"onNotify": {"mail": "/usr/local/bin/mbsync test"},

For more details, see README.md.

Thanks, I tried to put exports.onNotify = {"mail": "/usr/local/bin/mbsync test"}; in my config.js file and I get this error:

/usr/lib/node_modules/imapnotify/node_modules/printf/lib/printf.js:31
  content = str.slice(lastIndex);
                ^

Looks like an instance of #15

[2Belette]

@rasendubi thanks and good tips!

I was using exports.onNotifyPost = "/usr/bin/true"; but it seems that all events need to be defined if not I got the empty error occured.

This seems to do the trick: exports.onNotifyPost = {"mail": "/usr/bin/true", "update": "/usr/bin/true", "expunge": "/usr/bin/true"};

[rasendubi]

@2Belette, I believe #20 should fix that.
