[api] test email for campaign api requires all parameters

[iloveitaly]

Version:

• listmonk: 3.0.0
• OS: ubuntu

Description of the bug and steps to reproduce: The /test endpoint seems to require all params that the creation endpoint does. Just passing subscribers returns a validation error.

I ran into this when building https://github.com/iloveitaly/listmonk-newsletter

This is by design. This allows the campaign to be tested before it’s saved to the DB. Having to save every change to the DB only to test it is not ideal.

Got it, that case makes sense.

Does this apply to after the campaign is created and persisted to the DB? Would be better for users if only subscriptions is required to send test emails if the campaign has already been fully created.

The docs state that only subscriptions is required, so I can submit a PR to better document this functionality.

Yep, it always takes the inputs from the form, saved or unsaved, to send the test. Please do send a PR to fix the docs. Thank you.
