Sends an email via a specified email provider like Gmail or Outlook. Useful for sending alerts or notifications from AI processes.

This looks like a useful action to have. To verify this manually, here's a suggested approach:

  1. Set up a test email account: Create a dedicated Gmail or Outlook account for testing purposes. This prevents accidental emails being sent from your primary account and keeps things clean.
  2. Configure SMTP settings: Obtain the correct SMTP settings for your chosen email provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). This will include the address, port, authentication type, username, and password. Important: Be extremely careful about storing these credentials securely. For testing, you can hardcode them, but never commit them to the repository. Instead, use environment variables or a secrets management system in a real application.
  3. Create a test script/environment: Instantiate the EmailSendAction with your test SMTP settings and email details (sender, recipient, subject, body). Make sure the 'to' address is one you can access to verify the sent mail.
  4. Run the test: Execute the script/environment and observe the output. The Sublayer.configuration.logger should log a success message. Check the recipient email address to confirm the email was received correctly.
  5. Error handling: Intentionally introduce errors (e.g., incorrect SMTP settings, invalid email address) to verify the StandardError exception handling. Ensure that the error message is logged correctly and that the program doesn't crash.

Example test script (replace with your actual settings):

require_relative 'Email/email_send_action'

# Configure Sublayer logger (replace with your actual configuration)
class Sublayer
  class Configuration
    attr_accessor :logger
  end
  def self.configuration
    @configuration ||= Configuration.new
  end
end

class Logger
  def log(level, message)
    puts "[#{level}] #{message}"
  end
end

Sublayer.configuration.logger = Logger.new

smtp_settings = {
  address:              'smtp.gmail.com',
  port:                 587,
  domain:               'gmail.com',
  user_name:            'your_test_email@gmail.com',
  password:             'your_password',
  authentication:       'plain',
  enable_starttls_auto: true
}

from    = 'your_test_email@gmail.com'
to      = 'recipient_email@example.com'
subject = 'Test Email from EmailSendAction'
body    = 'This is a test email.'

action = EmailSendAction.new(smtp_settings: smtp_settings, from: from, to: to, subject: subject, body: body)

begin
  result = action.call
  puts "Email sent successfully: #{result}" if result
rescue StandardError => e
  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
end

Security Considerations:

  • Avoid committing sensitive information like email passwords directly into the code. Use environment variables or a secrets management system.
  • Consider adding input validation to the from, to, subject, and body fields to prevent email injection vulnerabilities.

By following these steps, you can ensure the EmailSendAction functions correctly and robustly.
