flarum-ext-digest not sending out email

adam42

I installed the Blomstra thread digest recently but haven't been able to get it to email anything.

I went into my own profile and set the digest frequency for myself to daily at 17:00, but not a sausage. Is there a dependency that I didn't notice? The installation seemed to go fine.

There's nothing in the logs I can see.

adam42 is the scheduler running?

adam42 Scheduler status: Never run

Oh, nope.

adam42

OK no need to look, just another dumb user falling between two stools. I don't have access to cron on my host. I'll have to check out what the hosting company suggest.

So I fixed the cron job on my host to run and now I get a daily digest.

I have the same problem. Two users set up to receive daily email digests at 16:00. The Cron job is set up to run every 30 minutes.

On runs before 16:00 it produces the following status message: No scheduled commands are ready to run.

The 16:00 run produces this output: Running scheduled command: '/opt/alt/php82/usr/bin/php' 'flarum' digest:send > '/dev/null' 2>&1

So it seems like the scheduled digest send is executed but neither user receives a digest (and it's not in their Spam folders). Is there a way to remove the piping of the output to null to get some more detail on the send attempt? Or any other diagnostic steps I can try?

I posted in this discussion earlier but I noticed it is tagged as solved so thought I should start a new discussion in case nobody looks at the old one:
