How to write e-mail notification after LaTex build

pascal_schroeer

I want to automatically build a LaTex document (step 1) and after that send the generated .pdf file via e-mail as attachment (step 2).

STEP 1: (WORKS)

image: dme26/latex-builder:latest
  pipelines:
    branches: 
      master: 
        - step:
          script: 
            - pdflatex 
            -jobname=Test Test.tex; - pdflatex -jobname=Test Test; - ls - curl -X POST "https://${BB_AUTH_STRING}@api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BITBUCKET_REPO_OWNER}/${BITBUCKET_REPO_SLUG}/downloads" --form files=@Test

 STEP 2: (ERROR)

- step: 
          script: 
            - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.4.2 
              variables: 
                USERNAME: $EMAIL_ADDRESS
                PASSWORD: $EMAIL_PW
                FROM: $EMAIL_ADDRESS
                TO: $ANOTHER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
                HOST: 'smtp.googlemail.com'
                #ATTACHMENTS: 'Test.pdf' #SEND generated .pdf

Hi @pascal_schroeer ,

thank you for your question!

In your case, artifacts will help you to share generated pdf-file with the next steps:

image: dme26/latex-builder:latest
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
      name: Build the pdf
      script:
        - pdflatex --shell-escape Test.tex
artifacts:
        - Test.pdf
     - step:
       name: Upload to Bitbucket Downloads
       script:
         - pipe: atlassian/bitbucket-upload-file:0.3.2
           variables:
             BITBUCKET_USERNAME: $BITBUCKET_USERNAME
             BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD: $BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD
             FILENAME: 'Test.pdf'
     - step:
       name: Send email
       script:
         - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.4.2
           variables:
             USERNAME: $EMAIL_ADDRESS
             PASSWORD: $EMAIL_PW
             FROM: $EMAIL_ADDRESS
             TO: $ANOTHER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
             HOST: 'smtp.googlemail.com'
             ATTACHMENTS: 'Test.pdf'

Also, it's a best practice to separate build and upload/send steps.

Cheers,
Oleksandr
