Bug: Bitbucket Pipelines Pipe: Email Notify

Question

Hi,
I think I have found a bug in the Bitbucket Pipeline Pipe "Email Notify" (https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/email-notify/src/master/). The parameter "DISABLE_AUTH" does not work if you set it to "true". The problem is probably that the environment variable can only be passed as a string, but in pipe.py:69 it is explicitly checked for a boolean value.

This could be a correction for this:
from distutils.util import strtobool
disable_auth = os.getenv('DISABLE_AUTH', 'False')
if strtobool(disable_auth):

If I have made a mistake in the usage, I would be grateful for a hint.

BR,
Patrick Comes

Hi @Oleksandr Kyrdan,

I am still having the issue, the pipe does not work with

DISABLE_AUTH: 'true'

It is expecting a boolean value not a string. But we cannot pass a boolean value in pipeline yaml since it gives a syntax error. Any workaround for this?

Hi @Patrick Comes

The new version of the pipe is released:

script:
- pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.13.1
variables:
FROM: 'myemail@example.com'
TO: 'example@example.com'
HOST: 'smtp.gmail.com'
DISABLE_AUTH: true
