Bitbucket pipeline, Email not getting send to me when attachment is a zip file

[Shubhendu Pandey]

Hi, 
When I try to send an HTML file as an attachment then I am able to receive an email from the bitbucket pipeline but when I am trying to send a Zip file then I am seeing a error "Failed to send email to email@email.com. Check your configuration settings."

Note: I am not the admin of this repository, Do I need to ask an admin to make some changes?

Yml file , Attachment is an HTML file

custom: # Pipelines that can only be triggered manually
  QA2: # The name that is displayed in the list in the Bitbucket Cloud GUI
  - step:
      image: openjdk:8
      caches:
      - gradle
      size: 2x    # double resources available for this step to 8G
      script:
      - apt-get update
      - apt-get install zip
      - cd config/geb
      - ./gradlew -DBASE_URL=qa2 clean BSchrome_win
      - cd build/reports
      - zip -r testresult.zip BSchrome_winTest

      after-script: # On test execution completion or build failure, send test report to e-mail lists
      - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.3.11
        variables:
          <<: *email-notify-config
          TO: 'email@email.com'
          SUBJECT: "Test result for QA2 environment"
          BODY_PLAIN: |
            Please find the attached test result report to the email.
          ATTACHMENTS: config/geb/build/reports/BSchrome_winTest/tests/index.html

Yml file, attachment is a zip file

custom: # Pipelines that can only be triggered manually
  QA2: # The name that is displayed in the list in the Bitbucket Cloud GUI
  - step:
      image: openjdk:8
      caches:
      - gradle
      size: 2x    # double resources available for this step to 8G
      script:
      - apt-get update
      - apt-get install zip
      - cd config/geb
      - ./gradlew -DBASE_URL=qa2 clean BSchrome_win # This step fails 
      - cd build/reports
      - zip -r testresult.zip BSchrome_winTest 

      after-script: # On test execution completion or build failure, send test report to e-mail lists
      - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.3.11
        variables:
          <<: *email-notify-config
          TO: 'email@email.com'
          SUBJECT: "Test result for QA2 environment"
          BODY_PLAIN: |
            Please find the attached test result report to the email.
          ATTACHMENTS: config/geb/build/reports/testresult.zip

UPDATE:-

Found out that, My zip file includes a ".js" that's why I can't send it as an attachment, 

One solution I think is to create an artifact and send a bitbucket pipeline link in the email, but many business people have not accessed to repo

Another solution could be to send it as a drive attachment. I like this one but I am not sure how to send zip file as a drive attachment using "atlassian/email-notify:0.3.11" ?

Hello @Shubhendu Pandey , thank you for reporting.

As a workaround I can propose two solutions:

- zip archive without executable files , due to security , indeed, you are right, google does not allow such files to prevent some malware https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6584

- or send drive link in a message if this satisfy your case

It is also a good idea for writing custom pipe that will be uploading your archive to drive. Follow this guide How to write custom pipe

I implemented a different report that doesn't create a.js file. I will checkout the custom pipe.Thanks
