Testing emails?

[allie5]

Hi, I'm working on 3505 and it was simple enough, just changing the macro in the template by checking locale.month_stats in the larger if block rather than inline with the link

{% macro status_item(label, locale, attribute, cls="", url_parameter="", unit="") %}
<p class="item {{ cls }}">
    <span class="bullet {{ url_parameter }}"></span>
    {{ label }}:
    {% if url_parameter and locale.month_stats[attribute] %}
    <a href="{{ full_url('pontoon.translate', locale.code, 'all-projects', 'all-resources') }}?status={{ url_parameter }}">{{ locale.month_stats[attribute] }}{{ unit }}</a>
    {% else %}
    {{ locale.month_stats[attribute] or 0 }}{{ unit }}
    {% endif %}
    (vs. {{ locale.previous_month_stats[attribute] or 0 }}{{ unit }} in the previous month)
</p>
{% endmacro %}

vs before

{% macro status_item(label, locale, attribute, cls="", url_parameter="", unit="") %}
<p class="item {{ cls }}">
    <span class="bullet {{ url_parameter }}"></span>
    {{ label }}:
    {% if url_parameter %}
    <a href="{{ full_url('pontoon.translate', locale.code, 'all-projects', 'all-resources') }}?status={{ url_parameter }}">{{ locale.month_stats[attribute] or 0}}{{ unit }}</a>
    {% else %}
    {{ locale.month_stats[attribute] or 0 }}{{ unit }}
    {% endif %}
    (vs. {{ locale.previous_month_stats[attribute] or 0 }}{{ unit }} in the previous month)
</p>
{% endmacro %}

This might be silly but the thing is I'm not sure the best way to test this change, normally Id send the email and I haven't been able to figure out how to trigger an email. or how to test this statically in a unit test

Hi @allie5,

Thanks for looking into the issue and reaching out!

You should be able to send the emails with the following management command:

./manage.py send_monthly_activity_emails --force

Please note that:

• You'll need to enable Monthly activity summary in http://localhost:8000/settings/.
• The email content will be sent to the console only.
• The command can only be run on day 1 of the month. The --force flag bypasses that.

Let me know if that helps!
