No "View notifications" link in an empty Echo notification
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

I don't know if this is a bug in Echo or in the way OpenStackManager integrates with it, but I got this empty notification just now:

Happened to me too. The text body needs links.

For comparison, the HTML summary mail I got August 20 from enwiki had:

  Talk page message
  _Jeph paul_ left a message on your talk page in "The edit visualization tool...".
	 _View all notifications_

so it links name and lets me see all notifications.

The plain/text in the same summary e-mail didn't link the name but provided the View all notifications link:

Talk page message:=20

 =E2=80=A2 Jeph paul left a message on your talk page in "The edit visualiz=

ation tool...".

"You have a new notification" is a default notification message for email if a notification type doesn't define such message.

Ahh, so my notifications from Wikitech are all special ones from the OpenStack integration code, like:

Hashar built instance 'deployment-sql03' in project Nova Resource:Deployment-prep

I'll file a bug for it to define a message.

however, Echo's text message in this case should still have

View all notifications:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications

in it, so I changed the bug summary.

This looks like a misconfiguration of the openstack notifications for echo, .
