quota warning sending weird and inaccurate notifications

[tessus]

Steps to reproduce

1. install quota warning 1.15.0 on nc 24.0.10
2. set it up like this

Expected behaviour

I expected that the first field is ignored and only 2 notifications are used.

Actual behaviour

One day later, I get the following email even though my user has no quota at all:

Thus it seems there are 3 issues:

• empty field seems to be translated to 0%
• email was sent, even though unchecked
• the fact that my user has no quota has been ignored

One day later, I get the following email even though my user has no quota at all

This app only acts when the user has at least 5 MB of quota. So not sure if the email you got is actually from this app.

[tessus]

Well, it was definitely from this app. I only got this email 1 day after I installed it. I never had any similar mail before.

And, I do not have a quota set for my user at all.

As I mentioned, it seemd there was an edge case in the internal tests.

I never should have received an email, but also my users did and they have all a quota of 5 GB and none of them were even close to 80% usage.

So the empty value tripped up the app somehow.

After this weird experience I set it to:

and it seems to work since then. No weird emails anymore.

[tessus]

The documentation should probably explain how to only set 1 or 2 quotas:

• only notify at 90%
• notify at 90% and 95%

Leaving the first notification empty did clearly not work.

[ThaDaVos]

Same issue here - for me it's even sending notifications to people that they reached like 80% while not even being on 10% of their quota - currently disabled the app as it's causing a lot of confusion because of this

Apperently mine is related to: #35

[nickvergessen]

Closing as it seems to be working now for tessus and #35 is still open for disk
