Silent failure on "Work items and direct links" type queries

[bbantahm]

After spending a lot of time trying to debug why this wasn't working (mostly focusing on the SMTP side), I finally thought of the potential problem with the query type. I have several "Flat list of items" shared queries and a few "Work items and direct links" type queries. All queries show up as available choices under "Choose a Query", but only the flat list queries get processed and sent as an email.

If I open the shared query for the ones with direct links and select "Email query" from within DevOps, it emails the results with linked items just fine.

I've just pushed a first version which should support this scenario. Would you mind trying it out? @bbantahm @kumarkaran1 @philcarbone

Thanks!

I'm trying it out now

It is working well with a "Tree of work items". Thanks!

Wonderful, thanks. Closing this then :)
