Email action fails with property message null

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I configured an e-mail action in Watcher in Kibana/Elasticsearch 6.1.1 and tried to send an e-mail. The error I get is:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'message' of null
    at http://localhost:5601/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=16350:153:75625

I have tried with gmail and exchange and get the same error. Here is my elasticsearch.yml config for e-mail:

xpack.notification.email.account:
    gmail_account:
        profile: gmail
        smtp:
            auth: true
            starttls.enable: true
            host: smtp.gmail.com
            port: 587
            user: xxxi@gmail.com
            password: xxx

Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks

Here is the complete error:

  optionalFields.body.text = this.body;
                           ^

By the way, is this a bug? Because what happens after that error is that the Kibana process crashes and requires a reboot. This is on windows 7 with everything in 6.1.1.

Hi @Souciance_Eqdam_Rash,

This is the same as Typeerror: cannot read property 'message' of null watcher and will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks, yeah I kind of guessed that. Looking forward to the next release then.
