Issue with 'notify' parameter of collaborate method

[kojimaru14]

Hi there,

I am trying to turn off email notification for collaborate invite,
but the invited person still receives email notification.

Below is the code I am using to do this:

BoxFolder testFolder = new BoxFolder(api, "FolderID");
testFolder.collaborate("Email Address", BoxCollaboration.Role.EDITOR, false, false);

Although I am setting the 3rd parameter ('notify') false,
the invited person still receives an email.

This seems like a glitch to me. Would you be able to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi @lyugaloki — this does look like a bug in the SDK. I'll get started on a fix right away!

I'm having the same issue. How do I get the fix?

@StevenRieger The fix landed in v2.12.0, so as long as you're using at least that version of the SDK you should be able to correctly pass the notify query parameter. That commit includes a passing unit test that appears to show that the parameter is being correctly sent through to the API, and I haven't been able to reproduce the issue myself with the current version of the Java SDK. When I run the following code, the collaboration is created but no email is sent:

String folderID = "12345";
String collaboratorLogin = "invite.email@example.com";
BoxCollaboration.Role collaboratorRole = BoxCollaboration.Role.VIEWER;

BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(api, folderID);
BoxCollaboration.Info collabInfo = folder.collaborate(collaboratorLogin, collaboratorRole, false, null);

So, we may need to do a little troubleshooting — here are some questions that might help us figure out what the issue is:

1. First, are you on a version of the SDK after v2.12.0? If not, upgrading might help.
2. Is there a significant difference between the code you're using and the code I pasted in above? If so, could you try using something like the sample code and see if that helps?
3. What sort of use is initiating the collaboration? I'm not sure if there's any meaningful different here between a normal Managed User vs. an Enterprise Admin vs. a Service Account or App User, but it might be helpful to know just in case.
4. If none of the above is helpful, would you mind sending your API key to us at sdks@box.com? We can take a look and see if there's anything we can find in the server logs that might tell us more about why this isn't working for you.

Strange, my maven pom.xml said version 2.5.0 so I thought I'd have that fix. I changed it to 2.7.0 and sure enough it fixed it. Regards, STeveR
