(FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in Base.encode64/2

sahilpaudel

I am trying to send attachment inside email from my phoenix application using Bamboo.

Library used:
nimble_csv
bamboo
bamboo_smtp

The attachment is in-memory data that I am getting after parsing the CSV and making some changes into it. I don’t want to save the CSV file so using the in-memory approach.

def dump_to_csv(list) do
    [~w(ORIGINAL_URL NEW_URL)] ++ list
      |> ShortnerParser.dump_to_iodata()
      |> prepare_mail
      |> Mailer.deliver_later
  end

def prepare_mail(data) do
    attachment = %Bamboo.Attachment{content_type: "application/octet-stream", filename: "shortner.csv", data: data}
    Email.send_csv("myemail@gmail.com", attachment)
  end

Error I am getting:

[error] Task #PID<0.1556.0> started from #PID<0.1492.0> terminating

You need to pass in a binary, rather than iodata.

How can I do that can you please help me with that?

Sorry that was lame question below method did the trick.

def convert_to_binary(data) do
    data
      |> IO.iodata_to_binary
  end

Thanks.

You can simply use the to_string function.

I could be wrong, but I think to_string is not equivalent to IO.iodata_to_binary. to_string expects a list of codepoints, but IO.iodata_to_binary expects any integers in the list to be bytes:

iex(2)> "hełło" |> String.to_charlist |> IO.iodata_to_binary
** (ArgumentError) argument error
    :erlang.iolist_to_binary([104, 101, 322, 322, 111])
iex(2)> "hełło" |> String.to_charlist |> to_string          
"hełło"

I don’t know if this makes any difference if what you start with is an iolist though.

Interesting nuance. It’s just that I very early learned to use to_string on iolists and kind of never questioned it because it always worked well (and without botching encoding).
