Hi @etyack,

this should be fixed with PR #10837 (Release 0.65.0). Are you sure you're on the latest version?

Cheers

[etyack]

Yes, I double checked since I found the issue you referenced before I submitted this issue.

According to the snap output:
erickt@wiki:~ sudo snap list
Name Version Rev Tracking Developer Notes
core 16-2.32.8 4650 stable canonical core
rocketchat-server 0.65.1 1273 stable rocketchat -

And admin Info output.

Thanks for the quick reply @etyack :)

@Hudell You may want to have a look?

We are unable to Download or Export My Data, too. But in our logs, are no error messages.

Here are the only lines:

I20180613-08:27:05.962(0) Meteor ➔ method requestDataDownload -> userId: dc45SQus6oW8Ajutc , arguments:  { '0': { fullExport: true } }

@phillipplum Can you check your "User Data Download" admin settings? Based on your log, it seems like there's no Processing Frequency configured.

[phillipplum]

@Hudell Here are our settings. We don't change something.

[Hudell]

I'll look into it.

[torgeirl]

@Hudell: I also experience this issue. It seems identical to the others here:

• Email is never received with instructions how to access the chat history
• No error message presented to the user
• No error message in logs

Setup:

• Server version: 0.65.1 deployed with Snap, on Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04 (newest available for snap)
• Default User Data Download settings (enabled, frequency=15m, message limit=100)
• Email verified working. Logging suggests Rocket.Chat server never attempts to send the email.

Please let us know if you need any debugging assistance.

Unfortunately, it still does not work after the update to 0.66.0.

[phillipplum]

Update:
Now _(3-4 hours later)_ I get a e-mail with an download link.
The link looks like this: https://chat.domain/ufs/FileSystem:UserDataFiles/Yu7JK49278JiX8duy/2018-06-28-firstname%2520lastname.zip

But it is a 0kb zip-file and after extracting it I get a file with the same name and at the end .cpgz.

Doesn't work even in latest version.

[jcatarino]

I think this still doesnt work...

Same here with latest docker develop image.

Guys, can you please test this with version 2.0.0 ?

Getting this with 2.1.0-develop, commit 72aaeb3201 which is after the commit that addressed the download.

We are testing the function "Download my Data". Yesterday it works and I get a E-Mail to download the data. After that and today I would to export the data again, because there are many new conversations, that would I save.
Then I click on "Download My Data" I get the message: "Your data file was already generated. Click here to download it."
Then I click on the link I get the data from yesterday again but no new data. How can I get new data?

Version of RocketChat: 3.4.0
