Script-thrown exception when sending email

Anyone ever seen this before?

I get this error when trying to send a Messaging.SingleEmailMessage...

 

 

public void emailCVToContact(SystemContactRecord contactRecord, List<ID> attachmentIds, String fromEmailAddress, String candidateName) {
        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage singleCVEmail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        
            
        singleCVEmail.setReplyTo(fromEmailAddress);
        singleCVEmail.setSaveAsActivity(false);
        singleCVEmail.setSubject('Candidate CV : ' + candidateName);
        singleCVEmail.setDocumentAttachments(attachmentIds);
        singleCVEmail.setHtmlBody(' This is a test email');
        singleCVEmail.setToAddresses(new String[]{contactRecord.con.Email});
        
        //Now send the email
        try {
        
            List<Messaging.SendEmailResult> emailSendResults = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[]{singleCVEmail}); //ERROR GENERATED HERE!!
            
            for(Messaging.SendEmailResult sentEmailResult : emailSendResults) {
                if(!sentEmailResult.isSuccess()) {
                    //There was a problem sending the email, so print the error messages
                    //to the system logs
                    List<Messaging.SendEmailError> resultsErrors = sentEmailResult.getErrors();
                
                    if(resultsErrors.size() > 0) 
                        for(Messaging.SendEmailError sendMailError : resultsErrors) 
                            System.debug('***** SEND EMAIL ERROR MESSAGE: ' + sendMailError.getMessage());
                }
                //else sent successfully regardless of post problems
                else { 
                    //break out of loop - only single email enabled
                    numberOfEmailsActuallySent++;
                    break;
                }//close else
            }//close for
        }catch(EmailException ee) {
            System.debug('***** THERE WAS AN ISSUE SEND THE QUOTE TO THE DESTINATION EMAIL: ' + ee.getMessage());
        }
    }
 
 I've never seen this before...
Any info appreciated!
Thanks

Fixed it.
Turns out that if I was using the method setDocumentAttachments and was using Id's of records that were of type Notes & Attachments, it wouldn't work.
I created a document and took it's Id, which I used in to test out the method setDocumentAttachments and it worked.
So, I had to take another approach of creating EmailFileAttachments for each attachment and setting this against my email.

Am I missing something?
I have done this before and didn't have issues.  
The error states: (Line 235 is the sendEmail method) 
 
System.NullPointerException: Script-thrown exception



 



Class.SendCVWizardController.emailCVToContact: line 235,
column 64



Class.SendCVWizardController.setupEmail: line 206, column
13 External entry point

I now know that the error is thrown from the setDocumentAttachments method.
I did a system.debug on the attachmentIds list parameter and there is indeed an Id in there for an attachment
but it gives me the error when I run it...
Can figure out why. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello! 
 
I have been messing around for a while with this, my problem was I was setting File Name Attachment to null by mistake. 
 
In my case I was seetting efa.setFileName(myObjectAttachment.Descrpition); while it should be myObjectAttachment.Name
 
Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
efa.setbody(myObjectAttachment.body);
efa.setFileName(myObjectAttachment.Name);
mail.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.emailFileAttachment[]{efa});
 
In my VF I was using <apex:inputFile value="{!myObjectAttachment.Body}" size="100" title="Attachment" fileName="{!myObjectAttachment.Name}"/> to fetch proper fileName. 
 
Hope this helps.
 
Best, 
 
David.
