Celery accesses SMTP configs before exporting event

[kushthedude]

Celery needs SMTP Configuration before exporting the event.

Actual Behaviour :

Without the SMTP configuration, the event export task fails and throws this error.

[2020-02-10 17:16:00,274: ERROR/ForkPoolWorker-2] SMTP & sendgrid have not been configured properly
NoneType: None

Expected :

Event Export should work without the SMTP Configuration too.

How is this an issue?

Why celery needs smtp config to export an event? Why is this not an issue ?

This error is thrown when send_mail function is used

This error is thrown when send_mail function is used

Wasnt this case handled in the #6228 , So why celery again accesses SMTP while exporting ?

@kushthedude What do you mean by before exporting an event? How do you exactly reproduce this?
if this happens after you click on export event,

As soon as I click on export event, The loader appears and the celery throws this error.

Well, in that case, this is not valid. An export event mail task is scheduled which accesses the send_mail function. Check app/api/exports.py
