[TYPO3-dev] Autoloading fails for "contrib" class

Hi Caspar, hi everybody,
 
very good catch - that did the trick!

Bingo! Manually requiring the Swift autoloader did resolve the issue. With
the current git version of TYPO3 the path is slightly different though:
(contrib/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php) but nevertheless it works now…


And with that in mind, I spotted another resolution, avoiding the manual
call to require():

Make sure to *first* create a MailMessage object
(via ObjectManager->get('TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\Mail\\MailMessage') and *then*
create the attachment.

That way the Swift autoloader is already in place when accessing the
\Swift_Attachment::fromPath() method. In my code I did it the other way round,
first creating the attachment – which left me without the autoloader at that
stage.



A big THANK YOU for helping!
