I had mentioned this in IRC but it seemed folks were busy.

I'm trying to send out a test mail from a CiviMail email blast (step 4 of 5 I believe). When I enter in a specific person's email, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in ..snipped...../sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php on line 338

I'm using CiviCRM 3.1.5 (had issues during the upgrade to 3.2.5 had to rollback, will upgrade later), PHP 5.2.13, and Drupal 6.x.  All other email address I've tried are able to get the test email without a problem, but this one user's email address gives that error. I've tried pulling up her contact screen and sending an email to her through there, and have had no problem

I'm a bit at a loss of what to do, any ideas on what to look for?

I'll try to recreate issue later today.  Regarding the other questions: Yes, contact was in my database prior to attempting to send test email, and still is after attempting to send.

we could bypass error easily but in that case that contact could not receive test mail.

so would like to take some close look.

firstly u might want to take a look at our demo site and try to replicate issue http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/

some questions :
1. does that contact already exist in your civicrm database ?
2. after getting error, could u check do you have contact in database ?
( u could check from any UI and contact search for with your test email address )

let us know your findings.

I wanted to report the same issue with CiviCRM 3.1.4 - when trying to test newsletter by sending it to one email address, we get the same error:
<code>
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in [..]/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php on line 334
</code>

That error occurs when the test email used is an email that already exists in the CiviCRM database. There is no error when sending test newsletter to the Test Group that is made of CiviCRM contacts.
So this is our workaround for now - create a group (we called it "Newsletter Test") and add one or more contact to it that are suppose to receive the test newsletter.

I could not recreate the same error on the 3.4 demo site but I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that the mailing configuration is not setup there? I never received a test email when sending from the demo site.

What I noticed on the site that had issues (returning an error when trying to email test newsletter to an individual):
- the table civicrm_email had that particular email address listed twice
- when checking the related contacts, one of those email addresses was linked to non-existing contact.

Is it possible that the error is/was related to the record that was deleted but the email address of it was left behind and now the error is caused by that broken link?

Sorry Lobo,
Got stuck with other projects, haven't look into this thread for a while.
Let's coordinate that investigation soon
