Hi all,

I'm trying to send a test e-mailing using the api (using civi 4.6.9).

I've successfully created the Mail, the MailingJob and the MailingEventQueue items

Mailing Job
        {
            "id": "134",
            "mailing_id": "34",
            "scheduled_date": "2015-10-23 18:30:34",
            "status": "Scheduled",
            "is_test": "1",
            "job_offset": "0",
            "job_limit": "0"
        }

MailingEventQueue
        {
            "id": "48",
            "job_id": "134",
            "email_id": "42",
            "contact_id": "43",
            "hash": "6905d565e6253b28"
        }

But the cron job isn't picking up my mailing job. Is this because the cron ignores jobs flagged with is_test=true ?

I've looked into the code a bit and I think that the form starts the test job itself ..

Form/Test.php

$testParams['job_id'] = $job->id;
    $isComplete = FALSE;
    while (!$isComplete) {
      $isComplete = CRM_Mailing_BAO_MailingJob::runJobs($testParams);
    }

If so is there a way to start test jobs using the api?
