Password reset confirmation email is not sent on occ command user:resetpassword

[paurakhsharma]

Description

When the administrator resets the password of a user using the occ command with environment variable OC_PASS and set --sent-email.
sudo -E -u www-data ./occ user:resetpassword newuser --send-email --password-from-env
As expected the password of the user is changed but the email is not sent to the user saying his/her email has been changed.

Is this the expected behavior?

@PVince81 I guess this is a bug?

@paurakhsharma do you already have an acceptance test scenario to demonstrate this?

[paurakhsharma]

@phil-davis, We don't have tests to demonstrate this.
But you should be aware that email is sent when --password-from-env is not used in the occ-command. And we have tests to demonstrate that.
In case (ie. when --password-from-env is used). The user should get an email saying something like Password changed successfully which is the case when administrator changes the user password using the webUI.

Let's make an acceptance test scenario for this.

It is strange that if the sysadmin sets the password by typing it in, then the email is sent, but if the command gets it from the env variable then the email is not sent. I guess there will be some slightly different place in the code path that reads the env variable.
