I've tested each of these attachments methods and none is ok for me. Here's my mailer function code without the smtp transport config :

function mailer(from, to, subject, attachments, body) {

    // Setup email
    var mailOptions = {
        from: from,
        to: to,
        subject: subject,
        attachments: attachments,
        html: body
    };

    // send mail with defined transport object
    smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
        if(error) console.log(error);
        else console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
        // shut down the connection pool, no more messages
        smtpTransport.close();
    });
}

And then the call :

var attachments = [{ filename: 'test.pdf', path: __dirname + '/pdf/test.pdf', contentType: 'application/pdf' }];
mailer("exped@gmail.com", "mymail@gmail.com", "Test", attachments, "
Hello
");

The mail comes successfully but with no attachment. Even if I set a string or buffer attachment it's the same result.
