Deploy emailSendDefinition [4.0.0]

[JoeyNovais]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy some emailSendDefinition using the version 4.0.0 of mcdev. Looking at the documentation it is supported but when I try I always get the same warning/error.
Here I tried the normal way but got this:
14:16:28 warn: ☇ skipping emailSendDefinition: folderType userinitiatedsends not supported for deployment
Then I'm like ok, I should create a new folder to make this work, so I did change the path in the "r__folder_Path" attribute thinking that the tool will create the folder for me but got:
14:16:59 error: ☇ skipping emailSendDefinition DEV_EMEA_HE-45-JNO-Test / DEV_EMEA_HE-45-JNO-Test: Dependent folder with Path='HCP_Engagement_Test' was not found on your BU
So I don't know how to resolve this because I don't know how and if we can create other folders for those kind of activities. I also try to retrieve the folders to check if I could create it from the dev tool but I didn't found the solution.

Any ideas ? :)

@DougMidgley - for what reason did we exclude that? Can't remember. Seems we need to improve that error message

hi @JoeyNovais
bit late but - I just looked at your question again and I think I misunderstood your issue. WARNINGS are just that. There COULD be an issue, but there isn't one just yet. ERRORs signal something did indeed go wrong.

The warning here was just supposed to tell you that folders for the type you tried to deploy (emailsenddefinition) cannot be deployed.
I created a PR that changes the wording of that warning to be more explicit about the implications:
#587

It will be released with 4.2.0
