my email has no message and attachment

Your assigning $path but it does not show in your code.

Code:

$file = $path . '/day1/attachments/somenote.txt';
// maybe it should be, you do not use a full url.
$file = '/day1/attachments/somenote.txt';

Check and see if your getting any errors.

Code:

$this->email->print_debugger();
