Email address verification broken

[jimrandomh]

Email address verification worked in v1.8, and was broken in the process of upgrading to Meteor 1.7.

In meteor:accounts-base, the accounts actions reset-password, verify-email and enroll-account are handled as a group; eg in accounts_server.js and their URLs are defined together. Since Vulcan isn't using hash-style routing and has its own UI, it overrides the routes here and here - but doesn't handle verify-email at all. So email address verification doesn't work; calling Accounts.sendVerificationEmail sends an email with a hash-style URL in it that doesn't work, and rewriting it to a non-hash-style URL doesn't work either.

Hi @jimrandomh , I've worked a bit on the accounts part lately and I will add support for email verification, it is indeed a necesary feature.

Accounts.sendVerificationEmail sends an email with a hash-style URL in it that doesn't work, and rewriting it to a non-hash-style URL doesn't work either.

What have you tried to fix this ? From what I see you need three things to make this work:

• set Accounts.urls.verifyEmail = token => Meteor.absoluteUrl(verify-email/${token});
• add a route to react-router : addRoute({name: 'verifyEmail', path: '/verify-email/:token', componentName: 'AccountsVerifyEmail'});
• Create the component AccountsVerifyEmail to call Accounts.verifyEmail and display a message
