Error when trying to send a test email

[Conorc1000]

I have attempted to set up sendemail https://github.com/OxfordAbstracts/application/tree/abb964f5ed020d8e65abd47e57e89a231ee575dc/src but when I try to run my email.js file i get the following error,

Could this be because the the sendemail module is not able to find my config.env file?

Ah, the mandrill error may be more telling than you think in this @Conorc1000 as we're replacing Mandrill with SES

@Conorc1000 good question. Which version of sendemail are you using? see: https://github.com/dwyl/sendemail/blob/d5bdaa1f14fd8cf5a8ef9aae074963678c9dcab9/lib/index.js#L1

[nelsonic]

there's your problem... go with v.2.0.0 :wink:

@Conorc1000 are you still having issues sending email? can you describe the steps you've gone through and/or link to the branch where your code is?

[Conorc1000]

Hi @nelsonic yes changing the version of the module fixed the mandrill error. However now there is this error.

Here is the link to the branch

https://github.com/OxfordAbstracts/application/tree/abb964f5ed020d8e65abd47e57e89a231ee575dc

see application/src/sendEmail/

I have set up my AWS account with SES, and the email address I am trying to send to is verified within the sand box environment. I have also had my account upgraded so that emails can be sent outside of the sandbox environment.

@Conorc1000 which email address is it complaining about? I'd recommend you update to version 2.0.1 of sendemail and ensure you have the SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS environment variable set to an email address that you have verified on AWS SNS. see:https://github.com/dwyl/sendemail#2-set-your-environment-variables

[Conorc1000]

ok i've changed to v2.0.1 and ive added a sender email, my gmail account linked and verified on my AWS account. The problem now seems to be the file paths

I cant seem to find a way of getting the right path to my templates. Could this be because im trying to just run the email.js file by itself node /Users/conorcampbell/Documents/DWYL/application/src/sendEmail/email.js and not running the whole server?

[nelsonic]

Running the file by its' self should not cause you issues. The issue is in relative path of templates directory...

[Conorc1000]

The code works if I remove line 19 from index.js in the module.

Is this a feasible fix?

[nelsonic]

@Conorc1000 sure, if that works for you and the tests still pass, please PR the change. 👍

[nelsonic]

@Conorc1000 still seeing this issue? (if not please close...)

[Conorc1000]

Yes Sendemail is working well
