I have followed the instructions https://github.com/typesafehub/play-plugins/tree/master/mailer twice within my project and also within a brand new sample project to no avail. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

I follow the instructions in a fresh proejct (play new mailer-test) and get the following. It seems to me that either the import statement is incorrect or the plugin is configured incorrectly - but haven't a clue where to look next.

Not sure if this is progress, but it smells like it.

In looking at the plugin jar that was pulled down to my machine, I see that the documentation at https://github.com/typesafehub/play-plugins/tree/master/mailer seems to be wrong. Instead of adding "com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin" to my previously non-existent conf/play.plugins file, the package should be "com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.X". For "X" I've used both the CommonsMailerPlugin and the MailerPlugin but neither have worked. As I'm using the default/sample Java app I'm just stuffing the example send mail code into the autogenerated application controller:

package controllers;

import play.*;
import play.mvc.*;

import views.html.*;

import com.typesafe.plugin.*;
import com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.*;

public class Application extends Controller {

public static Result index() {
 MailerPlugin mail = play.Play.application().plugin(MailerPlugin.class);
 mail.setSubject("simplest mailer test");
 mail.addRecipient("some display name <some...@email.com>");
 mail.addFrom("some dispaly name <somef...@email.com>");
 mail.send("A text only message", "<html><body>An html message</body></html>" );

 return ok(index.render("Your new application is ready."));
}

}

The errors I'm getting now are

[error] Application.java:15: cannot find symbol
[error] symbol : method setSubject(java.lang.String)
[error] location: interface com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.MailerPlugin
[error] mail.setSubject("mailer");
[error] ^
[error] Application.java:16: cannot find symbol
[error] symbol : method addRecipient(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
[error] location: interface com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.MailerPlugin
[error] mail.addRecipient("Peter Hausel Junior <nor...@email.com>","exa...@foo.com");
[error] ^
[error] Application.java:17: cannot find symbol
[error] symbol : method addFrom(java.lang.String)
[error] location: interface com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.MailerPlugin
[error] mail.addFrom("Peter Hausel <nor...@email.com>");
[error] ^
[error] Application.java:18: cannot find symbol
[error] symbol : method send(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
[error] location: interface com.typesafe.plugin.notifiers.MailerPlugin
[error] mail.send("sometext", "<html>somehtml</html>" );
[error] ^
[error] 4 errors

Which don't seem to make much sense because the source (visible at https://github.com/typesafehub/play-plugins/blob/master/mailer/src/main/scala/com/typesafe/plugin/MailerPlugin.scala) looks like this should work great.

What am I missing?

I'm having the same issue. Would be nice to see someone from the team comment on this; and/or update the documentation :)

the plugin definitely needs to be referenced as com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin

I will try it out from a simple java project and see what might be wrong.

[error] mail.addRecipient("Peter Hausel Junior <nor...@email.com>","example@foo.com");

I removed the package notifier from the source (it was a bad copy and paste) and republished, please delete the previous version from your ivy repo.

OK, it compiles now from java. here is a sample (the mail server still needs to be configured)

Hi Peter,

thanks for your work! But unfortunately when I follow your instructions from the given link, when I start the play server I get an exception, it is solved by using

1500:com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin

as it is used in the example project (actually I have no clue what 1500: means), so maybe the README.md should be updated to avoid confusion. Many thanks anyways!

best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas, thanks for the heads-up - fixed the readme (1500 is determining the order in which the given plugin should be executed)

Just executed a fresh test from dead scratch. Luckily, testing your work doesn't take much time. As you can see in this screenshot, it didn't work.

Perhaps your documentation needs to be updated?

Hi,

Are you sure you have the latest version of the plugin ?

as I mentioned in this thread before, you might need to delete the previous version from your local ivy cache

sendHtml takes a String which could be coming from say a rendered template. using sendHtml will send the email as html.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Is it possible that there is such error in the code of Scala?

Here is my compilation error :

You do not have an implicit Application in scope. If you want to bring the current running Application into context, just add import play.api.Play.current

val mail = use[MailerPlugin].email

^

When I do it, application.conf doesn't compile for this part, it write that I have to add double quotes :

smtp.host (mandatory)

smtp.port (defaults to 25)

smtp.ssl (defaults to no)

smtp.user (optional)

smtp.password (optional)

Thanks for help,

Pascale

You mean you added the suggested import and then got the double quotes error?

You should set it up like so

smtp.host=hostname

smtp.port=port

smtp.ssl=true or false

smtp.user=emailaddress

smtp.password=yourPassword

So it would look something like this

smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com

smtp.port=587

smtp.ssl=true

smtp.user="dmsho...@gmail.com" <- needs double quotes

smtp.password=blahblah

K, I got that error now. Let the import as I said, and create a new file conf/play.plugins with that content :
"1500:com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin"

Have a good day!

Hi All,

I followed the steps provided above, setting up Build.Scala and play.plugins, but I kept getting this error on compilation:

update: sbt.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: org.ow2.spec.ee#ow2-atinject-1.0-spec;1.0.10: several problems occurred while resolving dependency: org.ow2.spec.ee#ow2-atinject-1.0-spec;1.0.10 {compile=[compile(*), master(*)], runtime=[runtime(*)]}:

The error has a long list, but some of the messages are similar. Is there some steps that I am missing?

Thanks for the help.
