Devise Mailer EOF 500 status error


I'm new to ActionMailer, but I've also read the documentation on it. I am just not sure how Devise is handling it. I'm using Rails 5.1, yet I can't get the Devise mailer to work in development.

I get the following error when I try get the reset password email in development:

EOFError in Devise::PasswordsController#create
{"utf8"=>"✓",
 "authenticity_token"=>"token info",
 "user"=>{"email"=>"user@email.com"},
 "commit"=>"Send me reset password instructions"}

In the server log:

EOFError (end of file reached):

I've set up my config/environments/development.rb:

  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

  # Using MailCatcher server -- running @ 1080
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { address: "localhost", port: 1080 }

I have the MailCatcher server running. When I set 'raise_deliver_errors' = false, I get a flash saying the message is sent, but MailCatcher never receives anything.

I'm a little confused, every single thing I've researched says I only need to do this to make it work -- I don't want to play with the Devise Controllers if I don't have to.

Thanks!


Solution

  • What I did was just turn this line of code from

    config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
    

    into

    config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test
    

    The views came up in the log, and when I configured Sendgrid on production the emails were sent properly.

    Edit: this is in the development.rb file
