Cannot render email templates without a template engine

[youssef67]

Good morning,

I am currently working on version 6 to build API and I am trying to send an email to register. I performed the node ace make:view emails/verify_email command to generate the resources/views/emails folder.

When I run the code in charge of execution

import mail from '@adonisjs/mail/services/main'

export default class EmailService {
  static async sendActivationEmail(
    email: string,
    token: string,
    name: string | null,
    urlBase?: string
  ) {
    const activationUrl = `${urlBase}/activate?token=${token}&email=${encodeURIComponent(email)}`

    console.log('class EmailService - sendActivationEmail')

    await mail.send((message) => {
      message
        .from('info@test.com')
        .to(email)
        .subject('Activate Your Account')
        .htmlView('emails/verify_email', { email, activationUrl, name })
    })
  }
}

I get an error

/var/www/api-rb/node_modules/@adonisjs/mail/src/message.ts:50
        throw new RuntimeException('Cannot render email templates without a template engine')
              ^

You probably forgot to install and configure edge

Docs here: https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/views-and-templates/edgejs

TLDR : just run node ace add edge

[youssef67]

thanks for your answer this command but i had an error

[ error ] npm install edge.js exited with a status of 1. at normalizeResult (/var/www/api-rb/node_modules/@jsdevtools/ez-spawn/lib/normalize-result.js:31:11) at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/var/www/api-rb/node_modules/@jsdevtools/ez-spawn/lib/async.js:79:19) at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:519:28) at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:294:12)

I just saw the node ace add edge command in detail and simply added

() => import('@adonisjs/core/providers/edge_provider')

in the adonisrc.ts file.

I no longer have the error. However, I have a problem with my Google ID and password.

OK Ok, I had to enable two-factor authentication and create a new password

I found the solution here, I'll let go if necessary
