Issues with MailGun

I'm attempting to add MailGun as my email provider, but running into some issues - whenever I attempt to use mailgun, I get a dependency error from ts-mailgun:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '__agent_base_https_request_patched__')
at ../../../node_modules/proxy-agent/node_modules/agent-base/patch-core.js (ts-mailgun.js?v=6165f70e:822:23)

I investigated this and whilst there's little info online, I did find this on stackoverflow which says that version 0.5 (the version of wasp) has the issue, and 0.18 fixes it - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50906419/cannot-read-property-validate-of-undefined-in-mailgun-js I am using wasp v0.13.2

Hi @CamBlackwood. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The knowledge sources provided do not contain information about the specific error you're encountering with ts-mailgun and Wasp. However, I can guide you on how to set up Mailgun as your email provider in Wasp. You need to set the provider to Mailgun in the main.wasp file and then get the Mailgun API key and domain and add them to your .env.server file. Here is how you can do it: In your main.wasp file:
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun,
}
}
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun,
}
}
In your .env.server file:
MAILGUN_API_KEY=
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=
MAILGUN_API_KEY=
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=
You can get the API key and domain by creating an account on Mailgun, creating a new API key and domain, and then adding them to your .env.server file. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the Wasp documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/email#using-the-mailgun-provider). For the specific error you're encountering, I would recommend reaching out to the Wasp community on Discord (https://discord.gg/rzdnErX) or via email at [email protected] for more assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @CamBlackwood, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

Sorry, I should also add that as far as I can tell my env file is correct. (api key and domain), happy to DM these to a wasp team member though to verify

Sorry for dropping the ball on this, I still haven't tested this out 😢 @CamBlackwood did you manage to resolve this one?
CamBlackwood

Still broken for me unfortunately

So, I've tested it out like this with Wasp 0.13.2:
app mailgunTest {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.2"
},
title: "mailgun-test",
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun
},
server: {
setupFn: import { setupServer } from "@src/serverSetup"
}
}

route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
app mailgunTest {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.2"
},
title: "mailgun-test",
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun
},
server: {
setupFn: import { setupServer } from "@src/serverSetup"
}
}

route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";

export async function setupServer() {
console.log("Server setup started.")
const result = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "Wasp",
},
subject: "Test email",
text: "Hello, this is a test email.",
html: "<h1>Hello, this is a test email.</h1>",
})
console.log("Email sent, result:", result)
}
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";

export async function setupServer() {
console.log("Server setup started.")
const result = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "Wasp",
},
subject: "Test email",
text: "Hello, this is a test email.",
html: "<h1>Hello, this is a test email.</h1>",
})
console.log("Email sent, result:", result)
}
and env vars:
MAILGUN_API_KEY=3c40b68e8ed65d50447ae6e5d95c614d-6fafb9bf-XXXXXXX
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=sandbox6de6c429ca134b5bb6aa28f06449XXXX.mailgun.org
MAILGUN_API_KEY=3c40b68e8ed65d50447ae6e5d95c614d-6fafb9bf-XXXXXXX
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=sandbox6de6c429ca134b5bb6aa28f06449XXXX.mailgun.org
And it worked for me 😄

Thanks for your support and help @miho 🙂 But I’m still having the same issue. I adapted your setup for my contact form where I want to use emailSender, but I'm still getting the same error that @CamBlackwood mentioned.

const handleSubmit = async (event: React.FormEvent) => {
event.preventDefault();

try {
const result = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "App Test",
},
subject: "Test email",
text: "Hello, this is a test email.",
html: "<h1>Hello, this is a test email.</h1>",
});
console.log("Email sent, result:", result);
setFormStatus('Email sent successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to send email:", error);
setFormStatus('Failed to send email');
}
};

const handleSubmit = async (event: React.FormEvent) => {
event.preventDefault();

try {
const result = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "App Test",
},
subject: "Test email",
text: "Hello, this is a test email.",
html: "<h1>Hello, this is a test email.</h1>",
});
console.log("Email sent, result:", result);
setFormStatus('Email sent successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to send email:", error);
setFormStatus('Failed to send email');
}
};

It's weird because Mailgun integration works perfectly for user registration verification 🤔 Any ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks again! 🙏

can confirm I've got the exact same issue as well. Are you using open saas @Janus ? Wonder if that could be the issue

Oh yeah, you are using wasp/server/email imports in the client code? That is not possible 😄 One more for the detecting server imports on the client issue. https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/2067 @martinsos You need to create an action which uses the emailSender and then you need to invoke the action from the client 🙂

@miho in situations like this I just pop a comment in that GitHub issue with link to Discord, to accumulate information + emphasize how much of an issue it is. Did it now for you!

CamBlackwood
CamBlackwoodOP7d ago
This issue was that I was trying to invoke server code on the client 🙂 was an easy fix one i sorted that
