In attempting to render an email, Bamboo is throwing me errors:

Looking at this specific line:
(bamboo_phoenix 1.0.0) lib/bamboo_phoenix.ex:291: Bamboo.Phoenix.render_text_or_html_email/1
I decided to trace that back to its source:
cond do
String.ends_with?(template, ".html") ->
email |> Map.put(:html_body, render_html(email, template))
String.ends_with?(template, ".text") ->
email |> Map.put(:text_body, render_text(email, template))
true ->
raise ArgumentError, """
Template name must end in either ".html" or ".text". Template name was #{
inspect(template)
}
If you would like to render both and html and text template,
use an atom without an extension instead.
"""
end
The string, near as I can tell, ends with “html” as far as Elixir/Phoenix is concerned, as it’s named contact-email.html.eex (or the other one I have so far, response-email.html.eex). I’m not trying to use both html and text [yet], so no atom is being sent. The function(s) calling it look like this:
On the controller
def send(conn, %{"email_params" => email_params} = params) do
case validate_changeset(email_params) do
{:ok, contact_form} ->
contact_form
|> EmailBuilder.response_email()
|> Mailer.deliver_later()
conn
|> put_flash(:info, "Email sent")
|> redirect(to: Routes.index_path(conn, :index))
{:error, changeset} ->
conn
|> put_status(:unprocessable_entity)
|> put_flash(:error, "Please fix the errors below.")
|> redirect(to: Routes.page_path(conn, :contact, changeset: changeset))
end
In my email_builder.ex:
def response_email(contact_form) do
base_email()
|> to(contact_form.email)
|> subject("We've Received Your Email")
|> render("response-email.html")
end
def contact_email(contact_form) do
base_email()
|> to({"Info", "[REDACTED]"})
|> assign(:contact_info, contact_form)
|> subject("[CONTACT] A New Contact Has Arrived!")
|> render("contact-email.html")
end
defp base_email do
new_email()
|> from({"Unaffiliated Studios", "[REDACTED]"})
|> put_html_layout({UnaffiliatedStudiosWeb.LayoutView, "email.html"})
end
I cannot see where the error is coming from. I acknowledge that it’s likely right in my face and inexperience is causing some blindness there.
