Function MyWeb.Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug.init/1 is undefined

I am working on an umbrella application that contains a separate Phoenix and Ecto application (my_web and my_app).

Then I Install the Bamboo email library for sending emails on the Phoenix App my_web. Bamboo can view the sent emails by using the Phoenix controller. I follow the configuration as described in the documentation.

# in config file (config/config.exs)
config: my_web, MyWeb.Mailer,
  adapter: Bamboo.LocalAdapter

# In Router
defmodule MyWeb.Router do

  if Mix.env ==: dev do
    # If using Phoenix
    forward "/ sent_emails", Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug

  end
end

However, there is an error message:
MyWeb.Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug.init / 1 function is undefined

It is wrong because the correct one is Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug module, not MyWeb.Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug.

Any ideas to resolve this are appreciated.

Thank you.

Take a look here if you haven’t https://hexdocs.pm/bamboo/Bamboo.LocalAdapter.html#content

This part

Example config

# In config/config.exs, or config/dev.exs, etc.
config :my_app, MyApp.Mailer,
  adapter: Bamboo.LocalAdapter,
  open_email_in_browser_url: "http://localhost:4000/sent_emails" # optional

# Define a Mailer. Maybe in lib/my_app/mailer.ex
defmodule MyApp.Mailer do
  use Bamboo.Mailer, otp_app: :my_app
end

Thank you for the response. I have read and follow the documentation before, and do as you suggested, but the error is still there.

OK, start the server with:

mix phx.server

Then navigate in the browser to http://localhost:4000/sent_emails

Then copy the full error and post if on the forum.

This might make it easier to understand what is going on.

This is the error

Can you please show us your full router.ex?

It might be that you have omitted something important…

Do you really have a space here? If so delete the space and write

forward "/sent_emails", Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug

Does it work now?

There is no space on the forward route. Here is the full router.ex

defmodule MyWeb.Router do
  use MyWeb, :router
  #use Phoenix.Router

  pipeline :browser do
    plug :accepts, ["html"]
    plug :fetch_session
    plug :fetch_flash
    plug :protect_from_forgery
    plug :put_secure_browser_headers
  end

  pipeline :api do
    plug :accepts, ["json"]
  end

  scope "/", MyWeb do
    pipe_through [:browser, MyWeb.Plugs.Guest]

    get "/", FrontPageController, :index

    resources "/register", UserController, only: [:create, :new]
    get "/login", SessionController, :new
    post "/login", SessionController, :create

    get "/verify", UserController, :verify_email_from_user

    # Email Development route
    if Mix.env == :dev do
      forward "/sent_emails", Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug  
    end
  end

  scope "/", MyWeb do
    pipe_through [:browser, MyWeb.Plugs.Auth]

    delete "/logout", SessionController, :delete

    get "/page", PageController, :index

    resources "/user", UserController
  end

  # Other scopes may use custom stacks.
  # scope "/api", MyWeb do
  #   pipe_through :api
  # end
end

Just take it out of the scope. Move those 3 lines in your router.ex:

    if Mix.env == :dev do
      forward "/sent_emails", Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug  
    end

down one line (after the scope’s end) and I think it should be fine.
