The validator does not exist. Trying to test email with Valet and MailHog

Kirby 4 Solved ✔️

Hello,

I am trying to do a quick test to see if MailHog is working with Kirby. However, I’m running into a problem.

The issue is this:

Exception thrown with message "The validator does not exist: email"

site/templates/emails/email.php:

We are testing MailHog:

<?php echo $text ?>

site/templates/home.php:

<?php

$kirby->email([
    'template' => 'email',
    'from'     => 'yourcontactform@yourcompany.com',
    'to'       => 'you@yourcompany.com',
    'subject'  => 'Let us test if MailHog works',
    'data'     => [
        'text'   => 'Here is some dummy text',
    ]
]);

I have tested, and I can access the MailHog UI at http://127.0.0.1:8025/. I am using Laravel Valet in case that is relevant.

Thanks in advance!

I seem to have fixed the issue! However, I’m not entirely sure what I did.

Basically, I just moved on to setting up Xdebug and phpmon. The emails started working in the process of getting my .ini files sorted, the correct interpreter selected in PhpStorm, restarting valet, etc.

As long as it works now as it should…
