Emails Not Sending

Some advice, concentrate on one problem at a time when asking for help. By asking another two questions in the same thread you have just complicated the situation and no-one will know which problem to respond to. So here concentrate on sorting your google authentication problem. To ask the other questions start new threads with appropriate subject lines. Also it is no good asking people to go and look at an app you have cloned, no-one has the time for that. You must ask targeted questions about specific issues you are having and show us the specific bit of code that you are having trouble with.

As a RoR novice myself, I can tell you that you are NOT doing your home work before asking questions ... you are NOT putting in the necessary time, patience and resolve required to find a solution for YOURSELF ...

However, in about 15 secs I found on the internet a possible hint to what your problem is

I use devise with Google apps hosted email which requires ssl. I'll post the configuration tomorrow.

put this code in

config/environments/development.rb

  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true   config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :domain => "mail.gmail.com", :user_name => “youremail@gmail.com", :password => “gmail-password", :authentication => "plain", :enable_starttls_auto => true }

The following snippets are a working example of setting up ActionMailer/Devise using a domain email account hosted on Google Apps with Rails 4.2/Ruby 2.2.1. This is different than using regular Gmail account which only requires you to go into the account settings and turn on “Access for less secure apps”. This setting isn’t available for the former. You must use SSL instead.

From development.rb:

Devise configuration settings

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => ‘localhost:3000’}

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

From setup_mail.rb:

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => ‘smtp.gmail.com’, :port => ‘465’, :authentication => ‘plain’, :user_name => ‘example@example.com’, :password => ‘yourpassword’, :domain => ‘yourdomain@example.com’, :ssl => true }

This is a great video tutorial on setting up devise:

I would also advise using mailcatcher in development...you don't need gmail in development -- only maybe when you deploy to test production settings...

Nice tip. Thanks.
