i've had email working within laravel for a few months now, but decided it's probably time to move them into a queue rather than slowing down users' page loads.
However, as soon as i switch to the database queue driver i get the following error:
local.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Method Swift_Message::__toString() must not throw an exception' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tp/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Mail/Transport/MailgunTransport.php:0
If i switch back to sync driver, everything works again.
Could this be something to do with permissions, or different users running different jobs?
For reference the queuing is:
Mail::queue('emails.new_team', [], function($message) use ($team)
{
$message->to('hiden@hidden.co', 'hiden');
$message->from('hiden@hiden.co', 'hiden');
$message->subject($team->name.' - Team Just Created!');
});
With new_team email containing (admin is one of my routes):
@extends('emails.baseemail')
@section('content')
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-weight: 900; font-size: 25px;">Theres a new team!!</h2>
<div style="margin: 20px 0;">
<a href="{{ url('admin') }}">Go to Admin</a>
</div>
@stop
And Base email containing:
