Mail not sent; to enable sending, set the MAIL_URL environment variable - meteor

I'm just trying to send verification email in Meteor, based on this docs: https://github.com/Shekharrajak/meteor-email , it returns the error below. I followed the doc verbatim.
My code
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
if (Meteor.isServer){
Meteor.startup(() => {
process.env.MAIL_URL="smtp://mygmailaddress%40gmail.com:mypassword#smtp.gmail.com:465/";
});
Email.send({
to: "sendeto#yahoo.com",
from: "sendfrom#gmail.com",
subject: "Example Email",
text: "The contents of our email in plain text.",
});
}
Error message:

What am i to do right? Please assist.

check this link Maybe you have misconfigured the system with mailgun.
Use the package meteorhacks: ssr more practical to send and personalize the mail.

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
Meteor.startup(function () {
if(Meteor.isServer) {
process.env.MAIL_URL="smtp://mygmailaddress%40gmail.com:mypassword#smtp.gmail.com:465/";
Email.send({
to: to,
from: "sendfrom#gmail.com",
subject: "Example Email",
text: "The contents of our email in plain text.",
});
});
}

Or you can export the MAIL_URL in the terminal before you run meteor, like this:
export MAIL_URL="smtp://yourGmailAddress:yourPassword#smtp.gmail.com:587"

Though I finally used gmail, the simple mistake I was making is not adding the email in the meteor is server method: Thanks for the contribution.
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
if (Meteor.isServer){
Meteor.startup(() => {
process.env.MAIL_URL="smtp://mygmailaddress%40gmail.com:mypassword#smtp.gmail.com:465/";
Email.send({
to: "sendeto#yahoo.com",
from: "sendfrom#gmail.com",
subject: "Example Email",
text: "The contents of our email in plain text.",
});
});
}

Handle 422 with $fetch

I'm upgrading a project to Nuxt3 and I'm using the new $fetch to hit my API, all it's OK but I can't manage the handle the 422 error from the API.
The API I've created would return something like this for the 422 code
{ message: "The email has already been taken.", errors: { email: ["The email has already been taken."]}}
Then in Nuxt I'm using this:
$fetch(`${runtimeConfig.public.BASE_API_BROWSER_URL}/XXX/`, {
method: 'POST',
body: {
...data
}
})
.then((resp) => {
message.value.push(resp.message)
isSubmitting.value = false
})
.catch((error) => {
errors.value.push(error.message)
isSubmitting.value = false
})
But what I have back is just FetchError: 422 Unprocessable Content instead of the error inside the API response, any idea on how to able to use error.message again?
Should be typically accessible via error.response.message.
For better visibility of the error object structure, use console.dir to explore its contents in the browser console: console.dir(error)
Unlike console.log(var1, var2, var3), console.dir only handles one attribute.
Important to remember this else you will be misled to thinking variables are empty.

Highlighted message in command prompt when running test on K6

I'm studying the execution of performance tests using K6.
Doing the Postman login test scenario, the result was positive:
Running the test with Postman
I exported the Postman collection and did the file conversion for K6 to recognize it.
Then, when running the test through K6, the following is returned:
Running the test with K6
This detail caught my attention:
✗ Successful POST request
↳ 0% — ✓ 0 / ✗ 1
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Edit: This is the print with the complete result after running the test.
Result
Edit 2: I'm putting the generated script that is being executed by K6, hiding only the address and login information:
// Auto-generated by the postman-to-k6 converter
import "./libs/shim/core.js";
import "./libs/shim/expect.js";
export let options = { maxRedirects: 4 };
const Request = Symbol.for("request");
postman[Symbol.for("initial")]({
options
});
export default function() {
postman[Request]({
name: "New Request",
id: "2140438e-8869-4836-ae80-7c5845d09572",
method: "POST",
address: "https://xxxx-xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/public/auth/signin",
data: '{\r\n "username": "xxxxxxxxxxx",\r\n "password": "xxxxxx"\r\n}',
post(response) {
pm.test("Successful POST request", function() {
pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([201, 202]);
});
}
});

Error while instanciating Restivus "Cannot find name 'Restivus' "

I imported restivus using :
meteor add nimble:restivus
And while using Restivus I encounter this error on meteor startup :
"Cannot find name 'Restivus' ".
I can although GET requests but I wonder if it impacts the behavior of the app.
Here is the code used :
if (Meteor.isServer) {
// Global API configuration
var Api = new Restivus({
apiPath: 'api/',
prettyJson: true
});
}
When receiving POSTs my request.body and my bodyParams are empty :
Api.addRoute(':id/test', {
post: function () {
var id = this.urlParams.id;
console.log("Body contains : ");
console.log(this.bodyParams);
return {
status: 'success',
url : 'post test from id: '+id,
body : this.bodyParams
};
}
});
Does anyone know how to make this error disappear and if this is linked to the POST body problem ?
If you use Meteor 1.4+ you can try to import Restivus to your file with something like this:
import Restivus from 'nibmle:restivus';
The problem with post body being empty was caused by the request I made :
I wasn't specifying the Content-type header.
Once I specified the "Content-Type": "application/json" it worked.
The "Cannot find 'Restivus' " Error is still here though.
Your code looks ok. Here is some code from a server-only file that I am using:
// Global API configuration
var Api = new Restivus({
useDefaultAuth: true,
prettyJson: true,
apiPath: 'restAPI/',
defaultHeaders: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json;encoding="UTF-8"' }
});
// Generates: GET, POST on /api/items and GET, PUT, DELETE on
// /api/items/:id for the Items collection
Api.addCollection(Policy);
Perhaps you should move your code to the server directory? I am on Meteor 1.3.4.

Meteor: How to pass a value to a Meteor.settings variable from terminal?

Here is a code I have in my serveur directory in a file called main.js:
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.startup(function() {
return Meteor.Mandrill.config({
username: Meteor.settings.username_mail,
key: Meteor.settings.key_mail
});
});
}
I am using Mandrill to send e-mail and I would like to know how can I set the following
username: Meteor.settings.username_mail,
key: Meteor.settings.key_mail
I tried to run export METEOR_SETTINGS='{"username_mail":"user#mail.com", "key_mail":"fjbvbfvbfbvfjvf”}’ in my terminal but is does not work. I just can not figure out a way to configure it form the terminal.
Thanks.
meteor --settings yoursettings.json
If only there were some official docs which explained such basic things.

How can I create users server side in Meteor?

In the new Meteor auth branch how can I create users server side?
I see how to create them client side with the call to
[Client] Meteor.createUser(options, extra, callback)
But suppose I want to create a Meteor user collection record on startup?
For example, the Administrator account during startup/bootstrapping for an application?
Thanks
Steeve
On newer versions of meteor use
Accounts.createUser({
username: username,
email : email,
password : password,
profile : {
//publicly visible fields like firstname goes here
}
});
note: the password hash is generated automatically
On older versions of meteor use:
1 - NB: DO YOU HAVE THE REQUIRED PACKAGES INSTALLED ?
mrt add accounts-base
mrt add accounts-password
On some versions of meteor you cannot call SRP password salt generator as Steeve suggested, so try this:
2 - do Meteor.users.insert( )
e.g.
var newUserId =
Meteor.users.insert({
emails: ['peter#jones.com'],
profile : { fullname : 'peter' }
});
note: a user must have EITHER a username or an email address. I used email in this example.
3 - Finally set the password for the newly created account.
Accounts.setPassword(newUserId, 'newPassword');
Probably it's a well known fact now, but for the sake of completing this - there's a new server API for doing this on the auth branch. From the docs on auth:
" [Server] Meteor.createUser(options, extra) - Creates a user and
sends that user an email with a link to choose their initial password
and complete their account enrollment
options a hash containing: email (mandatory), username (optional)
extra: extra fields for the user object (eg name, etc). "
Please note the API is subject to change as it's not on the master branch yet.
For now this has been suggested in the meteor-core google group.
Meteor.users.insert({username: 'foo', emails: ['bar#example.com'], name: 'baz', services: {password: {srp: Meteor._srp.generateVerifier('password')}}});
It works. I tested it in during startup/boot strap.
I would not consider this the permanent or long term answer because I believe the auth branch is still in a great degree of change and I imagine the team behind Meteor will provide some kind of functionality for it.
So, do not depend on this as a long term answer.
Steeve
At the moment, I believe you cannot. Running
Meteor.call('createUser', {username: "foo", password: "bar"});
comes close, but the implementation of createUser in passwords_server.js calls this.setUserId on success, and setUserId cannot be called on the server unless we're in a client-initiated method invocation (search for "Can't call setUserId on a server initiated method call" in livedata_server.js.
This does seem like something worth supporting. Perhaps the last three lines of createUser, which log the user in, should be controlled by a new boolean login option to the method? Then you could use
Meteor.call('createUser', {username: "foo", password: "bar", login: false});
in server bootstrap code.
I've confirmed that the following code in my server/seeds.js file works with the most recent version of Meteor (Release 0.8.1.1)
if (Meteor.users.find().count() === 0) {
seedUserId = Accounts.createUser({
email: 'f#oo.com',
password: '123456'
});
}
Directory (or folder) of server means I'm running the code on the server. The filename seeds.js is completely arbitrary.
The official documentation now describes both the behavior for Accounts.createUser() when run on the client and when run on the server.
Working coffeescript example for Meteor version 1.1.0.2 (server side):
userId = Accounts.createUser
username: 'user'
email: 'user#company.com'
password: 'password'
profile:
name: 'user name'
user = Meteor.users.findOne userId
I struggled for some time with this API getting 'User already exists' exception in working code before adding profiles.name to the options and exception disappeared.
reference: Accounts.createUser(options,[callback])
Create user from server side
// Server method
Meteor.methods({
register: function(data) {
try {
console.log("Register User");
console.log(data);
user = Accounts.createUser({
username: data.email,
email: data.email,
password: data.password,
profile: {
name: data.email,
createdOn: new Date(),
IsInternal: 0
}
});
return {
"userId": user
};
} catch (e) {
// IF ALREADY EXSIST THROW EXPECTION 403
throw e;
}
}
});
// Client call method
Meteor.call('register',{email: "vxxxxx#xxxx.com",password: "123456"}, function(error, result){
if(result){
console.log(result)
}
if(error){
console.log(result)
}
});
