Laravel 5 Reset password notification won't send

Question

I'm trying to implement the default reset password notification in my Application, but when I try to do password reset, nothing happens it will just say "We have e-mailed your password reset link!" but when I try to check my mailbox no email has been sent by my applications.

I did all necessary configuration on my application: Email Driver, Database Set-up

But there are some part of the Laravel i did changed: User Model, User Table Migration

Table Columns I did changed.

id, name, US_EMAIL, password, remember_token, created_at, updated_at, EMP_POSITION, FACTORY, CONTACT, SIGNATURE, ONLINE, DATE_ONLINE, ADMIN, LOCK

I did nothing on the reset password table, all fields are intact from the default laravel migration.

While I'm trying to debug my application it seems when I try to reset my password the application can successfully save the data to "password_resets" table but again I still cannot receive email reset notification.

I also did look to this trait, i tried to "Dump and Die" to see where the process goes after I click "send password reset link" and it seems the application can still proceed to this trait because it still display the "dd" message.

    <?php

namespace Illuminate\Auth\Passwords;

use Illuminate\Auth\Notifications\ResetPassword as ResetPasswordNotification;

trait CanResetPassword
{
    /**
     * Get the e-mail address where password reset links are sent.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getEmailForPasswordReset()
    {
        return $this->EMAIL;
    }

    /**
     * Send the password reset notification.
     *
     * @param  string  $token
     * @return void
     */
    public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
    {
        dd('Test SendPasswordNotification');
        $this->notify(new ResetPasswordNotification($token));
    }
}

I also did look to this but when I try to "Dump and die" to the "toMail" function it did not proceed. I was thinking maybe the application won't send an email because it cannot proceed to this class, I'm just guessing but i hope there's anyone can help me to this.

    <?php

namespace Illuminate\Auth\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;

class ResetPassword extends Notification
{
    /**
     * The password reset token.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public $token;

    /**
     * Create a notification instance.
     *
     * @param  string  $token
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($token)
    {
        $this->token = $token;
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification's channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array|string
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['mail'];
    }

    /**
     * Build the mail representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
     */
    public function toMail($notifiable)
    {
      dd('Test ToMail');
        return (new MailMessage)
            ->line('You are receiving this email because we received a password reset request for your account.')
            ->action('Reset Password', route('password.reset', $this->token))
            ->line('If you did not request a password reset, no further action is required.');
    }
}

Update: I can send email using my .env email settings, I think the application can authenticate to the email server i used. The only problem is i cannot receive email notification for the password-reset and also it does not display any error after i click "send password reset link".

Answer 1

I finally found where the problem is.

When i change the email column from the user table to "US_EMAIL" there is a function from the Illuminate\Notifications trait that retrieves the email column.

Illuminate\Notifications

  public function routeNotificationFor($driver)
{


    if (method_exists($this, $method = 'routeNotificationFor'.Str::studly($driver))) {
        return $this->{$method}();
    }


    switch ($driver) {
        case 'database':
            return $this->notifications();
        case 'mail':
            return $this->email;
        case 'nexmo':
            return $this->phone_number;
    }
}

Solution:

on the "routeNotificationFor" function i changed this line "return $this->email;"

to:

to " return this->US_EMAIL;"
