Getting started with rails isn't easy about mailgun-ruby HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you provide more details to the issue?

from mailgun-ruby.

Tried this in my Gemfile
gem 'mailgun-ruby', '~>1.0.5', require: 'mailgun'
It didn't installed, tried following
gem 'mailgun-ruby', '~>1.0.2', require: 'mailgun'
It installed.

Mailgun.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = 'your-secret-key'
end

there are two api keys(private/public) in mailgun account, i guess above refers to the private key.

After this I can see ActionMailer is sending emails in the server logs but niether they are delivered nor I can see them in mailgun account logs.

Does it work with ActionMailer for rails or we need to use Mailgun::Client.new("your-api-key") every time we send emails ?

For gem 'mailgun-ruby', '~>1.0.5', require: 'mailgun' part of your troubles, that was a mistake. There actually isn't a version 1.0.5 (see #51).

I think the term "secret-key" implies your private key, but if that isn't clear, maybe we can modify the readme.

After adding this gem, you'll actually be using the gem to send messages, not ActionMailer. With mailgun_rails gem, you set mailgun as the delivery handler for ActionMailer. mailgun-ruby is just to help you access Mailgun with plain ol' ruby and isn't intended to be an Rails plugin (but totally can be).

To use it in Rails a good setup would be to have a config file with your keys and an initializer to access those. Like this gist, that way you're not putting your secrets in your code.

@atinder Are you still having this issue?

from mailgun-ruby.

yes, actually I was looking for more of Rails friendly gem. mailgun_rails seems to be solving my problem.

Alright, glad you found something that works for you! I'll try to make this library more Rails friendly. Thanks for the comments!
