Laravel Mailgun Integration Issue

Other Questions Mailgun
1

I’m having trouble with the Mailgun package for Laravel. After setting it up, I tried to send a test email using this code:

$emailData = [];
MailService::deliver('emails.greeting', $emailData, function($message) {
    $message->recipient('[email protected]', 'Jane Doe')->topic('Hello!');
});

But I got an error about argument types:

Argument 1 passed to MailService::__construct() must be an instance of ViewRenderer, instance of ViewFactory given

I’m not sure what’s causing this. Has anyone run into this problem before? How can I fix it and get Mailgun working with my Laravel app? I’d appreciate any help or suggestions on troubleshooting this issue.

I’ve dealt with this Mailgun integration headache before. It’s a bit tricky, but here’s what worked for me:

First, make sure you’re using the latest version of the Mailgun package that’s compatible with your Laravel version. Sometimes, these mismatches can cause weird type errors.

Next, check your config/mail.php file. Ensure that ‘mailgun’ is properly set up in the ‘mailers’ array. It should look something like this:

'mailgun' => [
    'transport' => 'mailgun',
],

Also, double-check your .env file. Make sure you’ve set MAILGUN_DOMAIN and MAILGUN_SECRET correctly.

If all else fails, try clearing your config cache:

php artisan config:clear

This fixed it for me when I was banging my head against the wall with a similar issue. Hope this helps!

hey emma, ive seen this before. check ur service provider. make sure ur binding ViewRenderer correctly. also, double-check ur MailService constructor. it might be expecting ViewRenderer but getting ViewFactory. if that doesnt work, try clearing ur cache with php artisan config:clear. hope this helps!

I encountered a similar issue when integrating Mailgun with Laravel. The error indicates that MailService is expecting an instance of ViewRenderer but a ViewFactory is being provided instead. I resolved this by ensuring that the service binding matched the type expected. In my case, I updated the binding in the service provider to correctly bind ViewRenderer to a compatible implementation:

$this->app->bind(ViewRenderer::class, function($app) {
    return new ViewFactory($app['view'], $app['events']);
});

Also, verify that the constructor in MailService is type-hinted properly. If the issue persists, check for any version mismatches between Mailgun and Laravel.
