Exception Emails are not sent in asp.net core 3.1 razor pages

[fingers10]

I'm configuring exceptional email options in my asp.net core 3.1 app. But doesn't seem to work.

here is my start up,

services.AddExceptional(settings =>
{
    settings.Store.ApplicationName = "Exceptional.Web";
    settings.Store.Type = "SQL";
    settings.Store.ConnectionString = "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=ExceptionalDemos;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true";
    settings.UseExceptionalPageOnThrow = false;
    settings.Email.ToAddress = "[email protected]";
    settings.Email.FromAddress = "[email protected]";
    settings.Email.FromDisplayName = "[email protected]";
    settings.Email.SMTPHost = "xxxx.xxxx.net";
    settings.Email.SMTPPort = 0000;
    settings.Email.SMTPUserName = "[email protected]";
    settings.Email.SMTPPassword = "xxxx";
    settings.Email.SMTPEnableSSL = true;
});

I'm using the same to send email in my app and it works,

using (var smtp = new SmtpClient("xxxx.xxxx.net", 0000))
{
    smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
    smtp.EnableSsl = true;
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "xxxx");
    smtp.Credentials = credentials;
    var msg = new MailMessage
    {
        Body = "Error From App",
        Subject = "Error Test",
        From = new MailAddress("[email protected]")
    };
    msg.To.Add("[email protected]");
    await smtp.SendMailAsync(msg);
}

I not able to find out any error messages logged in console. Any ideas on why the exception emails are not getting sent?

Ah, we create this in the bind case (loading config from a file, etc.) but not in code. You could currently manually add it via:

settings.Register(new EmailNotifier(settings.Email));

...but yes, should re-visit how this behaves for code configuration.

Overall, your code can look something like this:

services.AddExceptional(settings =>
{
    settings.Store.ApplicationName = "Exceptional.Web";
    settings.Store.Type = "SQL";
    settings.Store.ConnectionString = "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=ExceptionalDemos;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true";
    settings.UseExceptionalPageOnThrow = false;
    settings.Register(new EmailNotifier(new EmailSettings()
    {
	      ToAddress = "[email protected]",
	      FromAddress = "[email protected]",
	      FromDisplayName = "[email protected]",
	      SMTPHost = "xxxx.xxxx.net",
	      SMTPPort = 0000,
	      SMTPUserName = "[email protected]",
	      SMTPPassword = "xxxx",
	      SMTPEnableSSL = true
	}));
});
