Devise emails sending as plaintext.

[dgobhai]

attempting to isolate the problem, I have disabled tracking

# config/environments/production.rb
Rails.application.configure do
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sparkpost

# config/initializers/sparkpost_rails.rb
SparkPostRails.configure do |c|
  c.api_key       = ENV.fetch('SPARKPOST_API_KEY')
  c.sandbox       = false
  c.track_clicks  = false
  c.track_opens   = false
  c.transactional = false
end

Emails sent with our custom mailer are sending fine, however Devise generated emails: Forgot password, are sending as plaintext when they should be html.

I'm trying to figure out what devise is doing with type, still looking...

Continuing investigation on a new rails app: https://github.com/dgobhai/sparkpost

Docs say config file/block is not necessary:

Note that an initializer file is not required to use this gem. If an initializer is not provided, default values will be used. See "Additional Configuration" below for a list of all the default settings.

but it seems to be. Here is the error output from heroku log when attempting to send a forgot password email from devise:

After adding the config:

SparkPostRails.configure do |c|
  c.api_key       = ENV.fetch('SPARKPOST_API_KEY')
  c.sandbox       = true
end

The logs show an html email being sent:

The issue with the configuration file is:

  def self.configure
    self.configuration ||= Configuration.new
    yield(configuration)
  end

except .configure is never called, unless you add a configuration file - which the docs say is not needed. Not sure what you'd like to change: code or docs.

The same issue for me, any workarounds?

[AfolabiOlaoluwa]

Team please respond to to this. Same with me.

[johnjansen]

include both a text and html template and things should all work just fine

[webzorg]

So, just add this to the initializer

SparkPostRails.configure do |c|
  ...
  c.html_content_only = true
end
