Email settings can't be changed

[gcommit]

Hello,

when i setup a Cachet and enter my Mailserver data, after finishing the process, the data is reset to default like "localhost"

If i once again change the data in the settings section and press "Save" it is again reset to default.

What can i do?

Best regards

Hi, are you sure you're hitting save? I also have this reset problem, but only when I hit the Test button.

I think i can read. The Button with "Save" on it, is the right one, yes?

Of course i am hitting the Save button....

I'm sorry if that sounded impolite. I didn't mean to offend you.

I just wasn't sure because I couldn't reproduce the problem. I only had the problem when I pressed the test button.

Now I have found the mistake on my side: After I entered the values and pressed save, I had to reload the page. Now I see the same result as you described.

It looks like the problem exists when you reload the page. After pressing the test button, the page is reloaded. That's why I only got the result when I pressed the save button.

I have already found out the following:

• When saving, a POST request is sent to dashboard/settings/mail.
• This executes SettingsController.php::postMail
• This creates the UpdateConfigCommand
• The UpdateConfigCommand is executed by the UpdateConfigCommandHandler.
• The UpdateConfigCommandHandler writes the values from the request into the env file
• The values for the email settings are not loaded from the env file

I have found out that it is a cache error. The configuration is in the cache, as is the configuration for the emails. Simply writing to the .env file is not enough. It must also be reloaded / the cache must be cleared.

I suggest something like:

// Clears the cached config like artisan config:clear does.
if (app()->configurationIsCached()) {
    $this->files->delete(app()->getCachedConfigPath());
}

After writing to the env file in the UpdateConfigCommandHandler.

Note: $this->files is \Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem

Yes. When i write it to the .env file and restart Cachet, it is shown in the Admin Webinterface. But NEVER when i change something in the Admin Webinterface, it is written to the .env file

Hi I also encountered the same issue using cachet-docker installation. Where should I put that fix you mentioned?

UpdateConfigCommandHandler

UpdateConfigCommandHandler.php
