Laravel mail pretend prints nothing

Question

I set \'pretend\' => true, in the mail.php, created this new.php view:

    

        E-mail: {{          


        
      

Answer 1

If you actually want to view the contents of the message (for instance when testing user account verification or password reset emails) in the /storage/logs logfile; You can modify your local copy of vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Mail/Mailer.php and in the logMessages function modify it to look like

protected function logMessage($message)
{
    $emails = implode(', ', array_keys((array) $message->getTo()));
    $body = $message->getBody();
    $this->logger->info("Pretending to mail message to: {$emails} :-: {$body}");
}

Then you will see the body of the message in the logs.
