I have the following method which sends out an e-mail:
Mail::send('emails.configuration_test', array(), function($email)use($request){
$email->to($request->test_address)->subject('Configuration Test');
});
If the above errors out, I'd like to be able to catch the exception. When I use the following:
try{
Mail::send('emails.configuration_test', array(), function($email)use($request){
$email->to($request->test_address)->subject('Configuration Test');
});
}
catch(Exception $e){
// Never reached
}
the exception is never caught. Instead I get a Laravel stacktrace as the response if the send()
method errors out.
How do I catch the exception in this case?
Using the root namespace \Exception
did the trick.
Instead of:
catch(Exception $e){
// Never reached
}
I used:
catch(\Exception $e){
// Get error here
}
