Laravel 7 internal server error 500 when sending email

I’m having some trouble with sending email using laravel. I’ve looked around the stackoverflow for solutions but none worked so far. Here’s my env and code so far.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.googlemail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=myemail.gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_SETUP=false

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=myemail.gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Namehere"

and this is my mail.php file

'smtp' => [
        'transport' => 'smtp',
        'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.googlemail.com'),
        'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 465),
        'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'ssl'),
        'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
        'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
        'timeout' => null,
        'auth_mode' => null,
    ],

  'from' => [
    'address' => env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'myemail@gmail.com'),
    'name' => env('MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'myemail@gmail.com'),
],

Now this is my code. It’s just a simple to test the email function. This is the class created in mail folder

<?php

namespace AppMail;

use IlluminateBusQueueable;
use IlluminateContractsQueueShouldQueue;
use IlluminateMailMailable;
use IlluminateQueueSerializesModels;

class NewTicketMail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $details;

/**
 * Create a new message instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct($details)
{
    $this->$details;
}

/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->subject('Mail from ')->view('emails.new_ticket_mail');
}
}

and this is the route called

Route::get('send-email', function(){
$details = [
    'title'=> 'New Ticket Received',
    'body' => 'We have received your ticket and will process it. Please do not reply to this 
   email'
];

 Mail::to('receiver@gmail.com')->send(new AppMailNewTicketMail($details));
return view('emails.thanks');
});

the route works if i commented out the Mail to line. any suggestions? I’ve been at it for hours.

Answer

In your mail class you are accessing a properties property which does not exist.

Rather in your mailable constructor do something like

public function __construct($details){
    $this->details = $details;
}

This is for sure one issue. As laravel will throw an unknown property error.

P.s. make sure your env has debug as true if you are not seeing errors in your logs.
