Grails email log

In Grails, you can log emails sent using the log method of the Email class. Here are the steps to enable email logging in Grails:

1. Configure logging: In your Config.groovy file, add the following configuration:

   log4j = {
    //...
    root {
        info 'stdout'
    }
    //...
   }

   This sets the root logger to log to the console at the INFO level.

2. Configure email logging: In your Config.groovy file, add the following configuration:

   grails {
    //...
    email {
        log {
            level = 'DEBUG'
        }
    }
   }

   This sets the email logger to log at the DEBUG level.

3. Use the log method: In your email sending code, use the log method to log the email:

   def sendEmail() {
    def email = new Email()
    email.to = '[email protected]'
    email.from = '[email protected]'
    email.subject = 'Test Email'
    email.body = 'This is a test email'
   
    email.log 'Sending email...' // Log the email sending
    email.send()
   
    email.log 'Email sent successfully!' // Log the email sending result
   }

   In this example, the log method is used to log the email sending and result.

4. View the log output: Run your Grails application and send an email using the sendEmail method. The email sending and result will be logged to the console.

Note: You can also use a logging framework like Logback or Log4j to configure email logging. For example, you can add a custom logger to your logback.xml file:

<logger name="grails.email" level="DEBUG" />

This will log emails sent at the DEBUG level.
