I am trying to use Laravel 5.2's default password reset functionality. When I go to /password/reset I get to the password reset page which asks for the user's email. I enter the user's email and the page refreshes but stays on the same page. I got no email and so I check the logs and I am getting this exception:
[2016-02-08 17:18:32] local.ERROR: exception 'Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidationException' with message 'The given data failed to pass validation.' in /repos/kenrose/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Validation/ValidatesRequests.php:68

Does anyone know why or how to figure out why?
Your password reset is failing on this method: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.2/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/ResetsPasswords.php#L61
Are you sure you are posting a value with the name email? Can you show your code as well? :D
@bobbybouwmann I am using laravel's default routes and page. The route is:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
Route::auth();
});
and I can show my route list if helpful and the page that /password/reset goes to is views\auth\password\email and looks like:
@extends('app')
<!-- Main Content -->
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Reset Password</div>
<div class="panel-body">
@if (session('status'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('status') }}
</div>
@endif
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ url('/password/email') }}">
{!! csrf_field() !!}
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('email') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail Address</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}">
@if ($errors->has('email'))
<span class="help-block">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</strong>
</span>
@endif
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
<i class="fa fa-btn fa-envelope"></i>Send Password Reset Link
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

@bobbybouwmann is it failing because no email address is provided in the post? its strange because I was getting a different error when i changed my .env mail settings about not connecting to the smtp server, which I guess means it passed validation, and so its strange that now that i changed some settings its failing receiving the email value
Ok I made a mistake. I guess that exception happened before. I just put Log::info($request->input('email')) in the method you showed me and the email value is being posted and there is no exception. But I am being redirected back to the same page and no email was sent.
Well I'm just saying what I know :P Your form seems fine so you might want to debug a bit. You can see what is posted by doing this
// vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords.php
public function sendResetLinkEmail(Request $request)
{
dd($request->all());
$this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);
}
@bobbybouwmann Yeah, just wrote that the email value is being posted. I guess I'll try debugging and maybe ask a follow-up question here :/ Thanks for responses!
