I am trying to set up mailer as indicated in the documentation

However, when I execute the command
yarn rw setup mailer

I get the error

I am using redwood version 7.6.3. Can anyone assist me on this problem? Thank you!

Update:
I tried the command by setting up a brand new redwood project and I received the same error. Is it the case for everyone?

Also, I am using node v20.11.1

Thanks for raising this issue! I’ll attempt to reproduce this and then get a fix out when I’ve corrected it.

Thank you very much! The mailer function looks quite functional from what I saw in the tutorial, it’d be very beneficial.
