parse.com cloud code can't send email via mandrillapp - parse-platform

Question

I'm trying to send an email via parse.com via mandrill. The examples are very easy to follow, but I'm getting a strange error.
here is my code:
Parse.Cloud.afterSave("ip", function(request) {
var IPLogger_config = require('cloud/mandrillapp_config.js');
var Mandrill = require('mandrill');
Mandrill.initialize(IPLogger_config.mandrillAppKey);
console.log('within afterSave for ip');
console.log(request.object.id);
var ip = Parse.Object.extend("ip");
var query = new Parse.Query(ip);
query.descending("createdAt");
query.limit(2); // limit to at most 2 results
query.find({
success: function(results){
console.log('success query');
console.log('got ' + results.length + ' results');
var newestIp = results[0];
var olderIp = results[1];
if (newestIp.get('ip') == olderIp.get('ip') ) {
// the newest ip and the older one are equal, do nothing.
console.log('No ip change');
} else
{
console.log('ip change!');
console.log(Mandrill.initialize);
console.log(Mandrill.sendEmail);
Mandrill.sendEmail({
message: {
text: "The IP of your server has changed! The new ip is: " + newestIp.get('ip') ,
subject: "The IP of your server has changed!",
from_email: "parse#cloudcode.com",
from_name: "IPLogger",
to: [
{
email: IPLogger_config.your_email,
name: IPLogger_config.your_name
}
]
},
async: true
},{
success: function(httpResponse) {
console.log(httpResponse);
response.success("Email sent!");
},
error: function(httpResponse) {
console.error(httpResponse);
response.error("Uh oh, something went wrong");
}
});
}
},
error: function (error){
console.log('no success for query');
console.error("Got an error " + error.code + " : " + error.message);
}
});
});
my mandrillapp_config.js looks like this:
var IPLogger_config = {};
IPLogger_config.mandrillAppKey = "xxx";
IPLogger_config.your_email = 'myemail#bla.com';
IPLogger_config.your_name = 'myName';
The mandrillAppKey is correctly set. I double checked that. Sending email from mandrill website also works. I just created a new account and did no other settings on the mandrill site.
I'm getting this error: "code":-1,"name":"ValidationError","message":"You must specify a key value". In https://www.parse.com/questions/sometimes-getting-mandrill-you-must-specify-a-key-value-error-when-sending-email is written that the header might be wrong, but as you can see on my log, the "Content-Type":"application/json; charset=utf-8" is set correctly.

Where can be the problem? any ideas how to get it running?
thank you very much!

Answer 1

I finally found the problem. There was en error in the config script.
it need to look like this:
var IPLogger_config = {};
IPLogger_config.mandrillAppKey = "xxx";
IPLogger_config.your_email = 'myemail#bla.com';
IPLogger_config.your_name = 'myName';
exports.IPLogger_config = IPLogger_config;
in the main.jsfile, the resources of the config file need to be called like this:
var config = require('cloud/mandrillapp_config.js');
Mandrill.initialize(config.IPLogger_config.mandrillAppKey);
and now it works fine.
