Some PHP requirement is not met

Our extension is developed to incorporate newer PHP features like type hinting, spaceship operators and terniary operators. For this, we recommend that PHP is running at least version PHP 7.1, but we recommend PHP 7.2. The actual requirements are always documented in our composer.json file.

It might be that the very fact that our composer.json file is mentioning a certain PHP requirement is conflicting with another Magento package that has defined a wrong dependency. If you are sure our extension meets the PHP requirements, you can skip this check using the --ignore-platform-reqs flag of composer:

composer require yireo/magento2-emailtester2 --ignore-platform-reqs

Products do not show in transactional email

If you encounter an issue where an email override in your Magento Admin Panel doesn't parse the products output, while the original email does, note that this is not an issue with our extension but with newer versions of Magento. Specifically, since Magento 2.3.4, the following instruction is no longer allowed (specifically, the usage of an $order object in email templates stored in the database):

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}

Either you can migrate your email templates towards newer code that works (where EmailTester will simply support those new variables), or mark your template as legacy. Open up the database table email_template, locate the template_id of the email template in question and set the flag is_legacy to 1.

Does this work together with MagePlaza SMTP?

Yes, it does. The MagePlaza SMTP extension hooks into the Magento TransportBuilder and because of this, they simply work together. Actually, this is leading to one of our recommended test-setups: Install the MagePlaza SMTP extension (or some other similar extension), configure it to use the SMTP details of a testing email provider like mailtrap.io. Next, send the email via EmailTester and it should simply popup in the inbox of mailtrap.
