What issue or error are you experiencing?

Mailpit is not opening. When opening a site, an error: “Missing mailpit v1.12…” appears. When restarting a site the error disappears but the Utilities →Mailpit link doesn’t do anything.
In my Library/Application Support/Local/lighting-services folder is only mailpit-1.24.1+0.

System Details

  • Local Version: 9.2.8+6882

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: macOS 14.6.1

Local Logs

In the local logs there are no references to this error/issue (searching the logs with the string “mailpit”).

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hey @Apeli! Is this with a previously created site or a new blank site?

If it’s a previously created site, then you may want to try reimporting the site getting the errors. The steps would look like this:

  • Locate the site files on your machine, and save a copy of them to your desktop. If you click Go to Site Folder under your site name it should take you right to where they are located.
  • Once you have those copied, completely delete the site from Local
  • Restart Local/your machine
  • Reimport the site back into Local. You can refer here on how to Restore from only Local site files

Thanks Nick, after I posted I noticed that on new sites everything works, so your steps will fix it. Thanks!
