email - Loopback Verify User with lb-mandrill-connector: Uncaught AssertionError: template name should be defined -

i'm trying send email mandrill through loopback user.verify method i'm stucked in error:

uncaught assertionerror: template name should defined 

googleing around found pr on loopback: https://github.com/strongloop/loopback/pull/1517/files

but seems has not been merged brake travisci tests...

from pr, tried workaround in code:

let options = {     type: 'email',     port: '80',     to: ac.email,     from: app.get('emailfrom'),     subject: 'thanks registering.',     verifyhref: verifyhref,     template: null,     user: ac };  var template = loopback.template(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../server/views/verify.ejs')); options.html = template(options); 

but seems loopback set default template if no specified, suggestion?

i'm running on loopback#2.18

the solution here not user.verify generate token , call user.save , proceed call mandrill.

context.req.app.models.user.generateverificationtoken(user, function (err,token) {     if (err) {         return next(err);     }      user.verificationtoken = token;     user.save(function (err) {         if (err) {             next(err);         }         else {             var url = 'http://' + config.host + ':' + config.port + '/api/users/confirm?uid=2&redirect=/&token=' + token;             var mandrill_client = new mandrill.mandrill('xxxx');
