Verification email not sent upon registration until re-send requested; inconsistent with message given to user

[teo1978]

• Laravel Version: 5.7.0
• PHP Version: irrelevant
• Database Driver & Version: irrelevant

Description:

With an out-of-the-box installation of Laravel, with all the Users boilerplate in place (Users table, authentication, email verification), when a user registers, he gets redirected to /email/verify where he gets a message that says:

Before proceeding, please check your email for a verification link. If you did not receive the email, click here to request another.

However, at this stage no email whatsoever has been sent to him. Only when he clicks the link to request "another", he will receive the email verification for the very first time.

Steps To Reproduce:

• register as a new user

Expected behavior

Either you send the user an email verification email immediately (which would be the sensible choice as all websites do today), or you tell him that he needs to explicitly request one, if that is the case.

Observed behavior

No email is sent upon registration. However, this misleading message:

Before proceeding, please check your email for a verification link. If you did not receive the email, click here to request another.

suggests that an email has already been sent.

I’m unable to reproduce this issue — works for me.

Are you able to reproduce this error using the latest minor (5.7.*) release?

What?? Nope, this is a bug. Another thing is whether it's already fixed in a version later than the one I'm using. I'll try to check that.
Or is this not the right repository? I did my best to post the issue to the right repo, is there a separate one for the default application that comes out of the box when installing Laravel?

@teo1978 did you have this fixed? have the same issue

[teo1978]

did you have this fixed?

@vkyeswa no.

@ahinkle I have just upgraded and yes.

However, obviously I can only upgrade the framework core. I'm not sure whether the bug is there, or in the application space, that is the boilerplate application that gets created when you create a project. I can't upgrade that. If it's the latter, and if it's fixed there, then a way should be provided to get it fixed on existing projects.

Either way this needs to be reopened (shouldn't have been closed in the first place).

The docs were updated to include the fix...
In order to send the email when a user is registered, you should register following events and listeners in your App\Providers\EventServiceProvider class:
