Method setFrom is deprecated

Question

Method setFrom is deprecated
Declared in Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder
Is there any alternative?

Answer 1

Yes, the alternative is setFromByScope. In fact setFrom is now an alias of it.

For instance, the test file vendor/magento/magento2-ee-base/dev/tests/integration/testsuite/Magento/Rma/Controller/Returns/SubmitTest.php makes use of the scope related method.

Answer 2

With new implementation, magento 2.4 is recommended setFromByScope as an alternative.

Change:

• ->setFrom($this->contactsConfig->emailSender())

To

• ->setFromByScope($this->contactsConfig->emailSender())
