A few weeks ago I created a mailer object to send an email whenever a new "Thing" was created. It worked without a hitch, but I then commented out the relevant lines and didn't deal with it for a while. Today I tried it again, and nothing happened. I discovered that the email account I was using had been disconnected for some reason, so I tried it with another email account. Still nothing. Does anyone have a guess for why it might not be doing anything, or how I can debug it? I'm sure the username/password/domain are accurate.
config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'gmail.com',
user_name: 'username',
password: 'password',
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
app/mailers/user_mailer.rb
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: '[email protected]'
def notify(user)
@user = user
mail(to: @user.email,subject: "Notification")
end
end
app/views/user_mailer/notify.html.erb
<html>
<head>
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>First paragraph</p>
<p>Second paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
app/controllers/users_controller.rb
def create
#...
UserMailer.notify(@user).deliver
end
Try this:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host:'localhost', port: '3000' }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'localhost:3000',
user_name: '[email protected]',
password: 'password',
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
