can''t find view from Mailer?

Hi everyone,
Like so many other here, I too am new to Rails (and Ruby), and so far 
it''s been a great experience. I haven''t been able to get
around one
problem though. When trying to use the mailer, I recieve an error like 
this:

ActionView::ActionViewError in Tell_friend#send_email

No rhtml, rxml, or delegate template found for send_to_friend

The scenario is this:
A form on a page is submitted to a controller "tell_friend", action 
"send_email".
In tell_friend_controller.rb''s send_email(), mail is sent like this: 
TellFriend.deliver_send_to_friend(params[:address])

The model, tell_friend.rb, contains this:

class TellFriend < ActionMailer::Base

        def send_to_friend(address)
                # Email header info MUST be added here
                @recipients = address
                @from = xx-q89RzV0OsXQ@public.gmane.org
                @subject = "Hello World"

                # Email body substitutions go here
                @body["address"] = address
        end

end


Now, send_to_friend.rhtml *is* present in views/tell_friend/. But the 
error message would seem to indicate that it is not the case.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Doug

Re: can''t find view from Mailer?

Can you post all the code in tell_friend_controller.send_email() as  
well as any other code in tell_friend.rb (the mailer)?

Thanks.

Re: can''t find view from Mailer?

Hi Steven,

Here''s the controller code:

class TellFriendController < ApplicationController
        def send_email
                flash[:email_notice] = "E-mail sent to 
#{params[''address'']}."
                TellFriend.deliver_send_to_friend(params[:address])
                # Go back to the post they were viewing
                redirect_to :controller => ''view'', :action
=>
''view_post'', :params => {''id'' =>
params[:id], :address =>
params[:address] }
        end
end


And here''s the mailer code:

class TellFriend < ActionMailer::Base

        def send_to_friend(address)
                @recipients = address
                @from = xx-q89RzV0OsXQ@public.gmane.org
                @subject = "Hello World"

                # Email body substitutions go here
                @body["address"] = address
        end

end


Also, if anyone has any unrelated advice on the above code I''d love to 
hear it too.

Thanks again,
Doug

Re: Re: can''t find view from Mailer?

Quick question, what directory does tell_friend.rb (the mailer)  
reside in?

Also, do you have any sort of stack trace from when the error occurs?

Thanks.

I tried a few filename combos trying to figure out what it''s looking

Finally, the stack trace:

Re: Re: Re: can''t find view from Mailer?

I think you''ve pretty much done things the right way.  I''ve
heard of
a couple of problems when there are extraneous views in the directory  
where the mail template is (app/views/tell_friend).  As far as the  
mailer goes, I believe the only one you need is send_to_friend.rhtml  
so I''d remove the others from that directory if possible.  Also,  
while it should make no difference, can you change your code in  
tell_friend_controller.send_email to something like the following  
just to see if a different error is produced:

	email = TellFriend.create_send_to_friend(params[:address])
	TellFriend.deliver(email)

instead of

	TellFriend.deliver_send_to_friend(params[:address])

Also, you may want to consider using a different name for your mailer  
(such as TellFriendMailer) as there _may_ be some sort of conflict  
with other views used in conjunction with the TellFriendController  
(which may be why there are other views in apps/views/tell_friend).   
If you do make this change, then you''d need to move  
send_to_friend.rhtml to the app/views/tell_friend_mailer directory.

Hi,
I tried your suggestions twice, still no luck. Pretty bizarre. I think 
I''ll just outsource the emailing to a perl script for the time being, 
until I figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Re: Re: Re: can''t find view from Mailer?

Hi ,
 I was facing similar problems but I was able to send an email using
sendmail finally. I created a directory called
my_mailer in  {RAILS_ROOT}/apps/views/test/

MyMailer defined in my_mailer.rb inside the models directory
<<<<<<<<
class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base

def sendmail (recipient)
    recipients recipient
    subject    "test mail"
    from  "vivek-bi+AKbBUZKbby3iVrkZq2A@public.gmane.org"
    body = { :text => "First mail" }
end
end

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
ActionMailer::Base.template_root = "app/views/test"
>>>>>>>><<<<<<Controller code
class TestController < ApplicationController

 def index
   @message = ''riding on rails''
 end

 def mail

  MyMailer::deliver_sendmail ( params[:to] )
  render :text => ''mail sent''
 end
end
>>>>>Does rails require the name to be my_mailer ? and should this have to be
inside models ? Cant we place it inside the controllers? I feel thats a more
natural place
Also the template has to be named  sendmail.text.plain.rhtml  in the
my_mailer directory

The question I have is what exactly needs to go into the view ? I had just
one line

<%= @body[:text] %>

But I get the error

ou have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.[]

Any idea how I can access the body etc?

Thanks
Vivek

I found the possible solution.
Just add
require ''action_mailer''
in the yourmailer.rb

It works for me.
Hopw this helps.
