i am currently writing a mailer, and running into several problems that i have not run into before.. suddenly, rails is asking me for the following: ActionView::ActionViewError (Due to changes in ActionMailer, you need to provide the mailer_name along with the template name. i have changed my my file model to look like this: ,----[ notifier ] | class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base | def files_expiring(user_id) | recipients ''email-Jbz+COfnBihBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org'' | bcc "email-Jbz+COfnBihBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org" | from "email-Jbz+COfnBihBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org" | subject "some subject" | render :file => "notifier/expire_files" | end | end `---- when i run this, everything seems to be okay, but i get the following error: ,----[ error message ] | >> Notifier.deliver_files_expiring(25) | Notifier.deliver_files_expiring(25) | TypeError: can''t dup NilClass | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/template_error.rb:11:in `dup'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/template_error.rb:11:in `initialize'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/base.rb:322:in `new'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/base.rb:322:in `render_file'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/base.rb:348:in `render'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:502:in `render'' | from /Users/sergio/Sites/file_manager/app/models/notifier.rb:7:in `files_expiring'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:410:in `__send__'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:410:in `create!'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:403:in `initialize'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:352:in `new'' | from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.0.2/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:352:in `method_missing'' | from (irb):41 `---- at this point, the view has only some text in it, no reference to any variables.. any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
