[rspec-users] Problem spec''ing ActionMailer with attachment, body not getting rendered.

I''ve got a simple ActionMailer::Base subclass:
class InfoMailer < ActionMailer::Base

    def info(user, zip_name)
    recipients user.email
    subject "Requested Info"
    attachment(:content_type => "application/zip",
                :filename => zip_name,
                :body => File.read(zip_name))
    body(:message => "Here is the Info that you Requested")
  end
end

I''m trying to spec this following
http://www.rubytutorials.net/2008/02/26/small-rspec-revelations-actionmailer/

describe AssetsInfoMailer do
  before(:each) do
    @user = mock_model(User,
        :email => @user_email = "somewhere at over.the.rainbow",
        :full_name => "The Wicked Witch of the West"
        )
    ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test
    ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
    ActionMailer::Base.deliveries = []
  end

  describe ".info" do
    before(:each) do
      @path = ''xyz.zip''
      @attachment_body = ''zip_file_contents''
      File.stub!(:read).and_return(@attachment_body)
      @the_mail = AssetsInfoMailer.deliver_info(@user, at path)
      @attachments = @the_mail.attachments
    end

    it "should have the right body" do
      @the_mail.body.should == ""
    end
  end

The expectation of an empty string is just to see what''s actually
getting
returned, the result is:

1)
''AssetsInfoMailer.info should have the right body'' FAILED
expected: "",
     got: "Attachment: xyz.zip\n" (using ==)

It''s looking like the mail template never got rendered, and body is
giving
me the attachment since it''s the only part.

I''ve got one other mailer method in that mailer which doesn''t
contain an
attachement, and it''s body comes out fine.

I''m not sure what''s going on here, and I''d appreciate
any
help/insight/condolences...

When sending attachments emails are sent as multipart messages. The
only part being specified is the attachment. The other call to "body"
is being ignored. Try something like:

def info(user, zip_name)
  recipients user.email
  subject "Requested Info"
  attachment(:content_type => "application/zip",
              :filename => zip_name,
              :body => File.read(zip_name))
  part "text/plain" do |p|
    p.body(:message => "Here is the Info that you Requested")
  end
end

Also when you look at the email you''ll have look at its #parts
otherwise @the_mail.body is going to returned the body representation
of each part concatenated.

I just tried my out, and while it does work because there are multiple
parts specified, also re-ordering of the initial #body to come before
the attachment doesn''t seem to help with the original code either.

I''m curious now what you do find out and which route you decide to go,
keep us posted either way Rick.

I ende up with pretty much the above, but with

   p.body(render_message(''info'', :message =>...

since there was a template to render.
