Mailer error missing template
Hello,
I have problem with ActionMailer, when I try to execute action:
rake send_email
I get a error:
rake aborted!
ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template user_mailer/mailer with "mailer". Searched in:
* "user_mailer"
Here's my:
mailers/user_mailer.rb
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "[email protected]"
def mailer(user)
@user = user
mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Test')
end
end
views/user_mailer/mailer.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
</head>
<body>
<p>
Sample mail.
</p>
</body>
</html>
views/user_mailer/mailer.text.erb
Sample mail.
lib/tasks/emails_task.rake
desc 'send email'
task send_email: :environment do
UserMailer.mailer(User.last).deliver!
end
config/environments/development.rb
# I recommend using this line to show error
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
# ActionMailer Config
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :letter_opener
# config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
# config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
# SMTP settings for gmail
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => ENV['gmail_username'],
:password => ENV['gmail_password'],
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
# Send email in development mode?
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
I searched for the solution on stackoverflow and I tried many of the answers for the similar problem but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
I found solution, when I add body to mailer method like:
def mailer(user)
@user = user
mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Test', body: 'something')
end
Then it does work but I would like to have a body in separate files and make it more complex with user name and other things.
If someone have a idea how to solve this problem then I would be very thankful :)
Answer
Try adding layout
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "[email protected]"
layout "mailer"
def mailer(user)
@user = user
mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Test')
end
end
