This is a newbie question so please excuse me, I have been working with rails, but this is the first time i am trying to require gems from a heroku app that does not include rails - just a plain Ruby app.
ok I have a app.rb file looking like this:
require "sinatra"
require 'koala'
require 'action_mailer'
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => 587,
:domain => "MYDOMAIN",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "USER_NAME",
:password => "PASSWORD",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
ActionMailer::Base.view_paths= File.dirname(__FILE__)
class TestMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "MY_EMAIL"
def welcome_email
mail(:to => "MY_EMAIL", :subject => "Test mail", :body => "Test mail body")
end
end
What I would like to do is run
TestMailer::deliver_test_email
in the console and get the details or run
TestMailer::deliver_test_email.deliver
to send a test email
but all i get is :
NameError: uninitialized constant Object::TestMailer
I have included actionmailer in the Gemfile and its also in the Gemfile.lock
I am sure it is something straight forward for an experienced Ruby dev, but I am struggling could anyone help me please?
Thanks
After a few hours of testing and research I ended up using Mail instead, this was my final code which when run works fine, I hope it helps anyone who is having the same issues as I was :)
require 'mail'
Mail.defaults do
delivery_method :smtp, { :address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => 587,
:domain => "MY_DOMAIN",
:user_name => "USER_NAME",
:password => "PASSWORD",
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
end
mail = Mail.deliver do
to 'EMAIL'
from 'Your Name <NAME#MY_DOMAIN>'
subject 'This is the subject of your email'
text_part do
body 'hello world in text'
end
html_part do
content_type 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
body '<b>hello world in HTML</b>'
end
end

I'm trying to send a simple email using my Gmail account through ruby's mail gem but the email is never sent nor received. I followed the steps from a similar question but I wasn't sure what to put under the domain field. I believe this may be my issue but I'm not sure.
my code:
require 'mail'
options = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'your.host.name',
:user_name => 'REMOVED',
:password => 'REMOVED',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
Mail.defaults do
delivery_method :smtp, options
end
mail = Mail.new do
from 'REMOVED'
to 'REMOVED'
subject 'This is a test email'
body 'test'
end
I don't see where you are calling the deliver method to send the email. Based on the documentation, there's a couple of ways to do that:
Mail.deliver do
from 'me#test.lindsaar.net'
to 'you#test.lindsaar.net'
...
end
or
mail = Mail.new do
from 'me#test.lindsaar.net'
to 'you#test.lindsaar.net'
...
end
mail.deliver!
I have used actionmailer 2.3 without rails and when tried the same code with 4.0 components ruby code that use actionmailer4 is not working. I have the solution now that works and I am going to respond in the answer section.
require 'rubygems'
require 'action_mailer'
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => :true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "xxxx.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "aaaa#xxxx.com",
:password => "ppppp"
}
ActionMailer::Base.view_paths= File.dirname(__FILE__)
class TEST_CLASS_email < ActionMailer::Base
default( {from: "aaaa#xxxx.com"} )
def sendemail(s_email)
#var = 'TESTING VARIABLE PASSING TO VIEW'
mail(
to: "bbbb.cccc#dddd.com",
subject: "Testing out from ACTIONMAILER4",
bcc: s_email
)
end
end
def testemailpubmethod(email)
begin
e=TEST_CLASS_email.sendemail(email)
if e.present?
e.deliver_now
end
rescue Exception => exception
puts "Email:Exception Message: #{exception.message}"
puts "Error sending the email #{exception.backtrace.join("\n")}"
end
end
testemailpubmethod("eeee#ffff.com")
Now create the template files in the following subdirectory.
============================================================
./test_class_email/sendemail.text.erb
=====================================
This is a text email from <%= #var %>
-Have fun using Actionmailer4 :)
So I am testing out the Ruby gem 'Mail'. Below is my code. According to the sysadmin, there is no authentication necessary to send out by SMTP and the server is allowed to send by SMTP. If that makes sense.
I have used the 'net/smtp' which worked fine but I can't seem to get this 'Mail' gem to work for me. It's not giving me any errors so I'm not sure what the issue is. I am a complete ruby noob at this.
#testing out mailer
require 'mail'
Mail.defaults do
delivery_method :smtp, {
:address => '10.18.34.18',
:port => '25',
:user_name => 'anonymous',
:password => 'anonymous',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true}
end
mail = Mail.new do
from 'server#company.com'
to 'cvu#company.com'
subject 'This is a test email'
body File.read('test.txt')
end
mail.to_s
Try calling mail.deliver!, calling to_s just returns you a string representation of the object.
Alternatively you can call deliver with a block instead of calling new, e.g.
mail = Mail.deliver do
from 'server#company.com'
to 'cvu#company.com'
subject 'This is a test email'
body File.read('test.txt')
end
In addition to what struthersneil stated, I had to remove the authentication like so:
require 'mail'
Mail.defaults do
delivery_method :smtp, {
:address => '10.18.34.18',
:port => '25',
:enable_starttls_auto => true}
end
I have the following code. Its job to is to send an email based on data given through the browser (using Sinatra). It sends an email to the address given after 20 seconds. When I run the program, It instantly sends the email, without waiting for the time. Can anyone help me out with this issue.
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'pony'
require 'resque'
require 'resque_scheduler'
require 'active_support/time'
Resque.redis = 'localhost:6379'
Resque::Scheduler.dynamic = true
def sendMail
Pony.mail({
:to => 'eldurotaduro#gmail.com',
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'EMAIL',
:password => 'PASSWD',
:authentication => :plain, # :plain, :login, :cram_md5, no auth by default
:domain => "localhost.localdomain" # the HELO domain provided by the client to the server
},
:body => 'roar'
})
end
class Roar
def self.queue; :app; end
end
class ChildJob
#message
#email
def setMess(mes)
#message = mes
end
def setMail(mail)
#email = mail
end
def self.queue; :app; sendMail; end
def self.perform
Pony.mail({
:to => 'eldurotaduro#gmail.com',
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'EMAILHERE#gmail.com',
:password => 'PASSWD',
:authentication => :plain, # :plain, :login, :cram_md5, no auth by default
:domain => "localhost.localdomain" # the HELO domain provided by the client to the server
},
:body => 'HAHAH'
})
end
end
get '/:email/:message/:time' do
email = params[:email]
message = params[:message]
time = params[:time]
time = time.to_i
Resque.enqueue_in(20.seconds, ChildJob)
end
Keep the :app symbol in self.queue as that's what sets the default queue (see this StackOverflow answer). Put the sendMail into a self.perform method, as that's the thing you want done when the schedule is met. e.g.
def self.queue
:app
end
def self.perform
sendMail
end
i am using Pony.mail to send mail within Sinatra, what i have now is two forms, one that only sends an email address for subscription to newsletter and the second form is a contact form, both are going through the same action.
What I am trying to achieve is if the subscription field is completed then only send those params or if the contact form is completed and sent then send those params
Heres what i come up with so far, but getting undefined method nil
post '/' do
require 'pony'
Pony.mail(
:from => params[:name] || params[:subscribe],
:to => 'myemailaddress',
:subject => params[:name] + " has contacted you via the Website" || params[:subscribe] + " has subscribed to the newsletter",
:body => params[:email] + params[:comment],
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'myemailaddress',
:password => 'mypassword',
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
})
redirect '/success'
end
is this even possible or would each form have to be dealt with individually?
Thanks
There are several stages I'd go through to refactor this code.
1. Extract the things that are changing (and make them more Rubyish)
post '/' do
require 'pony'
from = params[:name] || params[:subscribe]
subject = "#{params[:name]} has contacted you via the Website" ||
"#{params[:subscribe]} has subscribed to the newsletter"
body = "#{params[:email]}#{params[:comment]}"
Pony.mail(
:from => from,
:to => 'myemailaddress',
:subject => subject,
:body => body,
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'myemailaddress',
:password => 'mypassword',
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
})
redirect '/success'
end
2. Make clear your intentions
in this case, that there are two branches through the code.
post '/' do
require 'pony'
if params[:name] # contact form
from = params[:name]
subject = "#{params[:name]} has contacted you via the Website"
else # subscription form
from = params[:subscribe]
subject = "#{params[:subscribe]} has subscribed to the newsletter"
end
body = "#{params[:email]}#{params[:comment]}"
Pony.mail(
:from => from,
:to => 'myemailaddress',
:subject => subject,
:body => body,
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'myemailaddress',
:password => 'mypassword',
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
})
redirect '/success'
end
(I'm not a big fan of setting local vars within conditional branches, but we'll ignore that for clarity. I'd probably create a hash before the conditional with the keys already done, and then populate it in the branches but YMMV.)
3. Extract what doesn't change from what does.
Sinatra has a configure block just for this kind of thing.
require 'pony'
configure :development do
set :email_options, {
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'myemailaddress',
:password => 'mypassword',
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
}
end
Pony.options = settings.email_options
Notice I've added :development as you may want to set it up differently for production.
Now your route is a lot cleaner and easier to debug:
post '/' do
if params[:name] # contact form
from = params[:name]
subject = "#{params[:name]} has contacted you via the Website"
else # subscription form
from = params[:subscribe]
subject = "#{params[:subscribe]} has subscribed to the newsletter"
end
body = "#{params[:email]}#{params[:comment]}"
Pony.mail
:from => from,
:to => 'myemailaddress',
:subject => subject,
:body => body,
redirect '/success'
end
My last tip, would be to put as many of those Pony options into ENV vars, which will not only keep things like passwords out of source control but also allow you to change the settings a lot easier. Perhaps put them in a Rakefile and load different environments for different contexts etc.
To use environment variables, I do the following:
# Rakefile
# in this method set up some env vars
def basic_environment
# I load them in from a YAML file that is *not* in source control
# but you could just specify them here
# e.g. ENV["EMAIL_A"] = "me#example.com"
end
namespace :app do
desc "Set up the environment locally"
task :environment do
warn "Entering :app:environment"
basic_environment()
end
desc "Run the app locally"
task :run_local => "app:environment" do
exec "bin/rackup config.ru -p 4630"
end
end
# from the command line, I'd run
`bin/rake app:run_local`
# in the Sinatra app file
configure :production do
# these are actual settings I use for a Heroku app using Sendgrid
set "email_options", {
:from => ENV["EMAIL_FROM"],
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
},
}
end
# then a block with slightly different settings for development
configure :development do
# local settings…
set "email_options", {
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => ENV["EMAIL_A"],
:password => ENV["EMAIL_P"],
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
}
}
end
I usually keep most of these setting in a YAML file locally for development, but add these to the production server directly. There are lots of ways to handle this, YMMV.
