I'm planning to write the rake task to query few details from the model and sending the notification using ActionMailer object
I'm getting below error when I invoke the action mailer class in my rake task, rake aborted! #<NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]> C:/Rails application/TEST/lib/tasks/notifier.rak My code: notifier.rake file under lib/tasks task :notify => :environment do begin ************** Notifier.deliver_submitted_list_notification(email_settings[RAILS_ENV], records ) end notifier.rb model/notifier.rb class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base def submitted_list_notification(settings,records) ********** end end Any help would be appreciated!!
