Thanks! I can now set the template_root with ActionMailer::Base.template_root=. However, it still is not finding my template. It looks like an Array is not getting initialized.
I not using rails framework, since this is not a rails app. So, I did not do the script/generate mailer Mailer to generate my Mailer class. I just manually created it in my app's framework. Is there something in rails or the generate script that is not getting set because I'm not in rails. Do I need to create a controller class? I don't remember having one with my limited rails development work a few years ago. I thought it was decoupled from ActionController. Here is my class. When I call Mailer.deliver_results(team, week) looping a teams collections, I get the new error. require 'action_controller' class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base def results(team, week) recipients team.email from "commissio...@ffl.net" subject "TPL: #{week.description} Results" body :team => team, :week => week end end /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/actionmailer-2.3.4/ lib/action_mailer/base.rb:582:in `candidate_for_layout?': undefined method `find_template' for []:Array (NoMethodError) from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionpack-2.3.4/lib/action_controller/layout.rb:240:in `pick_layout' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:566:in `render' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:553:in `render_message' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:493:in `create!' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:452:in `initialize' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:395:in `new' from /home/gditric/sandbox/ffl/vendor/gems/1.9.1/gems/ actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:395:in `method_missing' from ./ffl.rb:104:in `block in <main>' from ./ffl.rb:103:in `each' from ./ffl.rb:103:in `<main>' Thanks again. I'm getting further...and still experimenting. ;) GregD On Oct 6, 9:21 pm, Yehuda Katz <wyc...@gmail.com> wrote: > We're in the process of reworking AM to work with the new > AbstractController.
