Thank you, Fred. You were spot on. Explicitly designating the
controller resolved the error.
However that brought me to the next error/issue:
NoMethodError in Emailer#send_mail
Showing emailer/display.html.erb where line #71 raised:
undefined method `protect_against_forgery?' for #<ActionView::Base:

--------------
Googling on the error didn't turn up much and generally seemed to
attribute the problem to weirdness. One suggestion was that the
problem's roots were due to plugin installation. But I haven't
tinkered with the default installation plugins . Another suggestion
was to create a new project and try again. I did and the issue
persisted.
There were a couple of suggestions to disable or dodge
protect_against_forgery. I was unable to do so via the controller,
but adding the following in the helper class punted the issue down the
field.
def protect_against_forgery?
false
end
----------------
The punt didn't go far. This "fix" perhaps not unexpectedly resulted
in the next error: "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken".
Sooo, I'm at the deep end of the pool here. I really didn't want to
learn all about authenticity tokens at this stage of my learning
ruby. Any further suggestions will be much appreciated as to how to
get past this error.
Thanks, Bill
