Hello everyone,
while attempting to figure out how to render an inline template as body of a
mail message in an ActionMailer I am somewhat lost and hope that somebody on
the list can point me into the right direction.
My current code looks like this (with minor deletions to improve readability):
-- 8< --
class RegistrationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
def confirmation(registration)
recipients "#{registration.full_name} <#{registration.email}>"
from "<#{registration.event.organizer_alias_email}>"
sent_on Time.now
tmpl = registration.event.registration_confirmation_template
subject tmpl.subject
part "text/plain" do |p|
p.body render :inline => tmpl.body, :registration => registration
end
end
end
-- 8< --
Unfortunately, calling render throws an exception about a nil object:
| You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
| You might have expected an instance of Array.
| The error occurred while evaluating nil.each
-- 8< --
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.4/lib/action_view/base.rb:310:in

Line 310 maps to the "elsif" branch in base.rb, so most likely
controller.request.template_format is nil:
| def template_format
| if defined? @template_format
| @template_format
| elsif controller && controller.respond_to?(:request)
| @template_format = controller.request.template_format.to_sym
| else
| @template_format = :html
| end
| end
But, what would be the right way to set it?
I know that my approach somewhat violates the MVC pattern. An alternative
would probably be to call render from within the corresponding view.
Thanks,
Thilo
