undefined method `deliver_sent' for MailerForm

Question

I'm upgrading rais 2.3.2 project to rails 3

Error:

undefined method `deliver_sent' for MailerFormError:Class
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
app/controllers/leads_controller.rb:72:in `block in create'
app/controllers/leads_controller.rb:56:in `create'

MailerFormError is my model: class MailerFormError < ActionMailer::Base

It's no method 'deliver_sent' in model and Actionmailer::Base too :(

code with it in controller:

    @msg = {}
    @msg["errors"] = @lead.errors
    @msg["params"] = params
    MailerFormError.deliver_sent(@msg)

Actionmailer version: actionmailer (3.2.11)

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Sending e-mails changed a lot between 2.3 and 3.2. Here is a basic howto: http://xyzpub.com/en/ruby-on-rails/3.2/action_mailer.html

Answer 2

1) for Rails 3, to send your notification in your controller , I write this :

    MailerFormError.sent(@msg).deliver

2) And I rewrite your 'sent' method in the Rails 3 way :

    def sent(msg, sent_at = Time.now)
      ...
      mail(:to => '...', :from => '...', :subject => '...') do |format|
        format.html
        format.text
      end
      ...
    end

Finally I create the text version and html in your view directory app/views/mail_form_error : sent.text.erb and sent.html.erb
