Specifically, look at this example for an idea on how to use it with
RSpec:

github.com

email-spec/email-spec/blob/cdf3eeda4d28ef8b35bbce8af9ca7c493528332d/examples/rails_root/spec/models/user_mailer_spec.rb

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'

# These two example groups are specifying the exact same behavior.  However, the documentation style is different
# and the value that each one provides is different with various trade-offs.  Run these examples with the specdoc 
# formatter to get an idea of how they differ.

# Example of documenting the behaviour explicitly and expressing the intent in the example's sentence.
describe "Signup Email" do
  include EmailSpec::Helpers
  include EmailSpec::Matchers
  include ActionController::UrlWriter

  before(:all) do
    @email = UserMailer.create_signup("[email protected]", "Jojo Binks")
  end

  subject { @email }
  
  it "should be delivered to the email passed in" do
    should deliver_to("[email protected]")

I try following and it works. i don’t know how but it pass the test
gives me 100% coverage and also i receive a test email.

describe ApplicationHelper do
it “should use ActionMailer to send a confirmation email” do
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries=[]
Notifier.deliver_conta(‘Salil’,‘[email protected]’, 123456)
end
end
