Hi all,

I have an app using rails 2.2.2 and engines from master branch commit  
5a2fb6db.

I have an Emailer \< ActionMailer::Base but I need to have some of the  
templates in the app and some others in an engines plugin. But as soon  
as I move some templates from app/views/emailer/ to  
vendor/plugins/my\_plugin/app/views/emailer/, it starts failing with  
MissingTemplate.

running rake test in engines says:

Finished in 0.403761 seconds.

1. Failure:  
test\_should\_work(ExceptionNotificationCompatibilityTest)

[./test/functional/exception\_notification\_compatibility\_test.rb:25:in  
`test\_should\_work’

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/testing/setup\_and\_teardown.rb:60:in  
` **send** ’

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action\_view/template.rb:16:in  
`initialize’

Is this working for anyone else? Is it just my setup or do we have a  
real bug here? If this is failing for someone else too, I’ll be working  
on a patch. But I’d prefer to avoid it if it’s only MY problem.

Thanks,  
Diego

Exactly the same problem with only using ExceptionNotifier. Please let  
me know if you find a solution.

Thanks,

Hi,

This was caused by, I think, the ‘official’ plugin disappearing from  
visibility to script/plugin (the svn servers for rubyonrails were  
turned off). I’ve amended the test setup to use a direct URL to the  
plugin, and all should be good now.

Thanks James.

Also, it looks like the latest version of ExceptionNotifier, which is  
available through github, fixes the problem. It’s good to go.
