I have a Ruby script that sends an email. It works perfectly well when
run from the command line of a user session, wheter in development or
test mode. When run by cron as the same user however, it fails with
this:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:680:in check_response': 501 5.0.0 HELO requires domain address (Net::SMTPSyntaxError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:653:ingetok’

from bin/forex:5
I use a config/email.yml file that is defined thus:
test:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.harte-lyne.ca
port: 25
domain: harte-lyne.ca
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.harte-lyne.ca
port: 25
domain: harte-lyne.ca
development:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.harte-lyne.ca
port: 25
domain: harte-lyne.ca
and is loaded via config/initializers/load_email_config.rb which looks
like this:
Load mail configuration if not in test environment
if RAILS_ENV != ‘test’
email_settings =
YAML::load(File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/email.yml"))
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings =
email_settings[RAILS_ENV] unless email_settings[RAILS_ENV].nil?
end
I have placed puts in the initializer file and I can see it being
called, but the puts display after the eerror so it seems to me that
perhaps the email is being sent before the settings are.
For example, if I place puts before the RAILS_ENV and before each
statement within the conditional then I see this:

Loading email config

Setting smtp defaults
The script has this in it:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.dirname(FILE) +
‘/…/lib/forex/hll_commercial_forex_notify’
HLLCommercialForexNotify::Main.new(ARGV).execute
And, the script class does this:
…
unless defined? RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/…/config/environment’
end
require ‘hll_commercial_forex_rates_notice’
…
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
