Errors with actionmailer + gmail

Rails
1

trying to get a rails app to work with Gmail under ruby 1.8.6, but
getting some weird errors, any help really appreciated.

Basically I installed the openrain-tls gem from here:

then added my settings to : smtp_gmail.rb

require “smtp_tls”

ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => “smtp.gmail.com”,
:port => 587,
:domain => ‘mydomain.com’,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ‘[email protected]’,
:password => ‘password’
}

tried it out in script/console and got:

Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2)

Notifier.deliver_hello_world
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

hi John

better you switch to ruby 1.8.7 as Ruby 1.8.7 supports SMTP TLS.
https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1336-starttls-for-smtp-makes-gmail-go

I will not suggess install a plugin (in 1.8.6) for something that was
fixed, trialled, and used in later versions.

anyway for ruby 1.8.6 you can try this one:

got it working in the end, managed to find a copy of smtp-tls in github,
forked and wiki’d the how-to

http://wiki.github.com/johnantoni/smtp-tls/how-to-for-rails-232-ruby-186

should help anyone else in the same position, works like a dream!
