Mailer method missing

Rails
1

Rails dies when I try to call a method from my Mailer. But I have
defined my method. What could I have missed? Here is the irb session:

p = Person.find(1)
=> Person data…

SiteMailer.request_admin_approval§
NoMethodError: undefined method `request_admin_approval’ for
SiteMailer:Class

SiteMailer.method_defined? :request_admin_approval
=> true

The method code:

class SiteMailer < ActionMailer::Base

def request_admin_approval(person)
@subject = ‘Watercooler - New User Notification’
@body[“person”] = person
@recipients = “me”
@from = ‘[email protected]’
@sent_on = Time.now
@headers = {}
end

To call your mail methods, you dont call them directly:

SiteMailer.deliver_request_admin_approval(person)

Which sends the email and returns a TMail object.

try ‘self’

def self.request_admin_approval(person)

It is true… there is a method named request_admin_approval for
SiteMailer… but it is an instance method (as in:
s = SiteMailer.new
s.request_admin_approval(p)
)

You’re trying to access it as a class method… which means, you would
need
to define self.request_admin_approval in the SiteMailer class instead of
just request_admin_approval.

Or, you will have to make an instance of your SiteMailer object in order
to
call the function.

The method code:
