Hi,
I am trying to use a cron job to render and mail pdf files on a daily
basis. Problem is that this code doesn’t compile and render the
template; it just passes the embedded ruby code on as text.
app = ActionView::Base.new
app.controller = ActionController::Base.new
data = app.render_template(‘rhtml’, “path_to_template/template.rhtml”)
pdf << data
Reason that I use render_template is that render_to_string, which I
originally used, is a protected method… and if I try to bypass that
with send, I get a null pointer exception.
Cheers
/Markus
