Rails Cannot See User_Notifier's methods!

Rails

Hey there, I’m attempting to set up a User_notifier that sends the
user an email with a reset password (a la RESTful Authentication’s
plugin–which I’m using). I get the following error any time I call
UserNotifier.deliver_<method_name>. I.e. in this case, when calling
UserNotifier.deliver_reset_password(user). Here’s the stack trace
from console:

UserNotifier.deliver_reset_password(User.find(1))
NoMethodError: undefined method reset_password' for #<UserNotifier: 0xb6e12178> from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.2.2/lib/action_mailer/ base.rb:462:insend’
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.2.2/lib/action_mailer/
base.rb:462:in create!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.2.2/lib/action_mailer/ base.rb:455:ininitialize’
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.2.2/lib/action_mailer/
base.rb:392:in new' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.2.2/lib/action_mailer/ base.rb:392:inmethod_missing’
from (irb):2

This is driving me crazy, because I can certainly see a method within
user_notifier.rb called ‘reset_password.’ If anybody has any thoughts
at all, they’re EXTREMELY appreciated! been bangin my head against
the wall for quite a while.

Thanks for lookin,
Jared

Hi Jared,

I certainly hate to plug my own tutorials, but you should visit this one
and create the mailbag app I placed in the tutorial. By the time you
finish with it, you’ll understand everything you need to know to get
mailers working and also on how to utilize observers to send mail.

If you have questions after, holler.

Did you create a class method rather than an instance method ?
