Rails

Hi,

i have worked on one website using Ruby On Rails.i have installed
acts_as_attachment for authenticate the user.after that i have installed
login_engine plugin to try out some mail sending function.but i did not
get that function worked.So i have just removed that login_engine
plugin.and try out mail sending using acton_mailer gem.But while i am
running that application to send mail for forgot password fuction.

It shows the error as

stack level too deep

This error can happen on endless loop or never ending recursive
function,
CAn u show app/models/mymailertest.rb content and method on app/
controllers/account_controller.rb:261 ?

It’s also common to see this when accessor methods are misused. Suppose
the following:

class Test
def initialize(new_value = “Foo”)
@my_value = new_value
end

def my_value
@my_value
end

def my_value=(new_value)
self.my_value = new_value
end
end

test = Test.new
test.my_value = “Bar”
puts test.my_value

In this contrived example notice how the setter method is calling itself
in an attempt to set my_value. Hence an infinite loop in the setter and
a “stack level too deep” is the side-effect.

Of course the proper syntax for the setter should be:

def my_value=(new_value)
@my_value = new_value
end

Maybe your case if different, but I’ve seen this happen so I thought I’d
mention it before you spend too much time on something silly like this.

Hi alexey,

Thanks for your reply.This is my

app/controllers/account_controller.rb:261?

Mymailertest.deliver_welcome(recipient,subject,message)

app/models/mymailertest.rb

def welcome(recipient, subject, message, sent_at = Time.now)
@subject = subject
@recipients = recipient
@from = ‘’
@sent_on = sent_at
@body[“title”] = ‘This is title’
@body[“email”] = ‘’
@body[“message”] = message
@headers = {}
end

calling and called function.
