Hello people,

I am testing the emailers. I am following this tutorial:-  
[http://izumi.plan99.net/manuals/testing\_rails\_applications-c17d65ba.html](http://izumi.plan99.net/manuals/testing_rails_applications-c17d65ba.html)

But i have got a problem. I have written the test case as like:-

def test\_check\_abc  
@expected = ‘MyMailer#signup’  
@expected.body = read\_fixture(‘signup’)  
@expected.date = Time.now

assert\_equal @expected.encoded,  
Emailer.create\_invite(‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’, ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’,  
@expected.date).encoded  
end

Now i am getting problem as  
“NoMethodError: undefined method `leaverequest’ for Emailer:Class”…  
What is it …?
