I have been stepping through the introduction of the Action Mailer
Basics page at:
I went through the steps through 2.1.3 Create a Mailer View (with
some variation of content)
I skipped 2.1.4, generating a user, since I already had a user class.
But I copied the line of code:
UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver
into my user controller in the context of an action, changing it to:
UserMailer.welcome_new_contact( tom, hagrid)
where the ‘tom’ and ‘hagrid’ are both users.
And I get this horrible error message:
TypeError (Mail is not a module):
app/mailers/user_mailer.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:285:in `mail_contact'
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:409:in `add_contact'
Running if from the console gives me this error:
TypeError: Mail is not a module
