You have to spec a notifier (instance of ActionMailer) seperately. And it took me a long time to figure out. A spec would look something like this:

describe Notifications, :type => :helper do #setting type is necessary
before(:each) do
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries = []
end

it “should sent a nice email with the analyses to the user” do
analysis_observer = AnalysisObserver.instance
analysis_observer.stub!(:after_create)
mail = Notifications.deliver_analyses_to_user “somegmail@gmail.com”, Factory(:temporary_user, :analyses => [Factory(:analysis)])
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size.should == 1
mail.body.should have_tag(”img”, 3)
mail.body.should have_tag(”table”)
end

Hope that helps!

Hi i am testing email through rspec.I followed your suggestions but some problem occured.
This is the whole scenario:
What i want to do is when my user is created it should send mail to for activation.
This is the code under user_spec.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ‘/../spec_helper’)
#require ‘rasta/fixture/rasta_fixture’
#require ‘fastercsv’

def valid_user_attributes
{
:email => “testing@joshsoftware.com”,
:login => “test”,
:password => “test123″,
:password_confirmation => “test123″,
:role_id => 1
}
end

describe User do
before(:each) do
@user = User.create
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries = []
end

fixtures :users

context “User” do
it “should be create if all the credentials are provided” do
@user.attributes = valid_user_attributes
mail = Notifier.signup_notification(”user_1″)
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size.should == 1
mail.body.should =~ /Please signup/
@user.should be_valid
@user.save
end

Now here Notifier ia another model which contains signup_ notification method.
Is it the case that i would need to test that in notifier spec or is it possible to get notifier model in user like require ‘notifier.rb’
Please suggest

Perfect. That’s exactly what I needed.

[…] In test-driven style (thanks to rubytutorials.net), here’s a spec for we’ll make work (at least the sending mail part of it). Note that […]

Thanks for this it worked well for me.

I opted to put
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test

in my environment though.

Cheers,
