-
Preview send emails in development and test mode.
-
Test them using your standard Capybara matchers or any other testing framework that you prefer.
In your Gemfile add:
gem 'inbox'And run:
bundle install
Mount engine in config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
mount Inbox::Engine => "/inbox"
endFeel free to mount it under different route if this one is already taken in your application
mount Inbox::Engine => "/mailer"Navigate to /inbox/<email>/emails ex.: /inbox/robert.pankowecki@gmail.com/emails
to see a list of emails that would have been delivered to the user.
Click subject of the email to see its content
visit("/inbox/robert.pankowecki@gmail.com/emails")
click_link("Subject of the email")
has_content?("This should be in email")
click_link("Some link in the email ex. account activation link")The nice thing is that this is just HTML page displaying email content so you can use
your favorite testing framework (BBQ, Capybara, Test::Unit, Spinach, Cucumber, RSpec, whatever)
for checking the content of page. And you can reuse your matchers.
Navigate to /inbox/<email>/emails/new ex.: /inbox/robert.pankowecki@gmail.com/emails/new
to see an ugly form for sending emails that you can use to play around and see if everything
works fine.
ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.clear # in :test mode
Inbox::FileDelivery.new(ActionMailer::Base.inbox_settings).clear # in :inbox modeIn case you want to have acceptance tests of emails that are
sent using external process (resque, sidekiq, ...) just set
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :inboxin config/environments/test.rb and create tmp/mails directory.
If you send emails from your Rails models, controllers, services or use-cases you can stick with:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test
