I'm trying to integrate a mailer into my application. I need to send a transactional e-mail when a new order is placed. I keep running into a no method error when passing the recipient to the mailer. This works fine when I define the recipient explicitly, but I need to pass the recipient variable from my model to the message in order to get the behavior I desire. Any help debugging would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to track down my mistake.
Error output:
NoMethodError (undefined method `recipient' for nil:NilClass):
app/mailers/bed_mailer.rb:8:in `bed_email
Mailer:
class BedMailer < ApplicationMailer
default :from => 'info@paperlesspcs.com'
def bed_email(bed)
@bed = bed
mail(
:subject => 'Critical Documentation Needed' ,
:to => @bed.recipient ,
:track_opens => 'true',
:body => 'something'
)
end
end
Associated Controller Action:
def create
@bed = current_supplier.beds.build(bed_params)
respond_to do |format|
if @bed.save
BedMailer.bed_email(@beds).deliver_later
format.html { redirect_to @bed, notice: 'Bed was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @bed }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: @bed.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
Edit/Update
I corrected the typo error mentioned in the comment below, but now running into a no template error when I remove the :body line to forward to my preferred mailer layout Missing template bed_mailer/bed_email with "mailer". Searched in: * "bed_mailer"
My intended layout:
bed_mailer.html.erb
<h2> Critical Documentation Needed: </h2>
<p> In order to quickly process your referral for <strong> <%= @bed.patient_name %> </strong>, we need additional documentation.
