MailyHerald setup with Devise gem (error: NoMethodError at /user)

Question

I’m trying to setup MailyHerald with devise gem in a rails 4 app. I followed these steps: https://github.com/Sology/maily_herald/wiki/Setup-with-'devise'-gem

Now, when I try to register a new user (a confirmation mail should be sent via MailyHerald) I get this error:

NoMethodError at /user
undefined method `[]' for false:FalseClass

maily_herald (0.9.3) lib/maily_herald.rb

# Gets the Maily logger.
def logger
  unless MailyHerald::Logging.initialized?
    opts = {
      level: options[:verbose] ? Logger::DEBUG : Logger::INFO,
    }
    opts[:target] = options[:logfile] if options[:logfile]
    MailyHerald::Logging.initialize(opts)
  end

Any idea? Thanks

EDIT: A small update, maybe related to the error I get:

when I do

maily_herald paperboy --start

as indicated in the page above, I get

undefined method `merge' for false:FalseClass

EDIT 2: Ok, I did some test.

I created a new app with devise from scratch (rails 4.2.5.1 and ruby 2.2.4p230). Now I get no error when a user registers, but no confirmation email is sent.

Running background processing

maily_herald paperboy --start

returns this

[Maily#cli] INFO: Started with options: {:mode=>:paperboy, :action=>:start, :daemon=>true}
You really should set a logfile if you're going to daemonize

To further investigate, I'm also trying to setup the sample application. I created some entity (users) and tried to send them emails (via mailcatcher). Until now, even if devise gem is not installed, It seems I have no luck: no message at all when running background processing, no errors, but also no mail is sent. Did someone managed to successfully try the app ?

Thank you for the reply, SsouLlesS. I restarted the server, but the error persists and no email is sent. — fabbrro, Feb 02 '16 at 18:12
I tried to set up maily_herald with devise following the guide, and I also have the same issue, it seems to be a bug of maily_herald, I already oponed up an issue in github let's see if the maintainers take a look — svelandiag, Feb 02 '16 at 18:34
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I'll also follow the opened issue on github — fabbrro, Feb 02 '16 at 18:51
@fabbrro - I had the same log message pop up into my version of maily_herald. So I decided to fork the gem and see what was going on underneath the hood. As it turns out, for some reason, the logfile I was specifying in my maily_herald.yml file was not being parsed in properly by the gem. What I did to fix it was fork the file. In the cli.rb file, the daemonize method was pulling in options["logfile"] instead of options[:logfile] .. so I just added this line: `options[:logfile] = options["logfile"]` Not elegant but it works ... — aldefouw, Oct 04 '17 at 01:18

I just noticed this question. Have You looked at my comment on github?

https://github.com/Sology/maily_herald/issues/17#issuecomment-182412069

Also, I checked my Procfile and I'm running:

web: bundle exec rails s
worker: bundle exec sidekiq -v
paperboy: bundle exec maily_herald paperboy

Sidekiq is essential for MailyHerald. I think it's not specified on Wiki page. let me know if this solves Your problem. I'll try also setup fresh app with Your setup. Any public repo I can look into?

UPDATE

Just created fresh app:

https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-devise
https://github.com/Sology/maily_herald/wiki/Setup-with-'devise'-gem
gem install mailcatcher
mailcatcher
gem install foreman

create Procfile in your app directory, with this code:

web: bundle exec rails s
worker: bundle exec sidekiq -v
paperboy: bundle exec maily_herald paperboy

foreman start

Then open mailcatcher and app in browser and sign up new user. You should see newly added mailing into dispatcher and sidekiq logs running this.

Thanks to your help I finally found out what was the problem: following the github page, I created the file maily_herald.yml trying to configure maily_herald and I had left it empty. Once removed, I was able to solve the problem. Anyway, I accept your answer. It's thanks to the sample app you posted that I understand how to correctly setup and run mail_herald and I could compare the two apps to find the problem. It's true, how to setup Sidekiq via Procfile is not well specified on wiki page. I was not running it in the right way. Maily_herald seems to work correctly in my app now. Thanks! — fabbrro, Feb 23 '16 at 18:54
