I was looking for some good way to parse mails with rails 3.2.
I did not want to setup external server as R. Bates show in episode: http://railscasts.com/episodes/313-receiving-email-with-mailman
I found simple solution:
Mail.defaults do
retriever_method :pop3, :address => "pop.gmail.com",
:port => 995,
:user_name => '*****#gmail.com',
:password => '*****',
:enable_ssl => true
end
Mail.all.each do |email|
some_email_parser(email)
end
It is fired up as rake task invoked by Cron every 15min.
If you see any disadvantages of that approach let me know.
This code works fine so I leave it like this.

I am currently using delayed and it is up and running successfully. However, I can't seem to add a hook for when the jobs are completed from resque. The code I have currently is listening to the correct queue, but still seems to not work. I might be making a very simple, stupid mistake, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Here is the model (working fine as far as I can see):
class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :approved, :entry_text, :reviewed, :user_id, :photo
has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :small => "250x250", :large => "500x500>" },
:url => "link-to-s3-will-be-env-var",
:path => "path/:id/:basename.:extension"
process_in_background :photo
end
And then my little worker class (the part that doesn't seem to be run)
class PhotoProcessor
#queue = :paperclip
def self.perform(photo_id)
puts "*****************OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG*********************"
puts photo_id.inspect
end
end
I can't get it to output the crazy string, just for testing purposes, but I can't even seem to have this method called. Thanks for any help, I am clearly missing something obvious.
For some reason it seems like my smtp settings are not being applied. I have them set up in application.rb,
# application.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "blah.com",
:user_name => "user#blah.com",
:password => "pwd",
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
but when I try to send mail (using ExceptionNotification) I'm getting a connect failed error, and some poking around shows me that the settings used by the mail gem are.
{:address=>"localhost", :port=>25, :domain=>"localhost.localdomain", :user_name=>nil, :password=>nil, :authentication=>nil, :enable_starttls_auto=>true, :openssl_verify_mode=>nil, :ssl=>nil, :tls=>nil}
I've never seen this problem with rails (3.2.7) before, so I suspect it's something I'm doing, but I've grepped for other things modifying the settings and I can't find anything. Anybody have any ideas?
As usual, I spend hours trying to figure out what the problem is, but as soon as I post it on SO, I figure out what's going on :S
I had ExceptionNotifier disabled in dev mode as usual, but the gem is still included, so it still tried to do everything. Apparently the mail configuration was one of the things that wasn't being done.
Solution: enable in dev mode or run in prod.
I'm trying to write tests for authentication with Twitter and Facebook. I am using Devise and Omniauth. When I try it out it works correctly, but I can't get the tests to pass for it.
I'm following instructions, but it isn't in depth enough for me, plus I'm doing things a little differently (already have some code base). I have a custom controllers for omniauth_callbacks and registrations.
My problem is that when I run the tests it says:
(::) failed steps (::)
No route matches "/oauth/authorize" (ActionController::RoutingError)
<internal:prelude>:10:in `synchronize'
(eval):2:in `click_link'
./features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:57:in `/^(?:|I )follow "([^"]*)"$/'
features/link_twitter.feature:19:in `And I link twitter'
Failing Scenarios:
cucumber features/link_twitter.feature:16 # Scenario: User links twitter
Where is this /oauth/authorize route coming from and how do I handle that?
It does not look like it is getting to my OmniauthCallbacksController. It follows the link and then dies. I think it has to do with Omniauth's call back method during test mode, but I'm not sure how to change / manage that.
Update: Here are my routes for Devise.
devise_for :users, :controllers => {
:omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks",
:registrations => 'registrations',
:passwords => 'passwords',
:sessions => 'sessions',
:confirmations => 'confirmations'
} do
match 'confirmations/unconfirmed' => 'confirmations#unconfirmed', :as => :unconfirmed
match 'confirmations/send_advisor_confirmation/:id' => 'confirmations#unregistered_advisor_confirmation', :as => :send_advisor_confirmation
get '/users/auth/:provider' => 'users/omniauth_callbacks#passthru'
end
I forgot to put the following into env.rb
# features/support/env.rb
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = true
For more information read about the testing here.
The server states that the email was sent to the correct address but I am not getting the message in my inbox.
My Setup_mail.rb file
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings ={
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "my_user_name#gmail.com",
:password => "my_password",
:authentication => "Plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
My development.rb file is:
# Don't care if the mailer can't send
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true #default value
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp #default value
My test.rb file is:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
I have tried multiple variations and am lost. I am running on a Windows 7 machine. I am running Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 3.0.7
Can anyone help?
Here is my create method:
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
UserMailer.registration_confirmation(#user).deliver
sign_in #user
redirect_to #user, :flash => { :success => "Welcome to the Sample App!" }
else
#title = "Sign up"
render 'new'
end
end
My user_mailer.rb
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "my_user_name#gmail.com"
def registration_confirmation(user)
mail(:to => user.email, :subject => "Thanks for registering")
end
end
Take a look at your server. I'm pretty sure that you can see in your logs that it's actually trying to send the mail.
The problem is that Google doesn't trust your local IP address and your mails won't get delivered (not even to the spam directory). There is no way to work around this but using a whitelisted server.
If you try your app in production this should normally work, for example deploy your app to heroku to test it.
Try putting in .deliver at the end. That fixed this issue for me:
mail(:to .....).deliver!
Try changing the authentication from a string to a symbol.
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings ={
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "my_user_name#gmail.com",
:password => "my_password",
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
You should check that my_user_name#gmail.com has actually sent the email. We have had issues with this in the past when sending verification emails out through Gmail's SMTP server, since sending in bulk end up not sending at all.
I suggest you log into my_user_name#gmail.com and verify that there are no problems and that the emails are sent.
If not, you may want try a service like Send Grid to send outgoing emails.
I had this same issue, I was able to see that in my console mail was sent but in inbox nothing was appearing, one thing is that you can deploy your app on whitelisted server like heroku, or if you want to see just for testing purpose through your local just enable less secure apps in your browser and you should be able to see that email in your inbox

I've been trying to fix this for way too many hours. I looked at Railscast, official Rails Guides, lots of blog posts and none of them help.
I'm trying to send email from my Rails 3 app using ActionMailer 2.2.5 via my Google Apps account. I verified the username and password. I can see on the console the message to be sent. I'm getting a Timeout::Error from the deliver call in my controller.
Can someone shed any light on this?
Here's the code:
# config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:tls => true,
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => "587",
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => 'test.com',
:user_name => 'user#test.com',
:password => 'mypass'
}
# app/mailers/test_mailer.rb
class PostMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "no-reply#test.com"
def activate_email( post )
#post = post
mail( :to => post.email,
:subject => "Testing" )
end
end
# app/controllers/test_controller.rb
class TestController < ApplicationController
def create
#post = Post.new( params[:post] )
TestMailer.activate_email( #post ).deliver
end
end
I would try two things. First off make port a number instead of a string:
:port => 587
Also in my code I have the following line before the actionmailer config:
Net::SMTP.enable_tls(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
Is there any reason that you are using an old version of actionmailer with rails 3? I would recommend using the version of actionmailer that corresponds to your rails version.
Hope this helps.
