New rails 4.1 mailer preview action not found error

Question

Rails has 607 open issues...so, rather than plugging that hole even more I though Id try here first. I have upgraded to 4.1 and am implementing rails mailer previews. I tried upgrading my existing mailer and adding tests/mailers/previews directory. When that gave the following error I tried generating a new mailer. Same error.

 class NotifierPreview < ActionMailer::Preview     def welcome       Notifier.welcome(User.first)     end   end 

results in this error:

 The action 'notifier' could not be found for Rails::MailersController 

I've tried searching google, the docs, stack overflow, but nothing eludes to this error.

Anyone experience this or have any ideas?

Answer 1

The default preview path is /test/mailers/previews but rspec will override this to be /spec/mailers/previews

You can set the path to be whatever you like with:

config.action_mailer.preview_path = "#{Rails.root}/test/mailers/previews"
