Question

I’ve noticed my Cucumber tests started to take a loooong time to run, and eventually I realized it’s because it’s trying to connect to an smtp server when I use mailers. I already have the following line on my test.rb file:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test

However, that setting doesn’t seem to be followed. If I remove the line below from my mailer.rb file, then it all works fine:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

Of course if I remove that line, then the production version won’t work anymore…

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You probably have

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

Being set somewhere after the test.rb is run.

You should configure your production mailer details inside production.rb
