Question

This should be an easy one to track down…but it isn’t proving that way for me:

I have the following cucumber scenario:

Scenario: Send mail
  Given I am a guest
  When I go to the new_contact page
  And I fill in "contact_name" with "Test User"
  And get mail count
  And I fill in "contact_email" with "[e-mail]"
  And I fill in "contact_message" with "Test Message"
  And I fill in "contact_phone_num" with "123456789"
  And I press "Send Message"
  And get mail count

All default steps except for “get mail count”, which simply returns:

puts ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.count

The first step of “get mail count” returns zero, the second returns 2. Running ActionMailer::Base.deliveries confirms the email is identical (including object identifier). I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where that second send is coming from. When actually using the app, the mail only comes through once. Relevant code below:

Controller:

class ContactsController < ApplicationController

  def new
    @contact = Contact.new
    @pagetitle = "Contact Us"
    if (current_user) then
        @contact.name = "#{current_user.first_name} #{current_user.last_name}"
        @contact.email = current_user.email
    end
  end

  def create
    @contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
      if @contact.save
        contactmailer = ContactMailer
        puts 'here now'
        contactmailer.contact_message(@contact).deliver
        redirect_to contact_thanks_url, notice: 'Contact was successfully created.'
      else
        render action: "new"
      end
  end

  def thanks

  end
end

Mailer:

class ContactMailer < ActionMailer::Base

  def contact_message(contact)
    @contact = contact
    mail(:to => ENV['MANAGER_EMAIL'], :from => @contact.email, :subject => t(:business_name), :content_type => 'text/plain')
  end

end

Cucumber Config File:

BC::Application.configure do
  require 'ruby-debug'
  config.cache_classes = true
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

  config.serve_static_assets = true
  config.static_cache_control = "public, max-age=3600"

  config.whiny_nils = true

  config.consider_all_requests_local       = true
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = false

  config.action_dispatch.show_exceptions = false

  config.action_controller.allow_forgery_protection    = false

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test

  config.active_support.deprecation = :stderr

  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

  ENV['MANAGER_EMAIL'] = '[e-mail]'

end

Answer in case anyone has the same issue:

email_spec gem. The ‘require’ statement in support/features/env.rb was double-calling the mailer. Why I’m not sure, but I uninstalled the gem & everything worked fine.
