sometimes when I am developing, I do not have an internet connection. This results in an error wherever my app is supposed to send an email:
getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known Is there a simple and quick way where i can change a config value to make ActionMailer just not try to actually send out an email and not throw an error? Maybe something thats scoped to the development environment. Or some other way I can avoid the error being thrown and my code passing wherever I call the actionmailer deliver?
I'm using Rails 3.1

Action Mailer is the Rails component that enables applications to send and receive emails. In this chapter, we will see how to send an email using Rails. Let's start creating an emails project using the following command. tp> rails new mailtest. This will create the required framework to proceed.
Mailer views are located in the app/views/name_of_mailer_class directory. The specific mailer view is known to the class because its name is the same as the mailer method. In our example from above, our mailer view for the welcome_email method will be in app/views/user_mailer/welcome_email. html.
It's common practice to just let Rails ignore the mail errors. In your config/environments/development.rb file add, uncomment or modify:
# Don't care if the mailer can't send config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false You can also set this:
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false See the documentation here http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration
You can also set the delivery method to :test, but I have not actually tried that
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test If you want to disable mail deliveries after your rails app has been initialized (while creating sample data, during migrations, etc.):
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = false If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
