simple email causes stack level too deep

Question

I have mailer:

class AdminMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default :from => "[email protected]" 
  def message
    mail(:to => "[email protected]",:subject => "test")
  end
end

When I i use them from the controller :

def create
  AdminMailer.message.deliver
  redirect_to root_path
end

Then I got

SystemStackError in EmailsController#create
stack level too deep

Without any trace and so on.

Answer 1

I think you'll find the message method is reserved by Action Mailer. I would recommend calling your method different from this to prevent this conflict.

Thanks to Ben Lee in the comments for pointing out where this comes from.
