module ActionMailer::TestHelper
Provides helper methods for testing Action Mailer, including assert_emails
and assert_no_emails
.
Public Instance Methods
Asserts that the number of emails sent matches the given number.
def test_emails assert_emails 0 ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_now assert_emails 1 ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_now assert_emails 2 end
If a block is passed, that block should cause the specified number of emails to be sent.
def test_emails_again assert_emails 1 do ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_now end assert_emails 2 do ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_now ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later end end
# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/test_helper.rb, line 35 def assert_emails(number, &block) if block_given? diff = capture_emails(&block).length assert_equal number, diff, "#{number} emails expected, but #{diff} were sent" else assert_equal number, ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size end end
Asserts that a specific email has been enqueued, optionally matching arguments and/or params.

If a block is passed, that block should cause the specified email to be enqueued.
def test_email_in_block assert_enqueued_email_with ContactMailer, :welcome do ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later end end
If args
is provided as a Hash
, a parameterized email is matched.
def test_parameterized_email assert_enqueued_email_with ContactMailer, :welcome, args: {email: 'user@example.com'} do ContactMailer.with(email: 'user@example.com').welcome.deliver_later end end

This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 7.2. To specify a params Hash, use the :params kwarg: assert_enqueued_email_with MyMailer, :my_method, params: { my_param: "value" } Or, to specify named mailer args as a Hash, wrap the Hash in an array: assert_enqueued_email_with MyMailer, :my_method, args: [{ my_arg: "value" }] # OR assert_enqueued_email_with MyMailer, :my_method, args: [my_arg: "value"] MSG params, args = args, nil end args = Array(args) unless args.is_a?(Proc) queue ||= mailer.deliver_later_queue_name || ActiveJob::Base.default_queue_name expected = ->(job_args) do job_kwargs = job_args.extract_options!

Asserts that the number of emails enqueued for later delivery matches the given number.
def test_emails assert_enqueued_emails 0 ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later assert_enqueued_emails 1 ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later assert_enqueued_emails 2 end
If a block is passed, that block should cause the specified number of emails to be enqueued.

Asserts that no emails have been sent.
def test_emails assert_no_emails ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_now assert_emails 1 end
If a block is passed, that block should not cause any emails to be sent.
def test_emails_again assert_no_emails do # No emails should be sent from this block end end
Note: This assertion is simply a shortcut for:
assert_emails 0, &block
# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/test_helper.rb, line 63 def assert_no_emails(&block) assert_emails 0, &block end
Asserts that no emails are enqueued for later delivery.
def test_no_emails assert_no_enqueued_emails ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later assert_enqueued_emails 1 end
If a block is provided, it should not cause any emails to be enqueued.
def test_no_emails assert_no_enqueued_emails do # No emails should be enqueued from this block end end
# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/test_helper.rb, line 211 def assert_no_enqueued_emails(&block) assert_enqueued_emails 0, &block end
Returns any emails that are sent in the block.

Delivers all enqueued emails. If a block is given, delivers all of the emails that were enqueued throughout the duration of the block. If a block is not given, delivers all the enqueued emails up to this point in the test.
def test_deliver_enqueued_emails deliver_enqueued_emails do ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later end assert_emails 1 end def test_deliver_enqueued_emails_without_block ContactMailer.welcome.deliver_later deliver_enqueued_emails assert_emails 1 end
If the :queue
option is specified, then only the emails(s) enqueued to a specific queue will be performed.
def test_deliver_enqueued_emails_with_queue deliver_enqueued_emails queue: :external_mailers do CustomerMailer.deliver_later_queue_name = :external_mailers CustomerMailer.welcome.deliver_later # will be performed EmployeeMailer.deliver_later_queue_name = :internal_mailers EmployeeMailer.welcome.deliver_later # will not be performed end assert_emails 1 end
If the :at
option is specified, then only delivers emails enqueued to deliver immediately or before the given time.
