Merb 1.0

So Merb 1.0 was released 2 days ago during RubyConf, just

sudo gem install webrat
, which is a Ruby Acceptance Testing plugin. Here's the Git repo if you want to check it out.

Anyway, I'm way behind on my TDD and BDD and all other testing acronyms so I decided to give it a go. These are way simple tests and I actually did it the normal Rails way initially before "converting" to the context way of doing it.

Next create a file called mailer.rb in the same lib directory with the following contents: require 'lib/smtp_tls' require 'action_mailer' class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base def my_email(from_email, from_name, message) recipients "marktucks@gmail.com" from from_email subject "Contact from " + from_name body :name => from_name, :email => from_email, :message => message end end Mailer.template_root = File.dirname(__FILE__) Mailer.delivery_method = :smtp Mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => "587", :domain => "YOUR_DOMAIN", :authentication => :plain, :enable_starttls_auto => true, :user_name =&
