Rails mailer instances do not have any context about the request. However this is needed to service multiple hosts. I was hoping to invoke url_for for the mailer, but I am confused to both the placing of it AND how it should be constructed (the api documentation provides examples for controllers, not mailers).
The form submission has a hidden_field :host, value: @site.host
which percolates to the request
Parameters: {"authenticity_token"=>"[FILTERED]", "user"=>{"email"=>"[email protected]", "host"=>"localhost"}
environments/development.rb
has config.action_mailer.default_url_options
commented out.
initializer for devise has config.parent_mailer = 'DeviseMailer'
The users/passwords_controller.rb has been edited
class Users::PasswordsController < Devise::PasswordsController
def create
puts params[:host]
super
end
and mailers/devise_mailer.rb sets
class DeviseMailer < ActionMailer::Base
layout 'mailer'
before_action :set_mailers_url_host
def set_mailers_url_host
puts 'host'
puts params
ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = params[:user][:host]
end
I did not expect the mailer to know the parameter as it is designed to inherit from < ActionMailer::Base
However, the log is indicating that the password controller generated is not being invoked. the 'host' string is being put, then an empty line indicates the mailer know nothing of the params

NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):
app/mailers/devise_mailer.rb:8:in `set_mailers_url_host'
The error is expected given params[:user][:host]
is an unknown entity to the mailer. The bypassing of the passwords controller, not.
Also attempted: commenting out the devise_mailer before_action and adding to the application_controller.rb, where @site is set in before_action :set_site
:
def default_url_options
{ host: @site.host, locale: I18n.locale }
end
While this is the most succinct way of dealing with the case, that fails with error ActionView::Template::Error (Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true)
Why are the checks (via puts
) in the passwords controller not being invoked?
How should url_for thus establish the required string based on params[:user][:site]

This is a way to solve your issue but I'm not quite satisfied with the beauty of this.
