# module ActionMailer::TestHelper

### Public Instance Methods

assert_emails(number) { || ... } click to toggle source

Asserts that the number of emails sent matches the given number.

    def test_emails
      assert_emails 0
      ContactMailer.deliver_contact
      assert_emails 1
      ContactMailer.deliver_contact
      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.deliver_contact
      end

      assert_emails 2 do
        ContactMailer.deliver_contact
        ContactMailer.deliver_contact
      end
    end

    # File lib/action_mailer/test_helper.rb, line 27
    def assert_emails(number)
      if block_given?
        original_count = ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size
        yield
        new_count = ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size
        assert_equal original_count + number, new_count, "#{number} emails expected, but #{new_count - original_count} were sent"
      else
        assert_equal number, ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.size
      end
    end

assert_no_emails(&block) click to toggle source

Assert that no emails have been sent.

    def test_emails
      assert_no_emails
      ContactMailer.deliver_contact
      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

    # File lib/action_mailer/test_helper.rb, line 57
    def assert_no_emails(&block)
      assert_emails 0, &block
    end
