[SOLVED] accessing current_user in mailboxer mailer notification

accessing current_user in mailboxer mailer notification

I'm trying to print user name into a mail template which has been created via rails g mailboxer:views.

Whenever I try to call the method, raises an "method or variable current_user not found", although public methods as User.id do prints.

Here's the view

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>You have a new reply from <%=  current_user.name %>: <%= @subject %></h1>
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        <%= raw @message.body %>
      </p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>
      Visit your inbox for more info.
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

And the model

class ConversationMessage
  include ActiveModel::Model
  include Sanitizable

  # Attributes
  attr_accessor :sender, :body, :conversation


  # Validations
  validates_presence_of :body

  # Sanitize contenteditable attributes
  sanitize_html :body

  def save
    if valid?
      ApplicationRecord.transaction do
        # In a transaction, as mailboxer performs many inserts
        sender.reply_to_conversation(conversation, body)
      end
    end
  end

  def mailbox_full_name
    full_name
  end
end

And the mailboxer.rb

Mailboxer.setup do |config|

  #Configures if you application uses or not email sending for Notifications and Messages
  config.uses_emails = true

  #Configures the default from for emails sent for Messages and Notifications
  config.default_from = Settings.env.mailer.sender

  #Configures the methods needed by mailboxer
  config.email_method = :mailbox_email
  config.name_method  = :mailbox_full_name

  #Configures if you use or not a search engine and which one you are using
  #Supported engines: [:solr,:sphinx]
  config.search_enabled = false
  config.search_engine = :solr

  #Configures maximum length of the message subject and body
  config.subject_max_length = 255
  config.body_max_length = 32000
end

There's also a concern which is used for the custom methods mailbox_email and mailbox_name

module DeliveryMessage::Mailboxable
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    acts_as_messageable

    def mailbox_full_name
      full_name
    end

    #Returning the email address of the model if an email should be sent for this object (Message or Notification).
    #If no mail has to be sent, return nil.
    def mailbox_email(object)
      email
    end
  end
end

UPDATE: It is the same issue than this one. Show username on Mailboxer inbox in Rails

And it is solved the same way.

Solution

You do not have access to controller helpers from the mailer view.

Instead you need to use attributes of @message object.

<h1>You have a new reply from <%= @message.sender.name %>: <%= @subject %></h1>
