They are just added to the `ActionMailer::Base.deliveries` array. - -Testing mailers normally involves two things: One is that the mail was queued, and the other one that the email is correct. With that in mind, we could test our example mailer from above like so: - -```ruby -class UserMailerTest < ActionMailer::TestCase - def test_welcome_email - user = users(:some_user_in_your_fixtures) - - # Send the email, then test that it got queued - email = UserMailer.welcome_email(user).deliver - assert !ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.empty? - - # Test the body of the sent email contains what we expect it to - assert_equal [user.email], email.to - assert_equal 'Welcome to My Awesome Site', email.subject - assert_match "<h1>Welcome to example.com, #{user.name}</h1>", email.body.to_s - assert_match 'you have joined to example.com community', email.body.to_s - end -end -``` - -In the test we send the email and store the returned object in the `email` variable. We then ensure that it was sent (the first assert), then, in the second batch of assertions, we ensure that the email does indeed contain what we expect. - -NOTE: The `ActionMailer::Base.deliveries` array is only reset automatically in `ActionMailer::TestCase` tests. If you want to have a clean slate outside Action Mailer tests, you can reset it manually with: `ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.clear` +You can find detailed instructions on how to test your mailers in our +[testing guide](testing.html#testing-your-mailers).
