Trying out Pony for email

Email is going to be used to activate an account, and I'm leaning towards using the Pony gem to simplify the creations and sending.

Here's how simple Pony is:

Pony.mail(:to => 'test@example.com', :from=>'test@example.com', :subject=>'spam', :body=>(erb :registration_email))

and here's how you can test it with the pony-test gem:

  def test_valid_new_user_signup_should_create_email
    count=all_email.count
    create_user
    assert_equal count+1, all_email.count
  end

  def test_signup_email_should_contain_activation_link
    create_user
    assert_match /http\:\/\//, current_email.body
  end

Don't forget to nclude the Pony test helpers in your test class...

include Pony::TestHelpers
