Conflict With ActionMailer?

While setting up actionmailer and testing it, I have been running into an error. It appears to be caused by prototype-rails, since my example works when I use jquery. I don't know enough about the internals to track the source of the bug down.

UserMailer.welcome_email.deliver

Hi, could you please provide a minimal way to reproduce this problem?

sallustfire commented

Create a new rails (3.2) project. Update the Gemfile to use prototype. Create the following mailer class:

class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default :from => "notifications@example.com"


  def welcome_email
    @url  = "http://example.com/login"
    mail(:to => "test@example.com", :subject => "Welcome to My Awesome Site")
  end
end

Calling UserMailer.welcome_email gives an error.

This solves the problem (tests didn't run easily, so I'm afraid I skipped that).
