Send email with attachment in Ruby

Have you checked out Mail? That is what the new ActionMailer API in Rails 3 is built upon.

"Mail is an internet library for Ruby that is designed to handle emails generation, parsing and sending in a simple, rubyesque manner."

Here comes a quick example from the docs:

require 'mail'@mail = Mail.newfile_data = File.read('path/to/myfile.pdf')@mail.attachments['myfile.pdf'] = { :mime_type => 'application/x-pdf',                                    :content => file_data }

Update: Or even more simply:

@mail = Mail.new@mail.add_file("/path/to/file.jpg")

Sending Email or Email with any type of attachment has become more simple with the "mail" gem installation.

Step:1 Install "mail" gem

Step:2 In the ruby file maintain the syntax given below:

require 'mail'def mailsender      Mail.defaults do        delivery_method :smtp,{ address: "<smtp_address>",openssl_verify_mode: "none" }      end      Mail.deliver do        from     'from_mail_id'        to       'to_mail_id'        subject  'subject_to_be_sent'        # body     File.read('body.txt')        body     'body.txt'        add_file '<file_location>/Word Doc.docx'        add_file '<file_location>/Word Doc.doc'      endend

Step:3 now Just call the method in the step definition.
