Create an InboundEmail record using an eml fixture in the format of message/rfc822 referenced with fixture_name located in test/fixtures/files/fixture_name.

# File actionmailbox/lib/action_mailbox/test_helper.rb, line 9 def create_inbound_email_from_fixture(fixture_name, status: :processing) create_inbound_email_from_source file_fixture(fixture_name).read, status: status end

Creates an InboundEmail by specifying through options or a block.

Options¶ ↑

• :status - The status to set for the created InboundEmail. For possible statuses, see its documentation.

Creating a simple email¶ ↑

When you only need to set basic fields like from, to, subject, and body, you can pass them directly as options.

create_inbound_email_from_mail(from: "david@loudthinking.com", subject: "Hello!") 

Creating a multi-part email¶ ↑

When you need to create a more intricate email, like a multi-part email that contains both a plaintext version and an HTML version, you can pass a block.

create_inbound_email_from_mail do to "David Heinemeier Hansson <david@loudthinking.com>" from "Bilbo Baggins <bilbo@bagend.com>" subject "Come down to the Shire!" text_part do body "Please join us for a party at Bag End" end html_part do body "<h1>Please join us for a party at Bag End</h1>" end end 

As with Mail.new, you can also use a block parameter to define the parts of the message:

create_inbound_email_from_mail do |mail| mail.to "David Heinemeier Hansson <david@loudthinking.com>" mail.from "Bilbo Baggins <bilbo@bagend.com>" mail.subject "Come down to the Shire!" mail.text_part do |part| part.body "Please join us for a party at Bag End" end mail.html_part do |part| part.body "<h1>Please join us for a party at Bag End</h1>" end end
