ROR Mailers- Newby to Ruby needs help

[Nicole Morales]

Hi all

Im pretty new to Ruby on Rails.  My boss created an app and is asking me to create a worker to email us when there is a conflict of events for a DJ. It works in the terminal but Im having problems getting the event details of the conflict to display in my mailer.  Im trying to test it out with mail catcher to see if Im doing it correctly but I do not know what to pass for the overlaps parameter in my test.  Below is my code. Can someone help me out?

My worker says this(PLEASE LOOK AT THE CAPS)

class TalentConflictsWorker

    include Sidekiq::Worker

    include Sidetiq::Schedulable

    sidekiq_options retry: false

    MAX_CALENDARS_TO_SCHEDULE_AT_ONCE=10

    

    def perform (user_id)

        

        user=User.find(user_id)

        events=user.calendar.events

        events.each do |e|

            #Checking for conflicting events. If not the same event and has an overlap, display name and start date.

            overlaps=events.where("(strftime('%s',start) - strftime('%s',?)) * (strftime('%s',?) - strftime('%s',end)) >= 0" , e.start, e.end ).where.not(id: e.id)

            overlapsflag=overlaps.present?

            #overlaps=where("(start,events.end) OVERLAPS (timestamp ?, timestamp ?)" AND not(id: e.id).present?

            

            if overlapsflag

                

                CalendarMailer.talent_conflict(user, events, overlaps).deliver

                

                #FOR TERMINAL <---THIS WORKS IN THE TERMINAL (when uncommented) MY ISSUE IS HOW DO I PASS THE OVERLAPS AND GET THOSE EVENTS TO DISPLAY IN THE EMAIL

                #puts "Conflict found", e.name, e.start

                #overlaps.each do |overlap_event|

                #puts overlap_event.name

                #puts overlap_event.start

                #overlapstring=overlap_event.to_s

                #end

            #else

                #puts "NO EVENT CONFLICT FOUND"

            end           

        end       

    end

end

Heres the mailer I THOUGHT PERHAPS I PUT THE DO LOOP IN THE MAILER? 

def talent_conflict(user, events, overlaps)

        @user=user

        @events=events

        @overlaps= overlaps

        overlaps.each do |overlap_event|

                puts overlap_event.name

                puts overlap_event.start

                #overlapstring=overlap_event.to_s

            end

        mail(subject: "SMG Talent: detected an event conflict )")

    end

THIS IS THE HTML 

<p>Event conflicts have been detected.</p>

<ul>

<li><%= @events.name %> held on <%= @events.start %> conflicts with the following event: <%= @overlaps.name %><%= @overlaps.start %></li>

</ul>

puts outputs to the server terminal window, you presumably want to add
it to the text of the email instead.
