Deface Email text

[Sofy Basir]

Hi,

I was attempting to deface the email views but was unsuccessful due the deface not being able to read "text" files:

Deface::DSL does not know how to read '/store/app/overrides/spree/order_mailer/confirm_email.text/append_text.text.erb.deface'. Override files should end with just .deface, .html.erb.deface, .html.haml.deface or .html.slim.deface

The deface:

<!-- insert_after "erb:contains('order_mailer.confirm_email.thanks')" -->
    My text I want to insert

Is there a way to do this with deface that I'm not familiar with? Or is it intentional that we should override the views completely?

Interestingly deface can find the selector:

$ bundle exec rake deface:test_selector['spree/order_mailer/confirm_email.text',"erb:contains('order_mailer.confirm_email.thanks')"]


    Querying 'spree/order_mailer/confirm_email.text' for 'erb:contains('order_mailer.confirm_email.thanks')'
    ---------------- Match 1 ----------------
    <%= Spree.t('order_mailer.confirm_email.thanks') %>

Cheers

Hi Sofy,

Deface needs structured data to parse the view, since it’s relying on nokogiri for the xpath expressions. So text files are not supported. 

The email views needs are mostly very custom, so best approach here is to override them completely.

I do find it interesting that the selector search did work though.

That makes sense. Good to know the reason!

Thanks
