cannot get mailer in test case using tgext.mailer

[NIWDEK]

Hi All,

I am using tgext.mailer to send email and I found that it is testable for email testing by setting debugMailer to dummy

Then, in the functional test case, I try to get mailer to assertion "mailer = get_mailer(tg.request)"

However, I got an exception

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/xxx/.virtualenvs/yyy/lib/python3.3/site-packages/nose/case.py", line 198, in runTest
    self.test(*self.arg)
  File "/Users/xxx/Workspace/yyy/yyy/yyy/tests/functional/test_subscriber.py", line 28, in test_subscribe_with_email_should_send_email
    mailer = get_mailer(tg.request)
  File "/Users/xxx/.virtualenvs/yyy/lib/python3.3/site-packages/tgext/mailer/__init__.py", line 22, in get_mailer
    return request._mailer

    'thread' % self.____name__)
nose.proxy.TypeError: No object (name: context) has been registered for this thread

I wonder how should I get a mailer in test case. Thanks

I have tried to use get_mailer(None) to obtain the global one, but got "{AttributeError}'Globals' object has no attribute '_mailer' "

Then I trace the tg.app_globals object, I found it is initialized twice , one is in load_app() and another one is in setup_app(). Is that behavior normal?

As you test is not performing any request, you cannot get the mailer from tg.request (there is no tg.request being served).

You should retrieve the previous request (the one that sent the email) from the testing variables and then get the mail of that request.

Like:

resp = self.app.get('/send_email')

ctx = resp.req.environ['paste.testing_variables']

mailer = get_mailer(ctx['req']) 

sent_email = mailer.outbox[0]
