Test for contact form not working.

[nic...@gmail.com]

I'm working with Rails 4 and have developed a test that is failing and I don't understand why.

  test "message content" do
    message = messages(:two)                       
    mail = MessageMailer.new_message(message)
    assert_equal "Message from #{message.name}",      mail.subject
    assert_equal ["in...@example.com"],                              mail.to
    assert_equal message.email,                                         mail.from
    assert_match message.content,                                     mail.body.encoded
    assert_match CGI::escape(message.email),              mail.body.encoded  # Test if it is an escaped email address, which a.o. means that the @ is converted to browser-friendly code: %40.
  end

The last three test lines all three fail. I get the error message:
 FAIL["test_message_content", MessageMailerTest, 3.994477556]
 test_message_content#MessageMailerTest (3.99s)
        Expected: nil
          Actual: []
        test/mailers/message_mailer_test.rb:10:in `block in <class:MessageMailerTest>' (this refers to the assert_equal message.email line)

I don't understand why it is expected nul and actually empty.

My fixtures include:
two:
  name: MyString
  email: nore...@example.com
  content: MyString

The message mailer is:
  default from: "<nor...@example.com>"
  default to: "Website <in...@example.com>"
  def new_message(message)
    @message = message
    mail subject: "Message from #{message.name}", from: message.email
  end

Anyone got an idea what is going wrong?

Try a
puts messages(:two).inspect
at this point to get more clues as to what is happening.
