I'm using the Fetcher plugin which daemonizes polling the server for
emails. When it pulls in an email, it passes it (the Net::Imap
object) to the receive method of MailProcessor < ActionMailer::Base.
The receive method then calls the process_message class method of
IncomingMessage < ActiveRecord::Base, which should store the incoming
message to the database as well as do a number of other things.
However, this method does not seem to be getting executed for incoming
emails. On the other hand, when this method is called from the
controller containing the sms_in action, the message gets processed/
stored correctly. These are the methods in question:
class MailProcessor < ActionMailer::Base
def receive(mail)
IncomingMessage.process_message({ :sender => mail.from,
:subject => mail.subject,
:channel => "email",
:person_search_field => "email",
:date => mail.date,
:body => mail.body,
:delivery_point => mail.to })
end
class MessengerController < ApplicationController
def sms_in
@incoming_message, @opt_or_feedback_object,@processing_notes =
IncomingMessage.process_message({ :sender => params[:smsfrom],
:subject => params[:smsmsg],
:channel => "sms",
:gateway_id => params[:smsid],
:person_search_field => "mobile_phone",
:date => params[:smsdate],
:carrier => params[:network],
:delivery_point => params[:smsto] })
end
class IncomingMessage < ActiveRecord::Base
protected
def self.process_message(msg_hash)
@incoming_message = create_incoming_message
#more code to process the message...I didn't paste it here
because it calls
#a number of other class methods and they would be too much to
paste
end
def self.create_incoming_message
IncomingMessage.create(:subject => @msg_hash[:subject],
:person_id => "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
:body => @msg_hash[:body],
:channel => @msg_hash[:channel],
:gateway_id => @msg_hash[:gateway_id],
:carrier => @msg_hash[:carrier],
:date => @msg_hash[:date],
:delivery_point_id => @delivery_point_id)
end
