Rails 异步发送邮件和测试

异步执行在当前（这个东西在rails的领域，变化的可能很大，总是有更好用的插件，更酷的想法冒出来）

[size=large]最流行的应该就是delayed_job[/size]，这个的资料比较多，例如，railscast就有介绍。所以，[url=hlee.iteye.com]老猪[/url]这里就简单说说用法。delayed_job异步思路还是，在需要调用的地方加delay，例外启动一个deamon，处理任务。
其中，railscast的介绍已经被JE某XD翻译了，用到的参考[url]http://enn.iteye.com/blog/632960[/url]

并该方案当前的Rails 3解决方案JE也有

参考如下：

[url]http://t0uch.iteye.com/blog/673336[/url]

安装：

script/plugin install git://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.git

生成：

  script/generate delayed_job

rake db:migrate
#后台处理
rake jobs:work

生成表如下：

  create_table :delayed_jobs, :force => true do |table|
    table.integer  :priority, :default => 0      # Allows some jobs to jump to the front of the queue
    table.integer  :attempts, :default => 0      # Provides for retries, but still fail eventually.
    table.text     :handler                      # YAML-encoded string of the object that will do work
    table.string   :last_error                   # reason for last failure (See Note below)
    table.datetime :run_at                       # When to run. Could be Time.now for immediately, or sometime in the future.
    table.datetime :locked_at                    # Set when a client is working on this object
    table.datetime :failed_at                    # Set when all retries have failed (actually, by default, the record is deleted instead)
    table.string   :locked_by                    # Who is working on this object (if locked)
    table.timestamps
  end

[size=large]另一个知名的解决方案是ar_mailer
[/size]

ar_mailer的时间要长，用起来和delayed job的解决方案差不多，异步的思路把任务存到数据库，然后，后台任务轮询触发。

和Delayed Job相同，也有一篇介绍Rails 3使用的在letrails上
[url]http://www.letrails.cn/archives/ar_mailer-rails-3-plugi[/url]
[url=hlee.iteye.com]老猪[/url]自己当前的项目用的ar_mailer

大致使用如下：

$ sudo gem install adzap-ar_mailer

  config.gem "adzap-ar_mailer"

  ./script/generate ar_mailer

  #config/environments/production.rb 

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :activerecord

启动后台

 $ ar_sendmail

[size=large]最后，测试异步的发送邮件[/size]

也是使用一个插件，保证在测试环境邮件并不真正发送，就可以验证了

 #$ ./script/plugin install git://github.com/ngty/action_mailer_cache_delivery.git

#RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/test.rb, 

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :cache
