Failing Mailer Test - ActionView::Template::Error: Missing host to link to - ruby-on-rails

Question

I currently have a failing test for one of my mailers and can't figure out what's causing it. I've tried some other solutions on stack like, adding Rails.application.routes.default_url_options[:host] = '???' to the config environment files but to no avail. Here is the error output form the terminal
Error:
OrderMailerTest#test_shipped:

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Answer 1

Try adding this to a helper that only your mailers will use and see if this works:
def protect_against_forgery?
false
end
