Why my recoverable module from Devise gem isn't working? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have UserMailer class with next code:
User.rb:
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
-----------------
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "denys.medynskyi#gmail.com"
def password_reset(user, password)
#user = user
#password = password
mail(:to => user.email,
:subject => 'Password Reset Notification')
end
def congrats_email(user)
mail(to: user.email, subject: "Welcome Message")
end
end
setup_mail.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "denys.medynskyi",
:password => "********",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
and from devise.rb:
Devise.setup do |config|
# ==> Mailer Configuration
config.mailer_sender = "UserMailer"
end
and after forgot password submit I go to some page, but it deosn't show me any notice adn doesn't send email.
What I'm doing wrong ?

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure this is the cause of any or all of your problems, but if you're trying to work with Devise, overriding some of the default mailer behavior but not all of it, you should inherit from Devise::Mailer rather than ActionMailer::Base.
So
class UserMailer < Devise::Mailer
Edit: The method that Devise calls in Devise::Mailer to render the password reset mail template is reset_password_instructions. So your method isn't even overwriting that. Also, the way Devise works, it's the resource that eventually calls the method that sends the instructions e-mail. The job of the reset_password_instructions method is just to generate the e-mail from the view template. So it looks to me like the code you've got above isn't really working with the normal Devise flow. What calls password_reset in your app?
