Griddler issue: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Question

I'm trying to use Griddler in my Rails 4 app. The processor appears to be receiving the email (via mailgun) but Griddler isn't saving it. I'm getting a 500 error with a specific error of ArgumentError in Griddler::EmailsController#create wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) .

Here's my processor code:

class EmailProcessor
  def self.process(email)
     Post.create!({ body: email.body, email: email.from })
  end
end

which came straight from a tutorial at http://sendgrid.com/blog/receiving-email-in-your-rails-app-with-griddler/ .

I'm using griddler (1.0.0) and griddler-mailgun (1.0.1).

Any thoughts on why I'd be getting this error would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

I just encountered the same issue but with Mandrill and resolved it when I discovered that at some point recently Griddler was updated.

Your EmailProcessor code needs to be updated to the following:

    class EmailProcessor

      def initialize(email)
        @email = email
      end

      def process
        Post.create!({ body: @email.body, email: @email.from })
      end

    end

I found this out when I re-read the Configuration Options on Griddler GitHub page.
