Devise Reconfirmable - alternative email is not picked

Question

I am allowing users to change their email in Devise.

Since this commit: https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/commit/ce071502eeb5c5c5199436f6694bfb6103010c4a it is possible to send an alternative email than the usual "Welcome" Registration email.

Devise mailer now includes a specific method for this: https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/blob/master/app/mailers/devise/mailer.rb

I have then created 2 different views in my my_model/views/mailer folder: email_changed.html.erb and email_changed.text.erb

Though this alternative email is never picked. The original Welcome email is sent instead...

Am I missing something?

My Devise version is 4.7.3 (also I am coming from an old version)

and my devise initializer has config.reconfirmable = true

I have seen this hack but I guess it shouldn't need be used anymore: How to send two different emails for devise confirmable and devise reconfirmable?

Answer 1

Is that my_model/views/mailer folder right? according to the code (*) it should be views/my_model/mailer .

I would suggest you to copy that helper file inside your project so you can put some byebug statement and properly debug it.
