Error saving attachment #28

Closed cas27 closed 11 years ago

cas27 commented 14 years ago

Here is my code

  vmFolder = '/home/user/vm/'
  email = gmail.inbox.emails(:unread).first
  email.attachments[0].save_to_file(vmFolder)

Getting this error

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/mail-2.2.5/lib/mail/message.rb:1251:in `method_missing':
undefined method `save_to_file' for #<Mail::Part:0xb74e9c1c> (NoMethodError)

I have the same problem (

stefanobernardi commented 13 years ago

Has anyone solved this?

cas27 commented 13 years ago

Yeah here is how I got it to work

File.open(saveLocation,"w+") { |local_file| local_file << email.attachments.first.decoded }

stefanobernardi commented 13 years ago

Yup I got it too with email.attachments.each do |a| file = File.new("attachments/" + a.filename, "w+") file << a.decoded file.close

do your stuff here

      File.delete("attachments/" + a.filename) #just in case
    end

stefanobernardi commented 13 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply anyways!

stefanwille commented 12 years ago

I think the cause here is that both the 'mail' gem and 'ruby-gmail' define a class Mail::Part, and the former gem wins the naming conflict.

macedo commented 12 years ago

This works for me too! ;)

myobie commented 11 years ago

Sorry, this was a mistake in the readme, the mail gem doesn't offer that method.
