Lovely.Mail and Mail Testing
==============================

This package mainly provides a simple way to test the mail delivery using the
current configuration. There is no need to change the mailing configuration
for the functional tests.

>>> from lovely.mail import testing

Before we can set up the mail testing we need to register the mailer
utilities.

>>> from zope import component
>>> from zope.sendmail.mailer import SMTPMailer
>>> component.provideUtility(SMTPMailer(),
... name='lovely-mailer')

>>> from zope.sendmail.delivery import QueuedMailDelivery
>>> component.provideUtility(QueuedMailDelivery('some_path'),
... name='lovely-mail-delivery')

Now we set up testing. This is the code which should go into you
setUp-function for your tests.

>>> testing.setUpSMTPTesting('lovely-mailer', 'lovely-mail-delivery', unit_test=True)

Testing simply replaces the smtp mailer of the utility to a test smtp mailer.

>>> from zope.sendmail.interfaces import IMailer, IMailDelivery
>>> mailer = component.getUtility(IMailer, 'lovely-mailer')
>>> mailer.smtp
<class 'lovely.mail.testing.TestMailerConnection'>

And the mail delivery gets a temporary directory.

>>> delivery = component.getUtility(IMailDelivery, 'lovely-mail-delivery')
>>> delivery._queuePath != 'some_path'
True

Testing provides a list with already sent mails.

>>> testing.sentMails
[]

Now we send a mail.

>>> messageId = delivery.send('README', ['MAILQUEUE',], 'I am a testing mail')
>>> testing.sentMails
[]

The mail is not sent yet because we need to trigger mail delivery.

>>> testing.triggerMail()
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails)
[('README',
('MAILQUEUE',),
'Message-Id: <...>\nI am a testing mail')]


We also provide a simple function to send mails.

>>> from lovely.mail import sendmail
>>> sendmail('subject', 'me@gmail.org', ['you@gmail.org'], 'my mail body')
>>> testing.sentMails = []
>>> testing.triggerMail()
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails)
[('me@gmail.org',
('you@gmail.org',),
'Message-Id: ...\nFrom: me@gmail.org\nTo: you@gmail.org\n...\nmy mail body')]

If we provide tuples for the addresses we get this :

>>> sendmail('subject', ('ich', 'me@gmail.org'), [('du','you@gmail.org',)], 'my mail body')
>>> testing.sentMails = []
>>> testing.triggerMail()
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails)
[('ich <me@gmail.org>',
('du <you@gmail.org>',),
'Message-Id: ...\nFrom: ich <me@gmail.org>\nTo: du <you@gmail.org>\n...\nmy mail body')]


Attachments
-----------

Attachments must be provided as a list of tuples containing a file like object
providing "read", the filename and the mime type of the attachment (if known).

>>> from StringIO import StringIO
>>> f1 = StringIO("I am the content of file 1")
>>> sendmail('subject', ('ich', 'me@gmail.org'), [('du','you@gmail.org',)],
... 'my mail body', attachments=[(f1, 'f1.txt', None)])
>>> testing.sentMails = []
>>> testing.triggerMail()
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails)
[('ich <me@gmail.org>',
('du <you@gmail.org>',),
'Message-Id: ...')]
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails[0][2].split('\n'))
['Message-Id: <...>',
'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============...=="',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Subject: subject',
'From: ich <me@gmail.org>',
'To: du <you@gmail.org>',
'Date: ...',
'',
'--===============...==',
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit',
'',
'my mail body',
'--===============...==',
'Content-Type: application/octet-stream',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64',
'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="f1.txt"',
'',
'SS...',
'--===============...==--']


>>> f1.seek(0)
>>> sendmail('subject', ('ich', 'me@gmail.org'), [('du','you@gmail.org',)],
... 'my mail body', attachments=[(f1, 'f1.txt', ('text','plain'))])
>>> testing.sentMails = []
>>> testing.triggerMail()
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails)
[('ich <me@gmail.org>',
('du <you@gmail.org>',),
'Message-Id: ...')]
>>> pprint(testing.sentMails[0][2].split('\n'))
['Message-Id: <...>',
'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============...=="',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Subject: subject',
'From: ich <me@gmail.org>',
'To: du <you@gmail.org>',
'Date: ...',
'',
'--===============...==',
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit',
'',
'my mail body',
'--===============...==',
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"',
'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit',
'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="f1.txt"',
'',
'I am the content of file 1',
'--===============...==--']

And clean up.

>>> testing.tearDownSMTPTesting()
>>> mailer.smtp
<class smtplib.SMTP at ...>
>>> delivery._queuePath == 'some_path'
True
>>> testing.sentMails
[]
