Can we avoid loading ActionMailer?

[fgrehm]

Hey folks! 👋

I'm trying out the gem in development but am having trouble with action_mailer:

16:07 $ rails console

Type 'jobs_help' to see how to connect to the available job servers to manage jobs

/.../ruby/3.3.5/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/audits1984-0.1.7/app/mailers/audits1984/application_mailer.rb:2:in `<module:Audits1984>': uninitialized constant Audits1984::ActionMailer (NameError)

  class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean?  ActionView
        from /.../ruby/3.3.5/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/audits1984-0.1.7/app/mailers/audits1984/application_mailer.rb:1:in `<main>'
        from /.../ruby/3.3.5/lib/ruby/3.3.0/bundled_gems.rb:75:in `require'
        from /.../ruby/3.3.5/lib/ruby/3.3.0/bundled_gems.rb:75:in `block (2 levels) in replace_require'

We cherry pick the Rails engines used by our app and we don't use action_mailer. I tried to uncomment the require "action_mailer/railtie" on our application.rb but ended up hitting other problems.

Any thoughts around this?

PS: I ended up moving on to other things for now 😭 Will come back to this another time 🙏 🤞
