Nomethoderror (undefined method `finder’) with engines and Rails 2.2
Fix the NoMethodError with ActionMailer in Rails 2.2 by applying a simple patch. Save time and troubleshoot efficiently with our guide.
I was getting this error with Rails 2.2 when using ActionMailer.
NoMethodError (undefined method 'finder' for #<ActionView::Base:0x34146fc>)
It stems from a line in engines/lib/engines/rails_extensions/action_mailer.rb
This is some problem between Rails 2.2 and Engines. Reinstalling engines didn’t seem to help.
Simply put, you need to go here and apply this patch:
http://github.com/lazyatom/engines/commit/499ce3b0480d8fa9375203f5efcadb8cf6ea9efe
This took me hours to figure out. I don’t know why there isn’t any more help on this problem.

What your systems won't tell you
The most dangerous gap in any organization isn't between what you know and what you don't. It's between what your systems know and what they're willing to say.
Most of your infrastructure is decoration
Organizations are full of things that look like governance, strategy, and quality control but are actually decorative. The trigger conditions nobody reads, the dashboards nobody checks, the review processes that rubber-stamp. When you finally audit what's functional versus ornamental, the ratio is alarming.
