Encoding::UndefinedConversionError sending email with attachments

[kerby82]

I'm using resque mailer to send email with a pdf attachment created on the fly.

This is the code in the controller:

 begin
        Notifier.send_contract(params[:struttura],@contract,@struttura).deliver_now
      rescue => e
        Rails.logger.error("Error  #{e.inspect} ")
      end

This is the mailer method:

	def send_contract(params,contract,struttura)

		@contract=contract
		@struttura=struttura

		[email protected]

		mail(:to => recipient, :subject => "Registrazione e Attivazione - #{struttura.nome}") do |format|
			format.html # renders send_report.text.erb for body of email
			format.pdf do
				attachments['Contratto.pdf'] = WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string(
						render_to_string(:pdf => 'Contratto,:template => 'contracts/show.pdf.erb',locals: {:@params => params,:@contract => contract})
				)
			end
		end
	end

I'm obtaining the following error:

Everything is working just fine for other email that don't include pdf.

And presumably this works fine if you yank ResqueMailer from your mailer? If so, can you post a simple example project and I'll try to find time to take a look? txx
