[BUG] NameError: undefined local variable or method `recipient' for NewMessageNotifier:Class

Bug Report

Describe the Bug:
NameError: undefined local variable or method 'recipient' for NewMessageNotifier:Class
Did you mean? recipients
_recipients
_recipients?
_recipients=
from /Users/akram/.rbenv/versions/3.0.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/activerecord-7.0.4.2/lib/active_record/dynamic_matchers.rb:22:in 'method_missing'

To Reproduce:
Notifier class:

class NewMessageNotifier < ApplicationNotifier
  deliver_by :action_cable do |config|
    config.channel = 'DashboardNotificationsChannel'
    config.stream = "dashboard_notifications_#{recipient.type}_#{recipient.id}"
    config.message = params.to_json
  end
end

Call statement

NewMessageNotifier.with(record: record, params: { snapshot: record.content }).deliver(recipients)

If I comment the config.stream line, it does create the event and all notifications with the correct recipients.

Not sure if it's the same as #366

Environment:

• Noticed gem version: 2.4
• Ruby version: 3.0.3
• Rails version: 7.0.4.1
• Operating System: Ventura 13.5.1

You can't use the recipient variable at the class level. You would use it inside a lambda that gets evaluated later on when it's being delivered.
