thr3ads.net - Backgroundrb devel - one more "uninitialized constant" problem [Jun 2007]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to backgroundrb, and I'm trying to get started with a simple example,
yet with no success.

  This is the code that I have in RAILS_ROOT/lib/workers/testing_worker.rb
  class TestingWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase
    def do_work(args)
    # This method is called in it's own new thread when you
    # call new worker. args is set to :args
      logger.info('TestingWorker do work')
    results[:do_work_time] = Time.now_to_s
    results[:done_with_do_work] || = true
  end
  end

And this is the code that I have in
RAILS_ROOT/app/controllers/mytest2_controller.rb
  class Mytest2Controller < ApplicationController
  def new
    key = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :testing_worker)
    worker = MiddleMan.worker(key)
    #worker.other_method
    #worker.delete
  end
end

  And this is what I get when I access: http://host:3000/mytest2/new
   NameError in Mytest2Controller#new
   uninitialized constant TestingWorker
 RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..
 Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

I don't understand why I'm getting the "uninitialized constant"
error. I've read other postings with the same issue, and I understand that you
must restart the server after adding/making modifications to your workers. The
server is restarted with the following commands: ./script/backgroundrb stop and
./script/bacgroundrb start, right? (I don't even think this applies to me, since
first I created all necessary files for the example and then I started the
server; I did restart the server several times just to make sure this is not a
problem)
  I also tried to use the console and I get a similar message.
Btw, I have changed nothing in the default setup, except in
/server/lib/backgroundrb/console.rb, where I commented out the line
"require 'irb/completion'" due to a strange error that I was getting.

  Thanks,
  Tiberiu

PS. I want to make sure that the way I downloaded backgroundrb is not faulty.
Instead of getting it via subversion (trying to save time by not involving my
admin), I just downloaded file by file from
http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1.
