I just installed BackgrounDRb to take care of sending emails to a list
of users and when I try to call the worker, it causes the request to
"freeze" until Mongrel times out.
This is the line that it fails on:
MiddleMan.worker(:invite_worker).send_invite_emails_test(@event.id,
send_to)
The ''send_to'' parameter is an array of user type (strings)
which the
worker will use to filter the list to send the email to. If I remove
this array things work fine. So does this mean I''m limited to
primitive types when I call a worker function?
Here''s the worker code:
def send_invite_emails_test(event_id, send_to)
logger.debug("Start message...")
event = Event.find(event_id)
for invite in event.invites
logger.debug("For invite #{invite.id}")
end
end
The various log files that BackgrounDRb don''t seem to be much help
either. If I call ''logger.debug'' inside a worker, where does
the log
message go?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I upgraded it through Git and it still stalls and times out.

If you want two arguments, i am afraid, you will have to pass them as an array. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That''s my experience anyway. Just mentioning for future browsers of this thread. WRT logging, this probably isn''t the smartest answer but the only way i could do it was to make a new logger inside the worker: eg from one of mine class LmailWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :lmail_worker @@logger = Logger.new("log/backgroundrb_custom.log") def ldb(debug_text) @@logger.info "### #{caller[0]}: #{debug_text}" end def send_mail(arg_hash) ldb "arg_hash = #{arg_hash.inspect}" ...etc -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
