Hello, I have written a ruby file that starts a new webrick server from an existing project. When I call this file, the webrick server will start correctly. However, when I insert the exact same code inside a fork in a controller method in another rails project, and that code runs, it doesn''t start the server correctly. I''ve actually noticed this previously. I can write a ruby program that will do system() calls to grab certain info about running processes, but when I try to do the same thing inside a controller method in an existing rails project, the code doesn''t return anything. Any idea what might be causing the code inside the rails project to break? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Don''t do that kind of stuff in a Rails controller. There''s a lot of magic underneath and forking can do strange things to your app if it doesn''t break it completely. Check out the Backgroundrb plugin for this. Jason Brian wrote:> Hello, > > I have written a ruby file that starts a new webrick server from an > existing project.
