Backgroundrb devel - Sep 2007 - Can :args only be a string?

Here''s something strange!

the_job_key = MiddleMan.new_worker(
  :class => :log_view_to_sf_worker,
  :args  => "just a string"
)
works fine.

But

the_job_key = MiddleMan.new_worker(
  :class => :log_view_to_sf_worker,
  :args  => {
    :landing_page => @landing_page,
    :driver       => @driver
  }
)
does not.

It is as if :args can only be a string, not a hash!

Still exploring this...

I have a worker starting that takes a hash as its args:



MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :parser_worker, :args => {:doc => @doc,
:ip
=> @request.remote_ip})

 

This works fine for me.  Both argument values in the hash are strings.  Not
sure if yours are as well.  It might be more an issue of passing objects in
the hash.
