Backgroundrb devel - Dec 2006 - worker method not running in background

When i call a worker method my browsers hangs until the task is finished.
The same code works nicely in the background when inside the do_work method.
Does this mean i can only start a task in background via the do_work method
?
Or am i doing something wrong here ?

regards tom

Hi Tom,
You need to call your_method() via work_thread() so that your_method is
wrapped in a (background) ruby thread.  Something like:

your_worker.work_thread(:method => :your_method)
or maybe
your_worker.work_thread(:method => :your_method, :args => some_args)

If you try calling do_work directly (instead of via new_worker()) I''d
expect
your browser to hang as well.

Hope that helps,
Jason
