Backgroundrb devel - Jun 2007 - send objet between 2 workers

Hi,

I''m using backgroundrb but I have 2 problems with it.

First is when I launch a thread Toto from the do_work method. Toto
can''t
access to a class variable defined before... (undefined method `+'' for
nil:NilClass)
I suspect that thread is launched when backgroundrb start but the worker not
..

My code is :

class MonWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase
  attr_reader :mavar_send, :mavar_receive

  @@mavar_send, @@mavar_receive = 0

def do_work(args)
   trace = Thread.new{t_trace}
   trace.join
end


def t_trace
  while true
    @@mavar_send += 1
    sleep 1
  end
end


Second is I''m trying to call a worker from another to send it an
object, is
it possible ?
job =MiddleMan.worker(:second_worker) doesn''t work in my first worker.

I see this bug report :
http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/projects/backgroundrb/ticket/55
but I don''t understand this : "I can pass the actual worker
reference into
the other workers in args and that works"

I tried this but it doesn''t work better, second worker crash :


s_worker = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :FIRSTWorker,
                                    :job_key => :first_worker,
                                    :args => "")

 MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :SECONDWorker,
                                   :job_key => :second_worker,
                                    :args => {:sms_job_key => s_worker})


def do_work(args)
   @sms_worker = args[:sms_job_key]
end


def test
  @sms_worker.test("hello")
end

works better with     s_worker = MiddleMan.worker(:sms_worker) before !
