Hello all, I just looked through the list and didn''t find a good answer to this.. so posting away. I have some backgorunDRB workers that are all working nicely. In fact, I have no problem right now. But when i was doing the coding, I found a need occasionally to fire up the debugger and have a look at what was going on inside, but found no way to do this directly. Is there a way to run the debugger interactively on a BackgrounDRB task? My work around was to take the code out of a worker and put it in a standard class in my lib dir... this works to some extent. On the other hand, my final implementation has the backgrounDRB worker not doing a lot of code, as I consider it a bit of a controller in the MVC view in Rails and instead, all it is doing is directing several classes and modules to do the hard work. It just co-ordinates and runs it all. So in this case, having a debugger is something that when you need it, you need it :) The other option is sprinkling the code with @logger calls... but this is a hack. Ideas anyone? Regards Mikel
