Eventmachine talk - Nov 2007 - EventMachine::run - How can I ensure that this

Friends,

I am writing an event system which has an interface on a web site which can
create events.

The creation of events opens up EventMachine::run and connects to the event
server, and sends messages.

The problem comes if this is run inside of say, event driven mongrel, where it
will crash fatally, the same as:
EventMachine::run { EventMachine::run { } }

The only solution that doesn''t involve heavy monkey patching (load
scripts for the evented mongrel patching into the EventMachine module :-/), is
to look through caller(), as far as I can tell.

EventMachine::running? maybe.

It could be really useful for building tests on top of EventMachine units too
(for which I''ve done heavy mocking today).

Thanks,

James.

Get the latest from subversion, there now exists EM::reactor_running?
