Heroku, needs constant AppController updates?

Dear All,

Fairly new to rails and Heroku, so could be doing something wacky - do
let me know if you think my code practice is off, even if unrelated to
this error, I''d like to learn!

I''m using Rails 3.0.0, ruby 1.8.7, and
''sqlite3-ruby'', ''1.2.5'', :require
=> ''sqlite3''.

I''ve got an application that goes off and scrapes websites for event
information, to do this I''m using:

nokogiri - for scraping
date - to help with parsing
chronic - to help recognise dates
open-uri - to open the url

all of these are just gem ''gem-name'', so latest unspecified
versions.

The code that does this scraping is in the ApplicationController class -
a bad place for it?
I''ve just got it working as a background process using delayed_job, I
have a class called EventSearcher with the required ''perform''
method.

My error occurs when I upload to Heroku, if I make changes to the app,
but NOT to ApplicationController,
do $git add .  /  git commit ....  / git push heroku master  / heroku
workers 1   /  heroku open
then the process runs, appears successful in the logs, but returns no
events

The error can be solved I''ve discovered by making small changes to
Application controller, such as adding the line
logger.debug"Changing AppController again"
then doing $git add .  /  git commit ....  / git push heroku master  /
heroku workers 1   /  heroku open
this time the process runs, appears in logs to take longer, and returns
the scraped info as required.

Any ideas why this should be??

I have tried solving this myself by putting in ''logger.debug"
commands,
but these don''t show on my heroku logs, any idea how to get them to
show
up?

I''ve put the code below, for ApplicationController, EventSearcher, and
part of SuggestedEvents it''s a bit of a mess I know, but runs fine on
local machine.

I don''t know if it is related to your problem, but it does seem a
bizarre place to put that code - I''d stick it all in the EventSearcher
class and have EventSearcher inherit from object directy)

Re: Heroku, needs constant AppController updates?

Thanks for the advice Fred,

I''ve moved the search logic / parsing across to the EventSearcher class
now as you suggested, and it seems to be working. I had it in there to 
begin with, and moved it out because it couldn''t find other classes it 
needed. But I now think this was caused because I didn''t restart the 
local server before retrying.

When you say "and have EventSearcher inherit from object directy)"
could
you explain how to do this, currently I have EventSearcher inherit from 
Application controller with

class EventSearcher < ApplicationController

is this what you mean?

thanks,

Mike

Re: Heroku, needs constant AppController updates?

I tried making EventSearcher just inherit from object, ie:

class EventSearcher

but then I get errors from almost the first line, eg.

failed with NameError: undefined local variable or method `logger''

for my debug statements, and I don''t suppose it''ll know about
my model
Classes either. Having it inherit from ApplicationController solves 
these problems, but is there a better way of doing this?

cheers,

Mike

Finding your model classes should not be a problem. logger is an instance method
on controllers, so you don''t get it here. Rails.logger will get you the
same logger though (and you could define a logger method yourself to save some
typing.

Re: Heroku, needs constant AppController updates?

Cool, learning plenty here, cheers!

I''ve got a logger method in the class now, and so taken away the 
unnecessary inheritance. Cheers!

My heroku app is working for now, although I''m not sure it''ll
stay
working, it seems to stop fetching events after a day, and needs a new 
git push, with changes to specifically the "def
do_search(event_search)"
method which is the one that does the work of getting the url, and 
parsing the html. A bit weird, as it works every time on local machine. 
I''ve asked them about this on the heroku mailing list as well.

Thanks for your help!

M

If your daemon is idle for extended periods of time it might be your
mysql connection timing out. You could try tossing in a call to
ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.verify_active_connections! to weed
out dead connections

Why don''t you set up a cron job or use Resque or delayed_job to run the
job periodically?
