Hi, I''m trying to run background process with spawn, I added this method in my model [code] include Spawn class List < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :members has_many :people, :through => :members def import(emails) spawn do emails.split("\r").each do |email| logger.info "\n email #{email}\n" sleep(5) end end end end [/code] when it''s called @list.import(emails) i can see that the log keep going even if the page has already loaded but if I need to make some operations on the model [code] include Spawn class List < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :members has_many :people, :through => :members def import(emails) spawn do emails.split("\r").each do |email| logger.info "\n email #{email}\n" person = Person.create(:email => email, :is_enabled => true) m = Member.create! :list => self, :person => person sleep(5) end end end end [/code] the thread does not run and it stops at the first "email", in the log I see just "email foo" Any hint? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
