Hi there, I have a scheduled task which I started from Rails, set to run every 5 minutes, it takes probably about 20-30 seconds to execute (it''s aggregating some feeds). It ran for about 5 hours and then mysteriously stopped -- the logs show no errors. This kind of sucks because it''s like a silent failure, has anyone else had this problem? --simon --

..., it doesn''t seem to log the error stack trace at all. What''s the best practice on this? Should all methods in a worker catch exceptions and manually log the info? Or is this something I can change/hack in backgroundrb to force error reporting?

Hi, Why is cache_sweeper not a documented method? I was pretty sure it used to be, but I could be wrong. I can''t seem to find any information on it anymore in the online docs. As a side note, looking at the code for cache_sweeper it appears to only work with the :only option, not :except (ignores it)... what''s the reason for this? Thanks, Andrew

I''m looking for a way to give the user a progress monitor on large image manipulations with RMagick. I first looked at this method - http://www.imagemagick.org/RMagick/doc/imageattrs.html#monitor - to do it in a controller action, but since I can''t call multiple renders in an action, I would need to store the progress in the database and call another action from javascript to

...es.yml and the MiddleMan section seems to indicate this. If so, how can I go about changing it? download the trunk and submit a patch? I wouldn''t mind helping out with documentation, especially parts I found confusing when I first started using backgroundrb. Thanks.

...from (irb):14 I think I''m missing something fundamental. I''ve looked through the fb developer docs and the facebooker code, but I"m coming up short. Can anyone set me straight? Thanks. Wilhelm -- http://webjazz.blogspot.com http://www.mobtropolis.com http://www.3cglabs.com

Hi. I''m using backgroundrb to, in part, wrap smtp transactions made through actionmailer. The problem is that when smtp fails with a timeout error, the worker simply stops at that point. No exception is returned. I''ve tried wrapping this call in a begin...rescue block but no exception seems to be making it back to the worker (other methods are correctly passing exceptions to

Hi all, I wanted to test requests from internal facebook apps, so I''ve been mimicking FBML requests from facebook in my tests using the following: def test_can_facebook_internal_app_login fb_login_as :facebooker num_of_members = Member.count facebook_request :get, :home assert_response :success assert_equal num_of_members, Member.count
