Hello, I am unable to get the backgroundrb server to run. Initially I got: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb::MasterProxy (NameError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0...

I get this error periodically in backgroundrb.log, but only on my production box (the one running ruby 1.8.5) - my dev box doesn''t get this error. As far as I can tell, everything is working ok, despite the error (I don''t really know how to determine if the jobs are getting threaded successfully, but they are running, that I...

I''m struggling to keep backgroundrb v2 running for more than 24 hours. It appears to be running fine for a while, then tries to fire off a worker (exactly the same worker it''s been running for the past few hours), and it suddenly dies. I haven''t found any pattern for the cause of this. In backgroundrb_ser...

Hey All, I am looking for an example of the proper config settings for background rb to run my rails app and my backgroundrb instance on separate machines (or more precisely, to have a rails cluster with one backgroundrb machine). Does anyone have such examples? Thanks! -Noah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/attachments/200...

...runk/simile_timeline/ This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in ''regular Rails''. When I run script/backgroundrb start, I get an error saying that method is not found (error follows sig). Backgroundrb is able to start up with those acts_as declarations commented out. Presumably I need to require the plugin file somewhere, but I wondered if backgroundrb might be meant to load the same things as Rails,...

...for new eBay auctions to post. If it finds an auction, then it posts it. If there are no auctions in the database that are queued up, it simply does nothing. I got the worker to finally run as a scheduled worker, every minute. However, after about 30-45 scheduled runs, it simply stops running. My backgroundrb_schedules.yml file: ------ ebay_runner: :class: :ebay_auction_worker :job_key: :ebay_auction_runner :trigger_type: :cron_trigger :trigger_args: 0 * * * * * * ------ My ebay_auction_worker.rb file: ------ class EbayAuctionWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails # Set this worker to run every minu...

I''ve created a couple of tasks in my deploy.rb file for starting and stopping backgroundrb on the remote server. The stop task runs fine and kills the process. And the start task *seems* to run successfully, but backgroundrb is never started on the remote host. Has anyone had success with this? Here are my deploy tasks: desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default values)'...

Hi everyone. Backgroundrb is doing some really sweet stuff for my project. Thanks! I am trying to integrate backgroundrb with cruisecontrol.rb. I started off by creating a simple Rakefile::::: desc ''task for starting up backgroundrb'' task :cruise do template = <<-EOF :backgroundrb: :ip: 0.0.0...

Hi, I''m having a problem where connections started through BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote backgroundrbs I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason

Hi, Got everything setup nicely with backgroundrb for the development environment and running tests with rspec. However, I have to keep editing the backgroundrb.yml file, to switch between development and testing environment. How can I declare a development, testing and production environment in backgroundrb.yml? Thanks in advance Rai

Hi all, I''ve got the error below in my backgroundrb_debug.log. I''ve tried to reproduce the error in the development environment, but the only way I can get the same thing is by calling ask_work with a bogus worker name. Calling it with the production code causes no error. Here''s an example of what the code calls: MiddleMan.ask_wo...

...t, I''ve abandoned the effort, but am looking forward to being able to use this. Feedback below: First, the reason I was looking forward to this upgrade was to use the threaded scheduler. I have an application with long-running tasks. I found that scheduled tasks in previous versions of backgroundrb would not run if the worker scheduled before it was still running. This seemed counterintuitive to me (given the whole idea behind backgroundrb) but after reading documentation and forums, it seems many others ran into this issue too. RC2 planned to do away with this. The Good: - (Still) Easy I...

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb 0.2.1 in a production environment and for most parts I''m very happy. We are using it to do some heavy video editing on the server side and it works great except that under, what seems heavy load the below problem happens intermittently.

Hi, I get this error when starting bgdrb using "rake backgroundrb:start" (on a Mac using bgdrb 0.2.0): /Users/gl/Projects/xxxxx/xxxxx/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/ backgroundrb_server.rb:33:in `format_message'': undefined method `strftime'' for "2006-11-22T12:34:18.524572 ":String (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib...

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone has tried using the Paperclip file upload plugin with Backgroundrb. My current implementation uses attachment_fu - I save the file initially to the file system without generating thumbs, then a bdrb process picks up that file, generates thumbs, and saves to S3. This works fine and dandy, the only hitch is I want to save image metadata in the same table as...

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of arguments to compose a command line to convert a file into flv in my recipe config/deploy.rb...

I have the next including files structure : - controller fileaA.rb including line (#8): require "fileB"... - /lib/fileB.rb with main header: load ''backgroundrb/worker.rb'' load ''backgroundrb/ worker_rails.rb'' class FileB < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase ...........................................................................

Can a worker kill themselves when they''re ''done''? Or do I have to do that either from the controller or the worker manager?
