I''m sure this is the billionth newbie help request on here, but I sure am hitting my head against the wall on this. I''ve tried numberous of Ezra''s examples that I was able to find online. The best I''m able to get is nothing happens and development log says: NoMethodError (undefined method `progress'' for #<PingWorker:0x3a786c0>):

Probably a simple question, but humor me: Let''s say I have a page (in Rails) that lets a user type a shell command (say, ''ping blah.com'') into a form and it fires off a worker that then updates that page using AJAX (all of this is working so far). How would I correctly wrap the worker in a begin..rescue so that it spits out ''invalid command''
