Hi all, Wondering if it''s possible to access a worker from outside of Rails -- I''ve tried simply including: require RAILS_ROOT + ''/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/backgroundrb.rb'' BackgrounDRb.MiddleMan.get_worker(key) but, I get an error that the ''get_worker'' method is undefined. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, W -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

...et anything useful back out of it. I set up a simple test worker that just does class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :pupil def do_work(args) @progress=0 @pupil=Pupil.find(3) sleep rand*10 @progress=100 end when I try to access this via @pupil=MiddleMan.get_worker(session[:job_key]).pupil once progress hits 100% [I can access progress fine, BTW] and use this in a view, I get an error referring to @pupil as #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0xb78228a0> rather than an instance of Pupil. Am I expecting too much of Drb? I really thought that it would be able to gi...

I''m working on upgrading my app to the latest version of backgroundrb. Everything went find until I tried to execute my tasks. Here is my simple worker for testing: class MscWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :msc_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time end # Send a message to everyone def

...sed from my controller. class MyWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails class MyResult attr_reader :result def initialize(result) @result = result end end def do_work() end def results MyResult.new(100) end end -- my_controller.rb -- def results results = MiddleMan.get_worker(session[:job_key]).results p results.result #=> undefined method `result'' for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x26d15a4> end I got around this by defining the class within the results method and returning like that. Really just wondering if this is by design or a bug? 2. When trying to...

Hey all, I need to launce a rather lengthy process from a small Rails application. It''s the sort of thing (sending out an email newsletter) that would need to be launched from a browser window, but the browser doesn''t need to stick around to see it through. I played around with Thread.new, but I think, based on limited testing, that the threads need to complete before the view

...done} Now that we use the slave gem to manage external workers there is a slight interface change to the middleman. It works the same exact way to start workers with new_worker. But when you want to get a handle on your worker to call methods you need to use MiddleMan.worker (key).method . get_worker or MiddleMan[key] get you a handle on the slave process so you can call shutdown on it and get its PID and all that. But worker(key) gets you the handle on your actual worker object. So thats my notes for you for right now. Please feel free to write in with any questions. The main thing...

Sorry to be such a bother but I''m not getting this. I have two models: Emrec and Session (I''m using AR for session mgmt.) In my worker I can access the Emrec model and delete a record, AS LONG AS I don''t try to access the Session model. With the Session model access commented out as below, the Emrec record gets deleted. If I uncomment those lines, the Emrec

Can''t believe I can''t see the problem here, but after a few hours bashing my head on a brick wall, going to risk looking stupid by seeing if anyone can point out my idiocy (that''s the worst thing about coding on your own). Trying to get BackgrounDRb to take over the scraping task which is currently being done in a Rails controller. That''s not the problem at
