I''m running the latest from svn (rev 285). I''ve been having a problem launching a process repeatedly. What happens is that I get a debug message "some read error" and then the worker refuses to run again. I''ve stripped my worker down to just doing a puts and it still happens. Like the other threads I want to launch my workers as needed, however I get the

Hi, just updated backgroundrb to release 1.0.1 and am getting this error when trying to start backgroundrb. vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/framework/core.rb:18: uninitialized constant Packet::ClassHelpers (NameError) Just updated from r298 where everything was working fine. If I comment out the offending line then backgroundrb starts but I can''t connect to it from my app. Anyone have any

What does the method query_all_workers() do? There is no documentation on what this method returns (1.0.1 version). Orion -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/attachments/20080118/9f9b8112/attachment.html

Hi All, I have this small doubt. Does backgroundrb have anything to do with dispatch.fcgi? some dispatch.fcgi are taking memory as much as 186 MB .... this is monstrous man... Also, if i put load rails environment with backgroundrb.yml file to be false.What will happen? i just loses access to db through ActiveRecord right? I can still use normal mysql gem to access db and modify the

If an exception is thrown in a worker, will the worker process exit? If it does and I don''t want it to exit, do I need to rescue all exceptions in every worker method? Joe

I am writting a web service for authenitcation of users and was using web_service_scaffold :invoke for testing it out...and was able to consume it using .NET. But my question is, whats the simplest method using which i can use the same web service in the current Web App. I mean, not from an external application or something but from the current web apps itself. I found one method in AWDR, and

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 am sure of). Here''s the dump: no

Can anyone explain why BackgrounDRb is switching form DRb to SMTP protocol? That seems like a lot of overhead to add to the messaging back and forth? Orion

In environment.rb file, I initialize a connection to some data vending servers, through TCP sockets. The connection object is global and hence the code: #environment.rb $generic_connection = ConnectionClass.instance (singleton class) $generic_connection.connect_me( this call will make the connection) The above approach is to make sure that, only one connection is made to the data vending

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:

Hi Folks, I have been working to fix BackgrounDRb memory usage as such. Ruby1.8 GC isn''t fork friendly and it seems to use a lot of memory because when you fork, it sets a bit in all the objects in global scope which causes OS to all pages in child process. A classic solution is to use fork and exec, rather than just fork. Its working and pretty stable, but you loose ability to pass

I am sure..again I am missing something, but I am trying to start a worker, when backgroundrb starts and it doesn''t seem to work. Here is my config/backgroundrb_schedules.yml file: feed_worker: class: feed_worker job_key: feed_worker_key worker_method: do_work trigger_args: repeat_interval: 20.minutes I even tried this from Rails controller: # def start_feed_worker #

Hello, Does reload_on_schedule force the worker to be reloaded even if it is already running? Or does it just load the worker if its not running when the schedule fires? I want to load the worker at the scheduled time if its not running, but I don''t want to reload the worker if its already running. Make sense? Thanks, Scott

Say I have a job that runs every minute, but it takes longer than a minute to execute. Will it start a new job every minute? If it does, then how would I make a job that sleeps for a certain amount of time, then restarts? I have a job that could take an hour or two to complete, and I don''t want to have multiple copies of that job running at the same time. Joe

I''m trying to run a single worker that could perform a periodic task for a given user. >From a controller, I imagine something like: def start_job MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :foo_worker, :worker_method => :perform_task, :data => { :user_id = current_user.id }) end def check_job @status = MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :foo_worker)[current_user.id] end

Quick question: If I want to schedule different worker methods defined in the same worker to trigger at different times, is this possible? Would the following scheduler yaml work? :schedules: :foo_worker: :worker_method: method1 :trigger_args: 0 */10 * * * * * :job_key: some_key_1 :foo_worker: :worker_method: method2 :trigger_args: 0 */15 * * * * * :job_key:

Can anyone understand what the production.log file is telling me. I''ve tried playing with the permissions for the folders and it makes no difference. Every time I submit the form to upload the file I get "Application error (Rails)" which doesn''t really help.

I''m working on an application that does extensive database searching. These searches can take a long time, so we have been working on moving the searches to a backgroundrb worker task so we can provide a sexy AJAX progress bar, and populate the search results as they are available. All of this seems to work fine until the size of the search results gets sufficiently large, when we start

Sorry for attaching patches in emails to the mailing list, but I''m still unable to login to Devjavu for Backgroundrb (I''m able to login just fine for Merb''s Devjavu and submitted a ticket successfully). Anyway, I encountered a bug when trying to #ask_status of a worker before it''s run (or rather, before its result_hash has been set to something). Not sure why
