Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but there''s a useful article on Rails performance, "A Look at Common Performance Problems in Rails" here: http://www.infoq.com/articles/Rails-Performance written by Stefan Kaes, who has done most of the performance analysis and tuning on the Rails framework. regards Justin

hi everyone, I have this case where I need to check some records in the database of a specific data condition every 5 seconds and do some business logic if this scenario is true. Problem is there doesn''t seem to be any timer service in the rails framework. Anyone have a general idea of how to attack this problem? thanks, -dan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me.

Hi everyone, I''m writing a lightweight AJAX application using Rails on the server side as a RESTful web service provider. I need the web service to support both JSON and XML I/O. Outputting data in XML and JSON is easy (using to_xml and to_json), and it''s also easy to do XML input as Rails does it for you automatically. Is it possible to somehow have the same automatic parsing

...JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does.

For example, does the late- bound procs I''ve added to the new routing system make it non-threadsafe?

Is anyone here using Rspec and Ruby to test software written in other languages? I''m about to start an R language project, and may also be doing some work in another language (I''m not sure which one yet, but it''s one of the ones that''s part of the Axiom symbolic math package). I''d dearly love a test framework that can handle all three languages,

I''ve been googling around, and have found a lot of tools to convert images to the right pixel size - anyone have a good command line based one for linux? Also, how do you issue a command from a rails app? Thanks, Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, When writing a Rails app, what common tasks can likely result in performance issues? The one I''m aware of is something like: Model.find(:all).each do |elem| # do stuff end Especially when there''s lots of elements in the Model. What other ones are there? Also, does Rails do caching of queries? If I''m in a view and I do: <% if user.admin? %> ... and

In my app i upload a file, convert it with ffmpeg, delete the original and make a small thumbnail out of the big thumbnail ffmpeg makes. At the moment it seems like these actions are tripping over each other - how can i make the app wait until ffmpeg has completed it''s output before doing the next thing? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The file column plug-in is great, but there is a problem with it. Well, two... But the other is well documented now. :^) Consider a time when you''ve created a CMS for a client and it''s been in use for over a year. Say 1500+ images have been uploaded so far. Now the client comes back with a simple request... ''Can you change the thumbnail size to 80/90, rather than

I have a WxRuby application that takes a few inputs from the user and uses that information to search through a large file for matches. The application works very well, with one exception. If I click anywhere in the frame while the application is searching through the long file, the application hangs. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks

Hi guys, I have a weird failing spec, for which I just cannot figure out the reason of failure. I''m now rewriting my controller specs based on the advice of David and Ashley, and I got stuck on this (see: [rspec- users] specing rescue, ensure and else blocks of an Exception). http://pastie.caboo.se/111221 I''ve tried everything, like stubbing out :update_attributes! , even

Using MacPorts To Install Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.0 RC1 WARNING: If you want to live on the edge, please continue with the steps below.

Furthermore, this installation requires you to remove ALL Ruby related gems and ports because we are performing a clean install.

Hello Guys, I''m reviewing the code for 1.9, and forgot about this when we first spoke on this subject. The current way we stop threads is using Thread#raise to spread StopServer exception, which will not work as expected in 1.9. 1.9 will treat raised exceptions as #kill, like JRuby does, so the worker threads will not finish serving the client and _then_ exiting, but will be

Hey so, People are asking about Mongrel Ruby 1.9 compatibility. Isn''t the point of 1.9 for library developers to have time to get ready for 2.0? It''s not like 1.9 is a production release. Evan -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC
