Hi, we are trying to use BDRB for background processing of long-running reports, and have two issues - one is that worker does not see our Report class from Rails, throws a: /var/apps/ror_trunk/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:22:in `load'': undefined class/module Report (ArgumentError) from

Hi, I have a page were users can start jobs that may take several hours to run. BackgrounDrb is perfect for me and seems to be working well most of the time but some times I have the following problem: My worker is set up like this: class UploadWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :upload_worker set_no_auto_load(true) def create(args = nil ) file = args[:file]

Hi Folks, I am glad to announce 1.0 release of BackgrounDRb. This would be a major release since 0.2 release of BackgrounDRb. Here is a brief summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is DRb no longer. It makes use of EventDriven network programming library packet ( http://packet.googlecode.com ). - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally

Hi, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

Hi, this is possibly a bug report (I'm not sure if this is a feature). It's related to the --keep-dirlinks option, when combined with --delete .
