Hello all, We''re currently running version .1.x in our environment. We would like to move to .2.x to take advantage of some of the improvements made running in a multi-process environment. We deploy to a linux environment but develop locally in Windows. I''m aware that a number of people have reported the ability to run .2.x of backgroundrb inside cygwin, and for the most part,

Hi, Can somebody point me in the right direction about what approach would be best to load-balance between two or more physical servers running backgroundrb while using BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase with mongrel? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason

Hey all, I''m having some issues moving a project that incorporates Backgroundrb onto a staging server... For some reason (surely of my own doing), my RailsBase workers are insisting on using trying to access my development DB instead of my "production" DB. When I try to load a model object from within a worker, I get the following: 20061120-21:54:28 (26296)

I have the next including files structure : - controller fileaA.rb including line (#8): require "fileB"... - /lib/fileB.rb with main header: load ''backgroundrb/worker.rb'' load ''backgroundrb/ worker_rails.rb'' class FileB <

I have installed backgroundrb. I can start it. I have read everything I can get my hands on, and have read the list for a few months. I have written a worker, and am ready to start. This worker reads a queue, and processes it (sends queued emails). Sends 10, sleeps for a minute, sends 10 until done - very straightforward. My question is, what would be the best way to run this? I have

Hi everyone, I''ve a class that try to spawn two workers, every 5 seconds. The code is something like: while true do MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :researches_worker,:job_key => :researches) MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :products_worker,:job_key => :products) sleep(5) end I''m using ":job_key", so if a worker hasn''t already ended its work

Hi everyone, I''m new to backgroundrb, and I''m trying to get started with a simple example, yet with no success. This is the code that I have in RAILS_ROOT/lib/workers/testing_worker.rb class TestingWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args) # This method is called in it''s own new thread when you # call new worker. args is set

I''m using the latest backgroundrb. Do I need to setup a worker in order to use it with Rails? I remember using "Worker::RailsBase" before. Also, how do I access the logger from within the worker? Thanks a lot! -- Lalo

This morning I switched over my backgroundrb server from development mode to production mode. After that all I was getting was errors when attempting to connect to the backgroundrb server. I checked the backgroundrb_server.log file and noticed the following exception 20070423-10:30:00 (29673) development database is not configured - (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified) In my database.yml

I''m having a little difficulty understanding how to retrieve results from deceased workers (from the documentation it seems that it is possible to do this). I pasted my simple test below. If anyone could point out what i should be doing differently i''d be very grateful. My test worker: class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args)

While debugging stale backgroundrb it became apparent that there''re memory leaks in it. Here''s top object counts dump: 36715 String 6211 Array 5598 Proc 3150 Hash 1478 DRb::DRbObject 1313 Regexp 1272 Class 750 Thread 741 Socket 739 Slave 739 Slave::LifeLine 737 Process::Status 691 DrillReminderWorker 391 Module 160 Range 75 Gem::Version

Ezra et al: I have this problem: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2006-December/000578.html Any progress on it? Or are unit tests simply impossible for now? -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!

Ok two things that bug me 1) http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/projects/backgroundrb/ticket/48 i thought i''ll just post ticket link - but well - it''s strange 2) when i switch base class from RailsBase to Base i can''t access MiddleMan - i get error NameError: uninitialized constant MiddleMan from (drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrbunix_localhost_2999)

I''ve been trying unsuccessfully for the better part of today to write a worker that can use by ActiveRecord model classes. The bizarre thing is that worker just stops at the point accessing the database connection. An exception isn''t raising, it just dies. My worker class is below, I''ve interspersed log messages throughout to try to determine where it is dying. =====

Hi! I''ve just a created a really simple rails scheduled worker for backgroundrb to start playing with : class SessionCleanerWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args) logger.info "SessionCleaner> started" CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.destroy_all( [''updated_at <?'', 120.minutes.ago] )

Hey all, I''ve come accross BackgrounDRb and I have to say it''s a wounderful piece of software. It has the potential to solve so many of the problems that I am facing with a current RoR project. Like many others I was having issues with the scheduling side of things, I noticed that hemant said there was a new version coming out. So I checked out the version from trunk, and have

Hi all, I''m a newbie to backgroundrb and am having trouble integrating it into my rails-app. I''m using namespaces to differentiate between the parts of my app. When I want to create a new worker, it seems that it cannot find the worker object. Here''s my code: -------------------- controller app/passwd/index -------------------- class Passwd::IndexController <

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

Hi All, It might be lack of sleep, but I am struggling to accurately limit our pool size. It seems like I can specify it on the server with the -s command line option and also on the client via the YAML pool_size. Is that right? Which one wins? Our problem is that we are getting about 40 threads on each backgroundrb box and it''s flooring our db and each bgrb box. We want around 8.
