I use backgroundrb for many long tasks in my system, but I''m having issues with one in particular. Two large tasks for me are importing people and updating companies. def import_contacts(args = nil) thread_pool.defer(args) do |job_id| begin job = ImportJob.find(job_id) job.process_job rescue => err logger.error "MscWorker#import_contacts

I have a previous question regarding long tasks and the thread_pool (sorry for the dup, I didn''t see the first go through).

I moved my import contacts worker to its own file and set the pool_size to 1. class ImportContactsWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name

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

I have an ActiveRecord question... I have a legacy MySQL database with a weird naming convention - all table and column names have a prefix ''_'' , which is annoying, and some of the column names are plain misnomers. I would like to apply a pre-defined mapping between MySQL column names and method names to be used in the Ruby class, without having the underlying column names

Hi, I''ve figured out how to join tables using :joins, but is there a more elegant way to do this using built-in rails methods? Here is the code: Hiringstep_Job.find( :all, :joins => ", hiringsteps", :conditions => ["hiringstep_jobs.hiringstep_id = hiringsteps.id AND job_id = ?", 1]) Thanks, David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve upgraded to mySQL 5.0, and it''s gone pretty smoothly except that on DateTime.now doesn''t seem to return a value that mySQL likes any more, as seen in the following exception: Incorrect datetime value: ''2005-11-20T15:33:12-0800'' for column ''logged_at'' at row 1: UPDATE notes SET `due_on` = ''2005-11-20'',

Hi, how can I get Rails to generate SQL queries with conditions in the JOIN clause? What I would want is: SELECT * FROM people p LEFT OUTER JOIN jobs j (p.job_id = j.id AND j.salary > 9999999) I tried People.find(:all, :include => ''jobs'', :conditions => ''jobs.salary > 9999999'') but that generates SELECT * FROM people p LEFT OUTER

So I have a list of jobs which I show like this. (cleaned up..) _list.rhtml <table> <% for job in @jobs %> <tr><td><%= job.name %></td></tr> <% end %> I want checkboxes next to each and every job name and a button or link somewhere else on the page to "delete selected", "publish selected" , and "unpublish selected"
