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 there, We''ve been using previous version of bdrb (drb based one) for a while and it was running relatively OK. We recently attempted to upgrade to the new version to keep up / use supported version but we ended up reverting to the older version. Here are the things that moved us to revert : 1) With the workers we never manage to pass this error: '''' You have a nil

I''ve been using backgroundrb for... about an hour now. I must say, I''m impressed. But I''m a bit stumped on where to find the "official" documentation. There''s an API online at backgroundrb.rubyforge.org, but I don''t see the methods available for MiddleMan, etc. Right now, I''m trying to figure out how to get a list of all

Hi there, In the latest releases bdrb attempts to load all models during startup routine. We have models that depend on the particular RUBY_PLATFORM but they live in the same models directory. It seems that the inability to load them stops bdrb. Could the models requiring / loading be done one demand, the same as Rails does? thanks, emil

Hi there, We run several (3-4) Rails servers behind the reverse proxy / load balancing web server serving the single application. All Rails instances share the same database and use the database as a session storage. Memcached is also part of the picture. I''m looking into using Backgroundrb for some large uploads / parsing task that provide progress status updates (via ajax calls).

I''m trying to figure out how to clear the for a worker from my controller. In my aysnc_xxx process I set cache[key]. However, I don''t see an easy way to clear the cache from a controller with invoking something on the worker. What I was looking for was something like MiddleMan(:worker_name, :worker_key_name).cache[key]= Is there something like that and I''m just

Hi, All I have an encountered an issue where the args field is not saved correctly to the database. I encounter an error like this: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (RuntimeError: ERROR C22021 M invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xcb3a H This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by

Hi Folks, We are glad to announce shiny new release of BackgrounDRb, which will soon become 1.0. A quick summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is no londer DRb, its based on event driven network programming library packet ( http://www.packet.googlecode.com ) . - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally gone. Lots of work has went in making

I tried to upgrade my existing application to RC2 last night. Like many, I use this mostly for running scheduled tasks. For the moment, I''ve abandoned the effort, but am looking forward to being able to use this. Feedback below: First, the reason I was looking forward to this upgrade was to use the threaded scheduler. I have an application with long-running tasks. I found that

Since RC2 was released, I've started re-building the music library I left behind at my previous job (all my stuff from CDs, ripped into MP3s). Recently I started an aggressive campaign of converting my CDs to vorbis files... I'm doing about 6 or 7 CDs a day at work =) Yesterday I was listening to my Talk Talk album, and noticed that on this one live track, the stereo seemed to have

Hi. I am using BackgrounDRb to process thumbnails and upload to S3 - things are hunky-dory in development (thumbs are generated, these are uploaded to S3, the metadata is saved to trhe DB, and I get a nice status page updated by periodic calls via ask_status), but when I tried to deploy to our staging server and stop/start BackgrounDRb via Capistrano, things blew up - well, not exactly,

I like the concise version of stubs available on true mocks: => #<Mock:0x32f76d4> >> foo.stubs(:one => ''hi'', :two => ''again'') => {:one=>"hi", :two=>"again"} Why can''t we do it on ''real'' objects? >> foo = Object.new >> foo.stubs(:method1 => ''a'',

def edit @item = Item.find(params[:id]) redirect_to :action=>:list if (request.post? and @item.update_attributes(params[:item])) end I could probably condense it into one line (something like ...and(@item=Item.update...)), but I''ll probably actually use: def edit @item = Item.find(params[:id]) if request.post? and @item.update_attributes(params[:item]) flash[:notice]

Hi, Is there a concise/ruby way to do the following: [Note: 1 and 2 below are not related.] (1) for p in 0...@order.line_items[k].shipment_lines.length shipline_qty = shipline_qty + @order.line_items[k].shipment_lines[p].quantity end (2) ts = Array.new for tk in s.trackings ts.push(tk) end

Thanks for the previous tips and suggestions. Here's a more concise example: Input file: <aaaa> <bbbb> <cccc> <dddd> I want everything on one line, i.e., remove all newlines. Like so: <aaaa><bbbb><cccc><dddd> Simple perl code: #!/usr/bin/env perl # Remove newlines from a file in two ways: # (1) Just "chomp" them; # (2) Replace

Is there any doccumentation on using the ldapsam_nua backend?? I would like to setup my server in that fashion, and have looked all through the docs tree I downloaded with the cvs sources without sucess. The LDAP howto in the docs tree is completly useless as it was written for 2.2.3

Hi, I know this is a little bit offtopic on this list. But I can't find a more appropriate forum that I can ask. If there is a high quality forum on statistics textbook discussion, please let me know. I am reading Applied Linear Statistical Models. One drawback that I feel about this book is that it discuss many examples, which is to distracting. Numbers are give in those examples. Comments
