Hi All, I had a bug in one project, that data get duplicated in the DB due to multiple instances of the application (multiple thins) are accessing the DB at the same time .. The typical mistake. Problem fixed. I just need to write a test code that covers the fixed bug. I need to simulate the concurrent requests that can result in the original bug. I thought of many ideas and decided to go with

Hi, I really need help to understand what is happening while Rails connect to a database, (we area actually using postgresql, so my example will be with postgresql) What I understand is Rails is able to connect to different DB. Actually, this is what we want, and we have made some tests, everything is juste fine. However, all these tests lead us to some important questions that we did find the

Hi, I''m trying to create a "runtime-generic" ActiveRecord class, It means I don''t need to know the table or database, before I create my program ruby-rails. So I don''t need to predefine my database in environment.yml file and pre-build classes inherited from ActiveRecord::Base. I write some code, it seems to work. However, I can''t disconnect my

I''m digging into rails source code. But I''ve got a problem in undestading actionrecord::base source code which is connection_specification.rb. In the body of establish_connection method, def self.establish_connection(spec = nil) case spec when nil raise AdapterNotSpecified unless defined? RAILS_ENV establish_connection(RAILS_ENV)

Hi, We have experienced some problems with ActiveRecord::Base class of Ruby-Rails. We are building a web-application based on the Ruby-rails framework and the web-application needs to access to difference databases, so we do not pre-define our database accesses in the database.yml file. In fact, we are using the ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection() to connect to our database, the function

Hi, We have worked on a problem of connection: Connect to two databases with a single ActiveRecord::Base model class within the same action The main difficulty is how to disconnect the actual connection properly and then let the ActiveRecord establishes a new one. The actual function "remove_connection" removes the connection, but its doesn''t unbind the link between rails and

Hi, I am trying to run Mongrel on win32 to serve an internal rails application. We are accessing legacy data, and some transactions can take 5 to 10 seconds. This is holding up every other request. The -n does not seem to be supported on Win32. Am I missing something, or should I look elsewhere to serve my Rails app on win32? Thanks, Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Greetings! I could use some advice on which version of BackgrounDrb to use in my current situation. I''ve implemented the initial, single-process multi-threaded version in a previous site, but have no experience with the new version. Current situation is as follows. The application involves personal health information and so has very stringent session management requirements. My

Hi there, I''ve been experimenting with implementing BackgroundDRb in my rails app but am running into some problems. The primary problem I''m getting is in cleaning up worker threads, or getting any kind of response out of worker threads. If try using the response function/hash in my Worker the worker will not execute reporting that response is an unknown variable or function.

i''m having some problems getting a simple example going with backgrounDRB. after i set my worker to work i try to get back the result like this: w = MiddleMan.worker(key) w.items comes back as DRb::DRbUnknown (i have items as attr_reader in my worker and access it inside there with @items). the result is actually activerecord results in an array. when i change it so my worker puts

Hi all, I have a property, defined in an external stylesheet: .my_class { background-color: #FF0000; } I want to retrieve the value of this background-color of the class my_class. How can I do that with prototype/scriptaculous ? Thanks in advance, Nicolas Terray

hello, how would you go about this: I would like my app to be able to alternatively draw user data from two sources - a users table in a database and an LDAP server. By alternatively I mean it would be set up to draw from one of these sources, not both at the same time. I would like to have objects of type Person which I would use regardless of where this person is stored, so both the active

Hi all, Is it possible to have a custom utils lib in puppet ? By exemple I want to have a custom class used in many custom facts and many custom function : module_utils/lib/puppet/my_class.rb And in my custom fact I can call this class : > require ''module_utils'' Facter.add("custom_fact") do > setcode do > var = Puppet::Utils::my_class.getVariable()

I have class in a plugin that I want to crack open and add some functionality to for a particular application. So, I created a file by the same name as the class in my app/models folder and added some methods to the class, but, I can''t seem to get Rails (2.2.2) to pick-up the extended definition. I did find while trying to debug the problem that if I paste the extended definition into,

I have an action in a controller that generates and returns a custom png-file, it goes something like this: def custompng #1 gather some userdata from params. #2 make a system call to an advanced java application that renders a png based on the custom data. stores the png on disk. #3 read the png into rails #4 send the png to the browser with method send_data #5 delete the

Hi all, Tried out the mongrel upload progress plugin with Drb and it works great on my OSX development box, but when putting it into production (Ubuntu Dapper), uploads complete but the app isn''t returning any values for upload progress, and uploads are not showing up in the queue when running upload_client.rb. Before anyone asks, yes, I''m running both the mongrel instances and

Hi *, are there some special settings except of "load_rails: true" to make ActiveRecord models accessible within my workers? I''ve just installed the latest version of this great plugin, but I keep getting undefined method [] for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x12345> (line 105 in backgroundrb.rb) when one of the arguments for the worker is an ActiveRecord object. I assume that

My Rails App makes quite a few calls (all different queries) to our Postgres DB. Each time I make a find_by_sql method call, a connection opens and then stays idle. Of course, after 500 or so of these idle postgres processes running, the DB refuses to let me make any more (and I can''t really add more to the postgres.conf). How do I make sure these connections get closed after each query?

Hi devs, I was trying to open a new ticket with a minor doc patch at the BackgroundDrb Trac (http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/) and it seems like only admins have permission to do so. Is this intended? I read in the readme that patches should be mailed to this list, but I much prefer to use Trac since there''s already one set up. Any reason Trac is not open to registered Devjavu users?
