So, what''s the status of this project? I''m a little confused. The documentation at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org seems out of date. It refers to http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1, which doesn''t work. All I want is a way to easily set up tasks that should run periodically. Some stuff should run every 10 seconds, some stuff once a day, etc.

Hi, pardon if this is a duplicate mail, I forgot to click the subscription link the first time around. I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now (older version) and I''ve had so many headaches because of it that I began looking for a replacement technology. And then I saw the new and shiny backgroundrb website, looking good! Initially I used the version maintained by

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

Hi, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'' for main:Object

Hi all, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails in a Rails app that doesn''t have a database. so far I have just been faking it out by dumping in a sqlite3 database just to make Rails happy. I was using for test::unit a rake task that eliminated the calls to database prep: # Added this .rake file to keep Rake happy without a database. # Remove once a database is in the picture.

I am having trouble getting rake vlad:start to work.. here is the output: ivan:04:39 PM:www2.sustainablewebsites.com> rake vlad:start (in /Users/ivan/Sites/www2.sustainablewebsites.com) !!! PID file log/mongrel.8000.pid does not exist. Not running? mongrel::stop reported an error. Use mongrel_rails mongrel::stop -h to get help. !!! PID file log/mongrel.8001.pid does not exist.

I managed to find this in the archives, so far: http://www.nabble.com/Setting-up-CCRB-behind-apache-proxy-tt14016053.html#a14099749 Found a better alternative to doing this in my .htaccess instead of messing with the httpd.conf, in case someone is interested: --- snip --- RewriteEngine On ### for cruisecontrol RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:3333/$1 [P] AuthType Basic

Hi, has anybody seen a patch that provides socks version 5 support for the dynamic portforwarding feature? I?ve seen thats implemented in ssh.com?s ssh version, but found nothing about openssh. Only thing i found was a patch to provide socks4a. cu sleepi

I''ve created a couple of tasks in my deploy.rb file for starting and stopping backgroundrb on the remote server. The stop task runs fine and kills the process. And the start task *seems* to run successfully, but backgroundrb is never started on the remote host. Has anyone had success with this? Here are my deploy tasks: desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

Hi, I have my rails sites tricked out with capistrano, and backgroundrb, so I can easily use the ant tasks, but I would like to be able to start and stop backgroundrb from within rails. I have a few reasons for this: 1. Using fastcgi, backgroundrb would start under the apache user and the same mod_security context as apache, instead of my developer account which has many more privileges. 2.

Sorry for the newbie question but I''m stumped: I have an app that requires sudo to run mongrel_rails. For my capistrano recipe is do it like this: sudo "mongrel_rails start -e production -p #{application_port} -d -c #{current_path}" Which works famously. Now I have tried several things for my restart task. Here they are: sudo "cd #{current_path} && sudo

It''s sending e-mail every hour, but I changed to sleep for a day, but keep send the e-mail by hour. I don''t know what to do to send daily.

I am having issues when using unicorn with a Capistrano deployment. >From what I have been able to understand Capistrano uses a scheme in wich every release is deployed inside the releases directory under a unique name and if the transaction was successful, creates a symlink named current that will point to that release. So I end up with a deployment directory such as:

Hi, I am learning cucumber. I have integrated the Devise with my rails 3 application. My problem is I have to write a test which will create a project. For that I have to make sure that user should be logged in. So I have written the user login feature first which is working fine. After that I have written the creation of project scenario. Whenever I am running that scenario we are getting an

My app is set up without database.yml in version control. I created a shared_path/config dir, and put database.yml in it. After I update the code, I want to link the app''s database.yml file to the shared config. So I added this task desc ''Copy the database config'' task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do run "ln -s #{shared_path}/config/database.yml

Hi there I''m using the latest release (r300) and ''script/backgroundrb start'' works perfectly when executed on the server, but when put inside a Rake task, it doesn''t launch the worker processes. The Rake task is as follows: task :start_backgroundrb do run "cd #{current_path} && ./script/backgroundrb start" end When I run this task, the

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

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''m having problems launching the spin process via the deploy.rb task. Everything works great when is run the script manually via: % ssh admin@monterey.example.net /Web/Rails/Example/current/script/spin However, when I run ''cap spinner'' or ''rake remote:exec ACTION=spinner'', I get the following errors: % cap spinner loading configuration
