I''m digging into BackgrounDRb and having some problems testing a worker class. The following line in my test (created from script/generate worker Test) throws an error: worker = TestWorker.new(:test_string => "testing...") Error: /activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb (NameError) from

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me. I installed the plugin with: ruby script\plugin install svn:\\rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb It added a bunch of files,

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.

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

Hi all, I want to execute certain ruby script periodically in my rails application running on windows platform. I wanted to try out backgroundrb, but it seems that the support for Windows is deprecated with release 0.2.0 of BackgrounDRb. The latest release is 0.2.1 & the plugin still doesnt support windows platform. Can anyone throw more light on this? Also, can anyone suggest any

I installed BackgrounDRB as instructed: script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb rake backgroundrb:setup I started it with: rake backgroundrb:start In a model I make the call: MiddleMan.new_worker :class => :rss_worker In /lib/workers I have file rss_worker.rb, which contains the class: Class RssWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails def do_work(args) ... end end

What are people are doing when they need to deploy a new code base? You can''t just restart backgroundrb, because then you lose any long-running backgroundrb processes. But then you''d conceivably have to wait several hours for all your procs to complete before pushing out the new code base. I was originally thinking that during code deploys, we''d start up a second

I''ve been having a terrible time with the backgroundrb scheduler. The issues I''m having is that the scheduled actions aren''t ran at all and if they do, the process stays around forever. I''m using the backgroundrb as a nightly cron to run some accounting operations. questions: 1. How can I have the process destroyed after the worker completes? 2. Any idea on

Hi all, I just read Ezra''s article on BackgroundRb and decided to use it one of my projects. I installed the plugin into my rails project using script/plugin and then ran rake backgroundrb:setup to copy the yml scripts. Now my backgroundrb.yml looks like ======= --- port: "22222" timer_sleep: 60 load_rails: true environment: development host: localhost database_yml:

I started emailing monit mailing list because I started getting this problem where I couldn''t start backgroundrb with monit anymore, thinking it was a monit problem. However, I back tracked a bit since I had added code to my project, and monit was able to start backgroundrb again. I seem to have zeroed in on the problem. I''m not sure where the problem lies - maybe monit or

Does backgroundrb support SSL like drb? I was unable to find any sample configurations including SSL.

I have an application setup as follows: Core code is in: /home/subdomain1/current accessed at subdomain1.domain.com I then have various instances of this app that are sym-linked to the core (minus a custom config file and views) setup like: /home/subdomain2/current accessed at subdomain2.domain.com I have backgrounDRb running to update a cache of RSS files.

Thanks for this great app. I am having some problems configuring it in my server. I have a single app deployed three times, one is for testing, one is for demoing and the other one is for production. I read that it was unnecesary and it will not work to have multiple instances of backgroundrb for each of my deployments. I read that it was enough to instantiate backgroundrb only once from one of

This might be a really simple question, with a simple solution. I have two rails apps running on the same box. Right now I am starting two Backgroundrb servers (11006 and 11007). Wondering if it might be possible to run only one and have the second app point to the first app''s server? TIA, Kit
