Hi, I''m brand new to BackgrounDRb and trying to figure out the setup. I cloned the git repository today as listed on the BackgrounDRb website. Starting out with a very basic worker, but BackgroundDRb is crashing on a NameError. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!! I am also attaching a text file with the output below since it might be

Hi all, I''m new to this list (and pretty new to backgroundrb). I''d like to jump in with a question, I hope you don''t mind. I''m trying to get my site working with backgroundrb to sent mail. It''s pretty basic stuff and I got it working pretty fast on my local machine (os x leopard). Unfortunately, when I try to deploy to my production machine I

What might be causing this error? I see it once in 2-3 days and it goes away when I restart backgroundrb. Quoted below is my backgroundrb_server_11007.log file. Can I do anything to avoid this?

Hi, I''m a long time backgroundrb user, still stuck using the very ancient original version from Ezra (not even Ezra''s 2.0 version, I''m using the one that didn''t really have a version number). The 2.0 version did very little but crash for me. Anyway I finally got some time set aside to try out this new version you all have been developing.

Sorry if this comes through twice. I already sent this once, before joining the mailing list. I''m attempting to use Backgroundrb to handle asynchronous pdf creation, but in doing so, I''ve run into a very strange problem. Below is a method that''s called from the controller which creates a new worker, then grabs the worker and calls the ''build_pdf''

I use BDRb to process RSS feeds for users on my site (http://feedflix.com). I have a batch job that queries the DB for records that haven''t been updated in the last so many hours and kicks off a background job for each of them. If N records are returned by the DB, N background jobs gets queued and get done serially. As long as N is 255 or under, everything works like a charm.

Hi, I still have the following error while loading backgroundrb : /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20081215/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ packet-0.1.14/lib/packet/packet_master.rb:116:in `exec'': No such file or directory - packet_worker_runner 14:11:maintenance_worker:64:/home/ antz/declix.com/production/lib/workers (Errno::ENOENT) from

Hello, I am unable to get the backgroundrb server to run. Initially I got: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb::MasterProxy (NameError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:453:in

I get this error periodically in backgroundrb.log, but only on my production box (the one running ruby 1.8.5) - my dev box doesn''t get this error. As far as I can tell, everything is working ok, despite the error (I don''t really know how to determine if the jobs are getting threaded successfully, but they are running, that I am sure of). Here''s the dump: no

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

Hi, I am playing around with backgroundrb 1.0.3. I have the following backgroundrb.yml, --- :backgroundrb: :port: 11006 :ip: 0.0.0.0 :schedules: :task_worker: :run: :trigger_args: */10 * * * * * My task worker is just, class TaskWorker < BackgrounDRb:MetaWorker set_worker_name :task_worker def run logger.info "begin" sleep 60 logger.info

Below is the content of my backgroundrb_server_11007.log This seems to happen in a non-repeatable way - so every 2 days or sometimes after 4-5 days, my b/g process dies with this error. Is this something anyone else has seen - any fixes?

Hi, New BackgrounDrb user struggling for a couple of days to get things up an going. System: Ruby 1.8.6 Packet 0.1.5 chronic 0.2.3 BackgrounDrb 1.0.3 (downloaded 4/02/08 and 4/03/08) I installed the packet and chronic gems as per instructions.

Trying to use backgroundrb to process and insert a large list of bulk records, but when I try to use it with the batched_sql_fu plugin installed in vendor/plugins, I get the following error: ---SNIP--- /Users/jdonalds/Sites/3dial_ads/config/../vendor/plugins/ batched_sql_fu/lib/batched_sql_fu/active_record.rb:22:in `alias_insert_sql_to_batched_version!'': undefined method

Hi, I am using the latest checkout from backgroundrb release 1.0.1. I have a worker called status_checker that periodically (every minute) checks the status of certain hosts over the network. It works fine at the beginning but after a while the worker will mysteriously disappear and stop working. I have other workers running but they do not disappear like this worker does. These are

Hi all, I''ve got the error below in my backgroundrb_debug.log. I''ve tried to reproduce the error in the development environment, but the only way I can get the same thing is by calling ask_work with a bogus worker name. Calling it with the production code causes no error. Here''s an example of what the code calls: MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :agronomy_worker,

I''m working on an application that does extensive database searching. These searches can take a long time, so we have been working on moving the searches to a backgroundrb worker task so we can provide a sexy AJAX progress bar, and populate the search results as they are available. All of this seems to work fine until the size of the search results gets sufficiently large, when we start

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone has tried using the Paperclip file upload plugin with Backgroundrb. My current implementation uses attachment_fu - I save the file initially to the file system without generating thumbs, then a bdrb process picks up that file, generates thumbs, and saves to S3. This works fine and dandy, the only hitch is I want to save image metadata in the same table

I''m running a fresh checkout of release 1.0.1 ... It''s now 11:32 am local time on January 31. I''ve configured a single worker for a test.
