Hello, I''m trying to send emails from a backgroundrb worker and the email doesn''t send. I get no log messages in the sendmail log or the system log, nothing in the backgroundrb logs at all, nothing in the production log. Below is my code for each component worker: class QuizReviewerWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :quiz_review_sender def create(args =

hi, i am using drb and it is working fine on my local pc on windows.. and after uploading the code to the server it was working for sometime but now it gives me error every time i invoke the process.. error--- uninitialized constant EmailWorker::Notifier - (NameError) /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:477:in `const_missing''

In response to my Rails Weenie post today[1], someone mentioned that I try BackgrounDRb to help take the strain off my application. 1: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/7/13/nested-loops- best-way-to-send-messages-to-blog-subscribers I''ve just tried to install and use BackgrounDRb with my app, but I''m afraid that I''m not too versed in running processes

What does the method query_all_workers() do? There is no documentation on what this method returns (1.0.1 version). Orion -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/attachments/20080118/9f9b8112/attachment.html

Hi, i''m going to implement a syndication-service, which will get lists in xml with some meta-data an enclosed video files, which will get encoded at the end. The syndication run will be startet every five minutes of a full hour. So i thought to build 4 Worker. One for checking which feeds to syndicate (syndication_worker) at a specific time, one for processing the list

I need to run the same worker''s method twice per day with different arguments. Unfortunately, only the second entry in the schedule is firing. I created an experimental worker to verify this: Worker: class ExperimentWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :experiment_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time

Hi All, When I add the line ''reload_on_schedule true'' to my worker, my tests will no longer run with the following exception: Starting ferret DRb server.../Users/revelation/projects/revelation-project/config/../lib/workers/alert_worker.rb:3: undefined method `reload_on_schedule'' for AlertWorker:Class (NoMethodError) class AlertWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker

I have a worker as follows: class SampleWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :sample_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time end def my_method # Deliver test e-mail message Notifications.deliver_message(1, "DM") end end I have a rails controller that calls the following code: worker =

I''m working on upgrading my app to the latest version of backgroundrb. Everything went find until I tried to execute my tasks. Here is my simple worker for testing: class MscWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :msc_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time end # Send a message to everyone def

Hi, I have a page were users can start jobs that may take several hours to run. BackgrounDrb is perfect for me and seems to be working well most of the time but some times I have the following problem: My worker is set up like this: class UploadWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :upload_worker set_no_auto_load(true) def create(args = nil ) file = args[:file]

I''m trying to run a single worker that could perform a periodic task for a given user. >From a controller, I imagine something like: def start_job MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :foo_worker, :worker_method => :perform_task, :data => { :user_id = current_user.id }) end def check_job @status = MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :foo_worker)[current_user.id] end

Hi, A pre-release version of backgroundrb is available now from svn. Download it from here: http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/branches/version099/ Since this release marks significant migration from existing practices, i intend to keep trunk untouched for a while. There are no install scripts, but you should copy "backgroundrb" file from script directory of plugin to script

I''ve scheduled cron jobs etc before, but I''m curious as to how to layout a worker properly. Here''s a basic example of what one of my workers looks like: class FooWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :foo_worker def create(args = nil) logger.info("Starting test: #{Time.now.strftime("%T")}") run_test logger.info("Finished test:

Newbie question but here goes: Isn''t rake supposed to automatically search the lib/tasks subdirectory for Rake files/tasks? I have a task called "do_this.rake" in file foo.rake in lib/tasks/rails - how do I invoke it from the command line in the root directory of my Rails application? Presuming I have a file called "Rakefile" in the root directory of my Rails

I have a previous question regarding long tasks and the thread_pool (sorry for the dup, I didn''t see the first go through). To try and track things down, I made a change based on a suggestion found in the archives. I moved my import contacts worker to its own file and set the pool_size to 1. class ImportContactsWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name

Hi all, i was using bdrb a while ago and it wasn''t stable enough in version 0.2.1 for doing the job - it loss jobs or did execute only the first one invoked and so on. Now i gave the new version a try and i found a bug at playing around. When i start a worker_method over the normal Unix scheduler bdrb will start as much as possible the worker_method after the :end-time is reached.

Hello ! 1) I have this error logged by bdrb: undefined method `send_request'' for nil:NilClass framework/packet_master.rb:58:in `ask_worker'' backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:59:in `process_work'' backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:16:in `receive_data'' backgroundrb/framework/bin_parser.rb:29:in `call'' backgroundrb/framework/bin_parser.rb:29:in

Hi, I have a relatively simple Worker: (I added the line numbers to the email, they are not in the worker) ##################################################################################### class ImagetestWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :imagetest_worker def create(args = nil) end def save_image(args) @newbook = Book.new @newbook.comment =

Hi there, Amazing changes! I really like what you''ve done with BackgrounDRb and I hope you continue developing it, since it was definitely somewhat languishing before. One small error stuck out for me, though. The create method requires an argument even if one isn''t used, such that if you have: def create @results = Hash.new end The server throws an error about trying to

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
