I''d like to play around a bit with ActiveResource for consuming a web service. Does anyone have sample code they would be willing to share? I''ve googled all around and have come up empty except for simple (non- working) examples given in the RailsConf keynote and some associated blog entries. Thanks! cr --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received

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''

Yay, another Task model: ## the model class Task < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :lots, :of, :stuff, :but, :not, :finished_at, :and, :finished before_save do @before_save.call if @before_save end def finish self.finished = true @before_save = proc { self.finished_at = Time.now } end end ## usage t = Task.find(some_id) t.finish t.save (same code on pastie:

I''m a big "fan" of BackgroundRB ... 1.0 came along just when my project needed it, and I''ve been very happy. Thanks much for this very helpful piece of software. My question: I have a worker scheduled cron-style as follows: :notification_worker: :notify: :trigger_args: 0 0 8 * * 1,3,5 * I.e., I want to run this particular worker method at 8:00a

I''m currently taking a Rails project management app I built when learning Rails and adding specs to it. During the course of building the app the requirement that project should be archiveable was added. So a project is in one of two states active or archived. This led to the creation of the following methods: Project.active_projects Project.archived_projects @project.active?

I''ve been checking out all the async gems and plugins for Rails, and decided to give BackgroundRb a shot. Unfortunately, I''ve not even been able to get past the initial stages. Whenever I call MiddleMan.new_worker, it invariably returns nil. The log file remains empty. I''ve only tried this from the console so far. If I can''t even do this successfully,

I''m trying to figure out how to clear the for a worker from my controller. In my aysnc_xxx process I set cache[key]. However, I don''t see an easy way to clear the cache from a controller with invoking something on the worker. What I was looking for was something like MiddleMan(:worker_name, :worker_key_name).cache[key]= Is there something like that and I''m just

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.

Hi everyone, Newbie here. I''m trying to get a textual form element to submit in the context of a form_remote_tag block and having little success. Oddly (or perhaps not), using regular old form_tag in its place does cause the elements to be submitted. Here''s the relevant partial ERb code: <%= form_remote_tag( { :url => { :action => :out, :id => pending_task } } )

Hi, when I use mod_rails/passenger with apache2 on linux instead of webbrick for our application, then it stops working with certain browsers like the ie, and konqueror but still works with firefox. I get the following error message: ActionView::TemplateError (PGError: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xad HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does

MySQL since version 4.1 can use utf-8 for multilangual tables, and it uses almost the same approach like PosgreSQL where Active Record API writes: ":encoding — An optional client encoding that is using in a SET client_encoding TO <encoding> call on connection." However ActiveRecord API does not mention how to set up optional client encoding for MySQL 4.1...

I have a table showing some records from the database. These records should be always ordered by some datetime field. The list of items is changed by AJAX using RJS scripts and edits are done by showing and hiding an update form under a chosen row. Adding and updating rows works great but my problem is when the order of items is changed after making some AJAX datetime updates update forms of

Hi, I am using backgroundrb to process audio files from a rails controller. Currently a new worker gets created every time the method is called on the worker, using this code: @job_key = MiddleMan.new_worker(:worker => :audio_file_worker, :job_key => Time.now.to_i) MiddleMan.worker(:audio_file_worker, @job_key).make_new_audio_file(params[:release_id]) I need to create the new

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb 0.2.1 in a production environment and for most parts I''m very happy. We are using it to do some heavy video editing on the server side and it works great except that under, what seems heavy load the below problem happens intermittently. The problem has only happened 5 times out of over 500 runs by our backgroundrb worker. This is the code in our
