Hi, I''m not much of a developer but I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now and with the release of 0.2.1 it looks like I can finally upgrade from the old version (0.2.0 had some weird issues when jobs just wouldn''t run, seems to have cleared up now - Thanks!). Anyhow, while I''m doing this, I would like to tackle this problem. Most tasks I run in

Hi All, Real neophyte here, to both backgroundrb and ruby/rails in general. (Hey, we''ve all got to start somewhere, right!) :) I''ve just been playing around with the example code at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ , and trying to get all the pieces to work (btw, I''m using version 0.2.1). I did a ''generate worker example'', which created an

Hi! As you might remember I''m having a problem of backgroundrb stopping calling my workers after some period of time. I tried adding logging to backgroundrb source code but it didn''t help. So, after digging through internet I''ve found several gdb tools and here''s what I''ve discovered: After attaching to a backgroundrb ruby process it turns out that it

I have a scheduled worker that runs every minute, checking for new eBay auctions to post. If it finds an auction, then it posts it. If there are no auctions in the database that are queued up, it simply does nothing. I got the worker to finally run as a scheduled worker, every minute. However, after about 30-45 scheduled runs, it simply stops running. My backgroundrb_schedules.yml file: ------

if CONFIG[''load_rails''] ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency = true ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(YAML.load(ERB.new(IO.read ("#{RAILS_ROOT}/#{CONFIG[''database_yml'']}")).result)[CONFIG[''environment'']]) end if i read the code right, this option doesnt really load rails. wouldnt it be better (for those who rely on the

Hi, I get the following error from my client program when I try to call delete after my worker is completed: goten at goten-server:~/projects/svn_working/m29svn_back/app$ ruby backup_app.rb {:done=>true, :txt=>["piping to tmp", "piping done", "getting youngest", "youngest got", "destfile

Ok two things that bug me 1) http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/projects/backgroundrb/ticket/48 i thought i''ll just post ticket link - but well - it''s strange 2) when i switch base class from RailsBase to Base i can''t access MiddleMan - i get error NameError: uninitialized constant MiddleMan from (drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrbunix_localhost_2999)

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 am new to this list and relatively new to the backgroundrb plugin,. So first i will say hello to everybody here, especially to Ezra Zygmuntowicz! I played a little bit with a dummy worker and so far everything worked well. But now i want to do real work in a worker but now i get that error[1]. It looks like that the constants configured in environment* configs are not available to the worker

Hi, Thanks for the help getting the new backgroundrb working, things are working fabulously now. I have two questions: 1) I have a few basic methods I need available on all my workers in order to communicate properly with my application... it seems to make the most sense right now to subclass BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker, or make a mixin module, because I''m actually extending some

i found some questions and answers on mailing lists but there is still a problem - when i want to create new worker from within a worker - ::BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :second_worker, :args => {:id=>2, :text=>"slave"}) works but when i want to get reference to that object: ::BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.worker(@second) yields: NoMethodError: undefined

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb to get RSS feeds and pass them back to the controller. I''m using the Ruby RSS library to parse the feed, which returns an RSS object. After that I pass the object into the results hash, but that''s when this error occurs. Basically, this is what I have: rss = RSS::Parser.parse(response.body) results[:feed] = rss # error! 20061120-15:46:19

Hello! I have been using backgroundrb for a small project. My worker task is run every minute, checks the processing queue in data-base and execute the business method from Rails if something is to be done. Unfortunately I was hit by the problem of backgroundrb server dying after some runs. The exception is: 20070531-11:06:05 (31816) Starting worker: s_e_work sql_exe (s_e_work_sql_exe) ()

It''s that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has greatly improved the stability of the new system. And Ara Howard has helped a ton by working with us on the slave library to iron out the wrinkles./ The results is a lot nicer backgroundrb for everyone. I have to say another huge thanks to skaar. He has singlehandedly wrote almost all of this new version and many

I''m running the latest backgroundrb mainly for scheduled tasks support.
