I''ve been playing around with Vlad the deployer, and quite like it. However, has anyone used it to stop/start background rb processes via the ./script/backgroundrb script?

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

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

Hi all, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails in a Rails app that doesn''t have a database. so far I have just been faking it out by dumping in a sqlite3 database just to make Rails happy. I was using for test::unit a rake task that eliminated the calls to database prep: # Added this .rake file to keep Rake happy without a database. # Remove once a database is in the picture.

Hi, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'' for main:Object

I have a BackgrounDRb worker running every 2 minutes. Here''s the basic idea: - events = Event.find_all_pending( 2.minutes ) - while( all events have yet to be processed ) ---- if( Time.now <= event.time_to_process ) ------- fork { process_event } --- end --- sleep( 0.25 ) - end - puts "Done..." Events that need to be processed within the next 2 minutes are loaded and

After upgrading to backgroundrb 0.2.x, Rails barfs lstat errors left and right when using the console or webrick or mongrel on win32. We run our site on a Linux server, so I''m not trying to get backgroundrb to work on a win32 machine. I just want to quietly stop loading itself if it detects that it''s on a win32 machine so that the rest of Rails can continue to load. Most of

I''m getting the following error (when doing script/backgroundrb start) on my local machine, which is running os x 10.4.11. However, it works just fine on my linux server. RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/lib/../framework/nbio.rb:64:in `dump_object'': undefined method `write_nonblock'' for #<UNIXSocket: 0x135b5f4> (NoMethodError) I just grabbed the

Hi, Im just wondering what strategy I should use for checking out from your repo. I''ve seen posts here announcing BackrounDRb 1.0 RC 2, 1.0 but I don''t see any tags in the repo for these releases - I only see two old tags (release-0.2.0 & release-0.2.1). I''m assuming the HEAD code might be a bit unstable at times so should I use timestamps for checking

Hello Folks- I am really happy to announce the release of BackgrounDRb 0.2.0 . This is a complete rewrite and re-architecture of this codebase. I want to thank skaar for all of his hard work. I put out a call for help with the new architecture and skaar stepped up bigtime. I had already written the new scheduler and cron compatible syntax and moved to multi process architecture. But he

Hi Folks, BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks. Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced from http request/response cycle. This new release of BackgrounDRb is also modular and can be used

Sorry for attaching patches in emails to the mailing list, but I''m still unable to login to Devjavu for Backgroundrb (I''m able to login just fine for Merb''s Devjavu and submitted a ticket successfully). Anyway, I encountered a bug when trying to #ask_status of a worker before it''s run (or rather, before its result_hash has been set to something). Not sure why

Hello, I''ve been trying to get the latest copy of BackgrounDRB as per the documentation here http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/. However, whenever I try to access http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1 I keep an authentication prompt and if I leave it blank I am declined access. Is there somewhere else to get the code or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, -carl --

Hi everyone, I''m new to backgroundrb, and I''m trying to get started with a simple example, yet with no success. This is the code that I have in RAILS_ROOT/lib/workers/testing_worker.rb class TestingWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args) # This method is called in it''s own new thread when you # call new worker. args is set

Hi Folks, I am glad to announce 1.0 release of BackgrounDRb. This would be a major release since 0.2 release of BackgrounDRb. Here is a brief summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is DRb no longer. It makes use of EventDriven network programming library packet ( http://packet.googlecode.com ). - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally

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 Ezra/skaar, Wow man, the exercise was worth it. The connection closed problem with socket as i mentioned in my earlier mails...completely disappeared, and now i can connect only once to the socket and keep reading..till end of its days. Literally impossible with older release of backgroundrb. This could also potentially solve the issues people were having with ActiveRecord. As i said

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

The new backgroundrb seemed to me to be markedly slower than the old one. So, I ran a "side-by-side" comparison test using a worker that I had written which parses a CSV file and loads the results into a database. The results? The latest version appears to take twice as long to run the same code as the previous version. Has anyone else experienced speed issues with the new

Hi, just updated backgroundrb to release 1.0.1 and am getting this error when trying to start backgroundrb. vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/framework/core.rb:18: uninitialized constant Packet::ClassHelpers (NameError) Just updated from r298 where everything was working fine. If I comment out the offending line then backgroundrb starts but I can''t connect to it from my app. Anyone have any
