Hi, I''m having a problem where connections started through BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote backgroundrbs I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason

Greetings all, Unit tests are passing, but I''m having mucho problems getting brb to run without exceptions for more than 6 hours. I''m seeing a mixture of the following 2 exceptions: 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) failed to find slave socket - (RuntimeError) 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ slave-1.2.1/lib/slave.rb:435:in `initialize''

Hello, I am trying to make DRb calls to a external server from a backgrounDRb worker, but I''m getting always the next exception when I make the remote call. > ERROR: > drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.11175/experimenter_worker_3e899de945f0803a82cd257cfac316d0_0_0.0738904928422051 > - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - >

I''m using backgroundrb to periodically download a large file via ftp from a remote location and then import it into the database. To perform the import, I was using the following: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(%{load data infile ...;}) although on a file with 2.5 million records, this can take 5 minutes, which seems to tie up my rails application while this executes (even

I figured out that in the backgroundrb.yml, I had the old setting of making the database RAILS_ENV. It wasn''t a valid variable in backgroundrb 0.2.1, and it wasn''t reporting an error, so I had no idea. Once I changed it to ''development'' or ''production'', it started working. I found that if a worker has an error, it usually logs the error

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 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

In my app, I store the job key when a worker is fired off and then check back in periodically to see how its doing. The workers delete themselves when they''re done. I would expect when I try to get a worker that has been deleted, I would get nil or a proper exception, but instead I get: >> MiddleMan.worker(''foobar'') NoMethodError: undefined method

If I add .instance in front of new_worker I get the following error ... but for some reason i cant call new_worker directly...? error: ruby sample_app.rb my sample app :) ./backgroundrb/middleman.rb:440:in `ex'': undefined method `synchronize'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from ./backgroundrb/middleman.rb:401:in `[]'' from

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

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: ------

I am following the rails tutorial: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/filling-in-the-layout#top Basically the test is something like: spec/requests/layout_links_spec.rb require ''spec_helper'' describe "LayoutLinks" do it "should have a Home page at ''/''" do get ''/'' response.should

Newbie learning Rails. I''m currently on Chp9 here: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-in-sign-out#top At the end of the tutorial, rails is erroring (see below). being new to Rails and after having checked the tutorial... How do you resolve this kind of error. It''s saying current_user is not defined, and it is supposed to be defined with/Sites/sample_app/app/helpers/

I tried the upload feature in merb 0.0.7 using http://localhost:4000/files I get the following: Permission denied - D:/Temp/Merb.5172.0 or E:/Dev/Ruby/merb-0.0.7/examples/sample_app/dist/public/files/foobar.jpg - (Errno::EACCES) C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:501:in `rename'' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:501:in `mv'' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1379:in

I am having issues when using unicorn with a Capistrano deployment. >From what I have been able to understand Capistrano uses a scheme in wich every release is deployed inside the releases directory under a unique name and if the transaction was successful, creates a symlink named current that will point to that release. So I end up with a deployment directory such as:

I just returned from a different project after taking a few weeks off of my tutorial. I''m using Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial - Learn Rails by Example by Michael Hartl. After rebooting my server I ran an rspec spec/ command to check to see if there were any problems and this is what I received. I didn''t modify anything except I did overwrite users_controller.rb and

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

When I try to push my application to ''GitHub'' using ''Git'', I get the following: $ git push origin master Enter passphrase for key ''/c/Users/Medicine - SWEng/.ssh/id_rsa'': ERROR: Repository not found. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly **EDIT:** Output of running `git remote -v`: $ git remote -v heroku

Howdy, I just gem unpacked merb and have configured the sample_app to use an sqlite3 database. I see that the Rakefile has a task named "schema", but it points to /dist/schema/schema1.rb", which doesn''t exist. I copied /dist/schema/schema1.rb to /dist/schema/schema.rb then ran "rake schema". What''s the recommended way to create the database tables?

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
