I thought I could delete a busy worker by calling MiddleMan.delete_worker, but doesn''t seem to end. I believe this was possible in 0.2, is it not in 1.0? thanks, Zach -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, First off, nice improvements hemant! Thanks for all the hard work. I just whipped up a new worker for a scheduled job that sends digest emails. Very smooth. However, moving some of my old backgroundrb into new backgroundrb isn''t going quite as smoothly. I have a import worker that takes a number of parameters and then is started dynamically. Here''s the a

I''m using a plugin which adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base http://similetimelinerailshelper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simile_timeline/ This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in ''regular

Hi there, We run several (3-4) Rails servers behind the reverse proxy / load balancing web server serving the single application. All Rails instances share the same database and use the database as a session storage. Memcached is also part of the picture. I''m looking into using Backgroundrb for some large uploads / parsing task that provide progress status updates (via ajax calls).

Looks like my first question a couple of days ago wasn?t very clever asked, at least very sucessfull.... So, anyway...i will try it again: I have to prefix that I am far away from fully understanding the overall concept yet, and there?s no way to get some hints in the www so far, at least my resaerches dont lead to any helpfull stuff. image_controller.rb: def create MiddleMan.new_worker

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

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

I use BDRb to process RSS feeds for users on my site (http://feedflix.com). I have a batch job that queries the DB for records that haven''t been updated in the last so many hours and kicks off a background job for each of them. If N records are returned by the DB, N background jobs gets queued and get done serially. As long as N is 255 or under, everything works like a charm.

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, we are trying to use BDRB for background processing of long-running reports, and have two issues - one is that worker does not see our Report class from Rails, throws a: /var/apps/ror_trunk/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:22:in `load'': undefined class/module Report (ArgumentError) from

Hello all, I get this intermittent error saying OpenURI::HTTPError. At the bottom of the email is what is reported in my backgroundrb_server_<port>.log file. The process_netflix_reviews method is parsing (in the background) Netflix''s RSS feeds. This error also pretty much brings down the BDRb process and to recover, I am forced to do a ./script/backgroundrb stop

Hi Folks, We are glad to announce shiny new release of BackgrounDRb, which will soon become 1.0. A quick summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is no londer DRb, its based on event driven network programming library packet ( http://www.packet.googlecode.com ) . - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally gone. Lots of work has went in making

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.

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

Hi, I have backgroundrb running to decouple the execution of massive business logic from an ActionWebservice request. The service is designed to take some configuration parameters and fire a lot of background workers to do the requested work. Due to performance reasons I want to limit the number of workers to a maximum number of 30. But when I start a configuration that requires for example

I''m just getting started wtih backgroundrb, and unfortunately hit a snag right away... I''m running the latest releases of rails, backgroundrb, slave and daemons. I created a simple worker class, using the generator, which currently does nothing but print the arguments that are passed to do_work. I''m running backgroundrb using ''./script/backgroundrb

Hey. I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong. Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action, suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost: DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222 Pid: 3976 Autostart... done druby://localhost:42531 - #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor -

I have a big report to produce from a Rails app that takes several minutes to put together. I hoped backgroundrb would be able to pull together all the ActiveRecord stuff in the background then throw it back to Rails for rendering. It seems, however, that I can''t pass an array of ActiveRecord objects from the worker back to Rails. Do I have that right? Another possibility was to do

I''m looking at writing a Mongrel handler that mimics the behavior of the Apache mod_put [1]. It allows for the streaming upload of very large (GB) files; it also supports resumable upload. Before I get too involved, I''d like to ask if my reading of the mongrel source code is correct, i.e. what I want to do isn''t currently possible. Looking at the class
