Hello all, I''m having some trouble getting backgroundrb set up so that all the processing happens on a single machine. I have 3 load balanced machines. Right now, all three run our web application and create MiddleMan workers to generate a large PDF report.

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.

Hello all, I''m using BackgroundRb 0.2.0 (standalone) and in the do_work method of my worker, I''m working with objects from my Rails application. So in my config/backgroundrb.yml file, I added this line: :load_rails: true I think my worker isn''t doing what I want him to do. So I opened the console and read these error lines: # ruby script/backgroundrb console

Hey Folks- I have just pushed a new release of BackgrounDRb to rubyforge. It has some nice new features to allow for usage of your ActiveRecord Models within your worker classes. I also added a config file for setting hosts and ports and if you want to load rails or not. Please have a look and let me know if anyone runs into any issues. If you already have an older version installed

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

I have a job that I am starting from a Rails controller in production mode using MiddleMan: MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :import_ccg_category_worker, :args => { :category_id => @category.id, :remote_category_id => params[:remote_category_id], :description => "Importing CCG products for #{@ category.name}" }) Both of the category ID variables are just basic integers.

I have a simple worker that I set up with repeat_every: class DueNoteQueuerWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat_every 1.minutes first_run Time.now def do_work(args) @logger.debug("Sending due notes. The current time is #{Time.now}") end end I want this to run every minute, all the time. The first run is fine, but it seems that subsequent runs get executed

Hey there, I''m kinda new to BackgrounDRb but I''m facing a big problem which I can''t seem to wrap my head around. The short version of it is : code that works when tested inside RoR''s console doesn''t work when executed by a BackgrounDRb worker. So I''ve tried a lot of things, including checking that the "load_rails" was true in the

Hi all, I''m a newbie to backgroundrb and am having trouble integrating it into my rails-app. I''m using namespaces to differentiate between the parts of my app. When I want to create a new worker, it seems that it cannot find the worker object.

Hi *, are there some special settings except of "load_rails: true" to make ActiveRecord models accessible within my workers? I''ve just installed the latest version of this great plugin, but I keep getting undefined method [] for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x12345> (line 105 in backgroundrb.rb) when one of the arguments for the worker is an ActiveRecord object. I assume that

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: ------

Folks- After enough people running into problems because load_rails was misleading and actually only loaded your models and ActiveRecord, I have just pushed a small update> All that has changed is that in the config file load_rails is set to true by default and it actually loads all of rails by require''ing environment.rb. SO anything that works in your rails app should be
