similar to: MiddleMan behavior

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, I''m using backgroundrb but I have 2 problems with it. First is when I launch a thread Toto from the do_work method. Toto can''t access to a class variable defined before... (undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass) I suspect that thread is launched when backgroundrb start but the worker not .. My code is : class MonWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase

for some strange reason this error occours when i create one worker from another BUT only when i derive worker class from Worker::Base instead or Worker::RailsBase - when change it back it works fine, child worker can have empty do_work, but this error still ocours Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF) /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/slave-1.2.0/lib/slave.rb:214:in `for_fd''

With the 0.2.0 code, unit testing of workers isn''t working out of the box. I created a bare rails project (dubbed "ninja") and generated one worker "FirstWorker" and did rake test rake test (in /home/joshua/tmp/20061030-bdbtest/ninja) /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -Ilib:test "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb"

Is it possible to call a worker from inside a worker? Right now, if I try, I get a recycled object error.

I''m trying to test with RSpec (0.7.5), and I have the following code: MiddleMan.should_receive(:new_worker) Every time I run this code, I get this error: undefined method `new_worker'' for class `DRb::DRbObject'' How do I get around this?

Hi all, I found this thread in the August backgroundrb-devel archives. >This means that in order to reference the new_worker method *in the >instance that is running in the drb server* you can''t do that >directly. In order to spawn other workers from within a worker I >would have to change the MiddleMan class to be a singleton. This way >you could grab the one instance of

I just updated backgroundrb to the latest version, and now I get this: uninitialized constant MiddleMan /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:131:in `const_missing''

I''ve been checking out all the async gems and plugins for Rails, and decided to give BackgroundRb a shot. Unfortunately, I''ve not even been able to get past the initial stages. Whenever I call MiddleMan.new_worker, it invariably returns nil. The log file remains empty. I''ve only tried this from the console so far. If I can''t even do this successfully,

Hi there, I''m just implementing backgroundrb to see if I can offload some "processor intensive" areas of my rails app (generating PDFs with lots of imagery in them, using rFPDF and rMagick as well). So far I''ve been able to figure it out fairly quickly....it''s a pretty cool tool! Some questions though: First: I''m running the basic cron-job

Is it possible to act as a middle man on a T1 line? My installation currently has an aging Inter-Tel Axxess box with a T1 coming in (16 in, 8 out). Rather than adding and replacing phones and cards as they die, I would like to slowly migrate to a asterisk SIP installation. I want to take the incoming T1 line, use any available outgoing lines for outgoing SIP, intercept any incoming lines and

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.

In short: how (if possible) would i go about arranging it so that i can instantiate a middleman and set a worker going from within a method in one of my models? or is this a weird thing to be wanting to do? ( My specific situation: I have an ''Image'' model in my application. An actual image file associated with the model is being stored on amazons s3 system.

Hello - I am observing that calls to MiddleMan.worker return only after the worker has completed its work. This puzzles me, and I presume that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone make suggestions? Snippets from my code are: class ReportController < SecurityController ... def create_xml_report(report,start_time) constraints = get_constraints(report,start_time,false)

Anyone have idea, what''s the best way to run one workers from another, and call functions betwen them ?
