similar to: no method error when starting backgroundrb

Hi, I get this error when starting bgdrb using "rake backgroundrb:start" (on a Mac using bgdrb 0.2.0): /Users/gl/Projects/xxxxx/xxxxx/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/ backgroundrb_server.rb:33:in `format_message'': undefined method `strftime'' for "2006-11-22T12:34:18.524572 ":String (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/logger.rb:320:in

I''ve been having a terrible time with the backgroundrb scheduler. The issues I''m having is that the scheduled actions aren''t ran at all and if they do, the process stays around forever. I''m using the backgroundrb as a nightly cron to run some accounting operations. questions: 1. How can I have the process destroyed after the worker completes? 2. Any idea on

Everything works fine on my development box (Ubuntu 7.10, Ruby 1.8.6) but on my server (Fedora Core 6, Ruby 1.8.5) when I run script/backgroundrb start, the process fails to start. This is with Rails 2.0.2 frozen in the app, and I have the most recent version of the plugin (r297). Is Ruby 1.8.6 a requirement for backgroundrb now? I can''t figure any other reason it would fail...

I installed backgroundrb v0.2.1 via svn external per the README. But when I go to start ''er up I get: $ ./script/backgroundrb start /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- daemons (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

I''m struggling to keep backgroundrb v2 running for more than 24 hours. It appears to be running fine for a while, then tries to fire off a worker (exactly the same worker it''s been running for the past few hours), and it suddenly dies. I haven''t found any pattern for the cause of this. In backgroundrb_server.log, the final entry is this : 20070206-10:41:45

Hi. I''m trying to use logger from a rails cron job. It works fine, but I''d like the standard ruby behavior of stamping each log with date and time. How do I do this? I''m trying: # Set up out logging require ''logger'' logger = Logger.new(STDERR) logger.level = Logger::INFO RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER = logger # Tell rails to log to our logger also The

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

Hi there I''m using the latest release (r300) and ''script/backgroundrb start'' works perfectly when executed on the server, but when put inside a Rake task, it doesn''t launch the worker processes. The Rake task is as follows: task :start_backgroundrb do run "cd #{current_path} && ./script/backgroundrb start" end When I run this task, the

Hi Folks, I want to set up backgroundrb on my laptop to do some tests.

Hi I can''t get backgroundrb working. I get the following error in backgroundrb_server.log: backgroundrb/framework/core.rb:117:in `bind'': Address family not supported by protocol family - bind(2) (Errno::EAFNOSUPPORT) Seems to be a problem with my Mac (Leopard) and my ruby install (1.8.6 that came with the OS) according to some emails I found with google.

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

Hello all, After upgrading to Rails 1.2.2, I''m getting a strange error when one of my workers is invoked. The worker is responsible for monitoring a folder (using directory_watcher) and emailing a specific user when a file is dropped there, but it''s bombing immediately upon instantiation (or maybe when trying to instantiate ActionMailer?) with the error "Text is not a

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

Hi all I''m experiencing something strange with a :job_key, it took me a very long time to find out a worker wasn''t doing it''s job because of the name of my job_key. The first one I tried was :make_kohier, and with that name (and lot''s of other ones) I can''t get the worker to work. I do get my key in return, but the job doesn''t start

Hey all, I''m having some issues moving a project that incorporates Backgroundrb onto a staging server... For some reason (surely of my own doing), my RailsBase workers are insisting on using trying to access my development DB instead of my "production" DB. When I try to load a model object from within a worker, I get the following: 20061120-21:54:28 (26296)

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: ------
