similar to: calling a MiddleMan from inside a MiddleMan

I believe that I have followed these directions exactly: http:// rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/install.html My new spec tests work, but my old Test::Unit test don''t produce any output. The only clue I have anything is happening at all are these messages in log/test.log: Spec::Rails::HelperEvalContextController: missing default helper path

Hi all, I got some help from James Edward Gray II on the RSpec TextMate bundle. For those of you who don''t know James, he runs the Ruby Quiz and also maintains the official TM bundle. Per a couple of patches from him and some advice that I acted on, many of the shortcuts have changed. The bad news is you''ll have to learn new shortcuts. The good news is that the new shortcuts

When trying to configure a rspec 1.1.2 based app in CC.rb, I came across the following: /home/bryan/cruisecontrolrb-1.2.1/projects/support-engines/work/vendor/ plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/../../../../rspec/lib/spec/ runner/options.rb:218:in `files_to_load'': File or directory not found: cc:build (RuntimeError) from

Does the rspec rails plugin support controllers in subdirectories under app/controller?

Hello! I have a lot of contexts for testing Rails controllers, that must do something like ''session[:logged_in] = true'' in their setup. How can this be refactored? In unit tests I would simply create a LoggedInControllerTest base class, that all my functional tests would derive from. And another small question: In my controller specifications I often have to decide whether to

Can a worker kill themselves when they''re ''done''? Or do I have to do that either from the controller or the worker manager?

Hi, all! I have a story steps array.rb and the story array.story. I can run it with ruby array.rb But when I execute spec array.rb nothing happened. I''m wondering how can I use spec command to execute stories? (executing examples is OK) Or maybe another question. If I have to run stories with `ruby'' command, how can I choose the output format? (I think there''s

Hi, We are hitting a deadlock on libvirt on 0.9.4 version.

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

Is there something special I need to do to access session data in a worker? I''m using an AR session store. I''ve been working with Ezra''s tutorial, modifying it a little here and there to figure it out. So I changed the progress bar to a simple count-down in the worker which sends back the count to display in the view. No big deal. But if I try to access session

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

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''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,

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''

If this was in the docs, I''ve missed it. How can I have multiple mongrel clusters on a server? All the documentation that I am seeing seems to assume that I am only running one cluster.

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 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 rails + oci8 + mac os x intel a winning combination? It appears that oci8 might be a issue.

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.
