similar to: rendering from within a worker

I''m running the latest backgroundrb mainly for scheduled tasks support. As per the documentation I created the backgroundrb_schedules.yml with the following: simple_label: :class: :document_sorter_worker :worker_method: :do_work :job: :bleh :trigger_args: :start: <%= Time.now + 5.seconds %> :end: <%= Time.now + 10.minutes :repeat_interval: 1.minute Under

I''m using the latest backgroundrb. Do I need to setup a worker in order to use it with Rails? I remember using "Worker::RailsBase" before. Also, how do I access the logger from within the worker? Thanks a lot! -- Lalo

I''m very interested in using backgroundrb for running jobs every n minutes. The release notes say that this functionality is not yet ready via backgroundrb. But I wonder, can I call backgroundrb with a ruby script from cron ? I know I could create a cron job that calls lynx (or whatever) on a specific page that will call backgroundrb, but I want to know if there other

Im trying to send mails from a backgroundrb worker and it seems like ActionView cant find my template. same code works as a rake task. here my worker: class StatusMailWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat 1.minutes # <-- hehe! def do_work(args) [...blah...] NotificationMailer.create_daily_report(users, rep, items) end end end its throwing the following error: No

Hi all, I''m trying to create a worker to send a mail to all the users in my db. Right now I''m doing the tests, this is the code in my worker (Masivo is the ActionMailer subclass): def do_work(args) @progress = 0 @logger.info("MAILER: starting job") records = Record.find(:all) total = records.size records.each_with_index do |record, idx|

Hi! I''m developing an localization plugin (just for my own purposes) and I wanted to extend the to_s method for the Time class. What I want to do: when someone does date.to_s(:short) that a localized version of the :short date is displayed. But I don''t know how to accomplish this. I know have this: class Time def to_s(option) print option.to_yaml

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is the intended behavior. Here is my setup: controller def index respond_to do |f| f.xml { render :xml => true } f.html { render :layout => :none } end end In my views I have a file for each type index.herb index.xerb The first request I send is cached and interferes with the other one. For example, if I send an xml request

hello, with facebooker can I get a list of someone''s facebook friends, only using his facebook id? If yes, then please let me know how... (and don''t read further) If this is not possible, then here is my problem: ------------------------------------------- I have a flash movie embedded in the canvas page of my Facebooker application. The movie gets information from an xml

All, I have a RXML template which renders partial RXML templates within it. A snippet is below. The "xml" variable is the parent template''s Builder variable. It is passed into the partial under the name "parent_xml". Why can''t I use :locals => {.... :xml => xml ....} in my call to render the partial? It seems like if I do use :xml => xml, it

Greetings, I''m a newby to both "R"s in RoR. I would like to use Builder::XmlMarkup to generate my pages. If there is a working downloadable example somewhere, that would probably be enough. Otherwise, here''s what I want to do: With the following controller: class AccountsController < ApplicationController layout ''accounts'' model :account

I''m having a problem in Rails 2 where respond_to is always rendering the RXML view even in the HTML rendering response. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? Here''s a code snippet: respond_to do |accepts| accepts.html accepts.xml { render :action => ''show.rxml'', :layout => false} end If I change this to the following it works fine:

The first problem is that if you make a builder or .rxml file it always displays as xml in a browser. declare! it and the browser gives and error and if you change rxml to rhtml then it thinks you should be making erb. SO quetion #1 is how do I make builder files render in the browser as html. The next thing that I want to be able to do is be able to render parcials or call other files of other

RJS templates are the only template type that are exempt from layout by default. Don''t you think it makes sense to add rxml to the list of exempt extensions? I''d assume most people would be surprised to see their XML embedded in the middle of their (most probably) rhtml layout. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/base.rb:

In my app, I store the job key when a worker is fired off and then check back in periodically to see how its doing. The workers delete themselves when they''re done. I would expect when I try to get a worker that has been deleted, I would get nil or a proper exception, but instead I get: >> MiddleMan.worker(''foobar'') NoMethodError: undefined method

Hi, a Javascript in one of my Rails templates needs to load a static XML file. I tried several places to put the actual XML file, and I also tried to make the file a rails template (tried both .rhtml and .rxml) and access it via a controller action. None of these ways worked. Does the lighttpd server know how to serve XML files, or do I need to configure it first? Or, is there a good workaround?

We ran into some problems accessing a freshly created worker, and had to insert a sleep of 1 second to get it to work. It looks like Ezra and skaar already know this: from middleman.rb: # HACK: there is a race in the worker/slave creation, we # currently need to sleep between create. sleep 0.1 You might want to increase it to 1 second for those of us on slowly mac books.

I''m having an odd problem. I''m trying to create an RSS feed (working off the Recipe), but "xml.link" generates error about "Can''t convert Hash to String". From the error trace, it *looks* like it''s calling the a fileutil ''link'' method (as in, filesystem symbolic link) - even xml.tag! generates this error. Er, how do I make

I am new to this list and relatively new to the backgroundrb plugin,. So first i will say hello to everybody here, especially to Ezra Zygmuntowicz! I played a little bit with a dummy worker and so far everything worked well. But now i want to do real work in a worker but now i get that error[1]. It looks like that the constants configured in environment* configs are not available to the worker

Hi, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

When I call ask_status on a worker that has not been started I get and exception of type BackgrounDRb::BdrbConnError, which is fine. I can deal with that, but I also find that the backgroundrb process dies as well. The scenario is simple: Call ask_status on a worker that is not auto loaded. I used a job_key, in case that makes a difference. -------------- next part -------------- An
