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

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

Hello, i need to have some jobs scheduled in the background and executed at specific times. I wanted to make a worker who does that - and it works a little bit - but i had an enlightment... why not make bgdrb itself play that role? i mean, the MiddleMan has already everything needed! a timer thread, currently used only for deleting old workers and the workers itself. since im not familiar with

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|

Hello there! I made a little patch for scripts/backgroundrb/start to make detach work on win32! It needs win32-process to work (it''s a lib from the Win32 Utils project on rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/). To install it, just issue a "gem install win32-process --include-dependencies". If the script detects the :detach option (and a win32 platform), it tries

Hi, i had a little problem a few minutes ago. somehow the backgroundrb process got mad and consumed all the cpu power available, i think it got an endless loop. i dont know why, no exceptions were thrown. could this be an issue of bgdrb or ruby or rails (as i load the rails environment) -- Michael Siebert <info at siebert-wd.de> www.stellar-legends.de - Weltraum-Browsergame im

Hello there, I need a Worker Class to be Singleton-like, that means there must be at maximum one Instance at a time. When a new Request is made to create another worker of this type, it should return and wait for the other instance to be destroyed. what i need to do: i have a worker who needs to do sth with java and openoffice, and it seems when i have more tha one worker simultaneously,

I have a question concerning where to use the synchronize function. The point of it is to put all of the code blacks passed to this function in a queue. This make sure that code gets ran one at a time. This is required when doing any kind of database activity in backgrondrb and multiple threads. Otherwise I lose the connection to my database. So here is my question: Do I need to do: @lock =

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

Hello, i need to require a file located in /lib from a worker class, but when i try to start the backgroundrb server, i get something like d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- ./lib/office_thumnail_generator.rb (MissingSourceFile) i tried it with and without lib, with RAILS_ROOT, nothing worked, altough the paths look good

Hi there, as i stated before in my talk with Ben Johnson, I hacked a little bit and here it is - autostarting jobs. I think someone (eh... Ezra) should review it and check to see if i made any mistakes. Also i dont have the possibility to test it on other-than-Windows systems, but since the calling process works just the same, it should do well... Now the neccesary evil, the documentation... If

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few

Hi to all. I''m a newbye, and this is my first contact with list. I have installed ruby and rails. My ruby local home page works, but development.log tell me "Permission denied - /var/www/html/rubyapp/../config/../tmp/sessions//ruby_sess.e2677250ed380e4c " what''s happen? I think permission rights are ok (simlink towards public are root|root with 777). Someone can help

Ezra, Sorry for inundating the list. In using the autostart, repeat_every, and first_run, I noticed a behaviour I didn''t expect. I would like the job to run starting at 2am, and then every 24 hours. So I set first_run to Time.now.beginning_of_day + 2.hours, and repeat_every to 24.hours. The problem is if backgroundrb starts up at 6am (due to a code change or server bump), then the

I''ve used Railscron in a couple instances, and I liked that fact that it has a rake task for checking the status of the process. Many times I use it in the admin interface to allow me to double check that everything is up and running. I couldn''t find one for backgroundrb, so here is a simple one. Probably obvious to everyone, and no doubt there is a better way to do it:

I''m trying to run some non-ruby code in my rails app and i''m not sure how to do this. The code i have would take a really long time to port to ruby and so i''d rather run it as is (its php). What i would like to have happen is that the code can be invoked as an ajax call. And just return some data in JSON. I keep running into a routing failure by actioncontroller and
