Hi, Not sure if this was posted before.... Is there a way to tell the backgroundrb server to reload workers a la rails in dev mode ? It seems that I have to cycle the server everytime I change my workers... Also has anyone cooked up a script for monitoring the background drb process on a nix OS ? ie rc init for server startup and making sure the process is happy

Hi It seems the following code do not transfer multiple arguments to the worker instance: controller: ======= # recipients = Hash # mailing = Mailing model instance session[:job_key] = MiddleMan.new_worker( :class => :mail_queue_worker, :args => { :recipients => recipients, :mailing => mailing },

Hi, I am running ruby 1.8.4 rails 1.1 on Mac OSx and I am getting the following error installing the plugin. Any ideas ? ( BTW This is a brand new rails app ) Thanks !! ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/backgroundrb --force subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:630: (apr_err=155007) svn: ''/Users/fgaliana/work/samples/fred/vendor/plugins'' is not a working copy

All, So I got passed my initial hurdles with merb 0.4. And all seems to work very nicely. Thank you all for your help ! One thing though, why should I have to bounce the merb server when I change my controller or associated classes ? Am I missing something ? I am having flash back to my java days where I now have to reflect on what changed and bounce the server accordingly...

Hi, All I have an encountered an issue where the args field is not saved correctly to the database. I encounter an error like this: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (RuntimeError: ERROR C22021 M invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xcb3a H This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by

All, I see this item on the merb-0.0.8 release notes Added rails session parasite mode. I am assuming merbs can piggy back off the rails current session. How does one achieve that ?

Ezra, Suppose a chatroom application, a RailsApp + 2 backgroundrbs: MiddleMan1& MiddleMan2, running in 2 machines. When Chater1 login, RailsApp call MiddleMan1 to get something about Chater1 from db to memory, like his contacts or other personal settings. When Chater2 login, RailsApp call MiddleMan2 do the same thing. But who is reponsible for the Global Data? like a Online Chaters

Here''s something strange! the_job_key = MiddleMan.new_worker( :class => :log_view_to_sf_worker, :args => "just a string" ) works fine. But the_job_key = MiddleMan.new_worker( :class => :log_view_to_sf_worker, :args => { :landing_page => @landing_page, :driver => @driver } ) does not. It is as if :args can only be a string, not a

I have just started playing with merb. I think this framework has great potential so ATTA BOYS are in order !! Perhaps I missed something in the readme file, but how do I generate a default app in merb. I was looking for something like the cmd below to generate the app hierarchy ?? > merb myapp -Fernand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

If, in the controller, I start a worker and pass in an argument like this: session[:job_key] = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :foo_worker, :args => {:emrec_id => @emrec.id}) How do I access the value in the worker? I can''t seem to figure it out ;-p Thanks! Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Thanks for this great app. I am having some problems configuring it in my server. I have a single app deployed three times, one is for testing, one is for demoing and the other one is for production. I read that it was unnecesary and it will not work to have multiple instances of backgroundrb for each of my deployments. I read that it was enough to instantiate backgroundrb only once from one of

What are people are doing when they need to deploy a new code base? You can''t just restart backgroundrb, because then you lose any long-running backgroundrb processes. But then you''d conceivably have to wait several hours for all your procs to complete before pushing out the new code base. I was originally thinking that during code deploys, we''d start up a second

<backgroundrb-devel at rubyforge.org>I am trying to send email as a background process from within a Rails app. The goal is that when I go to http://mysite.com/foo/bar, the background job kicks in and sends an email out. The relevant code snippets are below. This errors out with a wrong number of arguments passed (2 for 1) message. I think I am making a mess of passing parameters to the

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone has tried using the Paperclip file upload plugin with Backgroundrb. My current implementation uses attachment_fu - I save the file initially to the file system without generating thumbs, then a bdrb process picks up that file, generates thumbs, and saves to S3. This works fine and dandy, the only hitch is I want to save image metadata in the same table

Hi, This is a patch that allows you to work with multiple backgroundrb servers from within Rails. It modifies the rails worker proxy to use a middleman supplied in its constructor, instead of using the MiddleMan constant. Basically a fix to make BackgrounDRb::WorkerProxy.custom_connection usable (without patch, you can establish a custom connection but all calls to worker objects

Hi, I am just starting playing with merb and was wondering if there is any caching strategy available. I was planning on using the action caching plugin but I am quiet sure what is the merb plan with dealing with plugins... Any idea or suggestions ?

Hello, I''m trying to send emails from a backgroundrb worker and the email doesn''t send. I get no log messages in the sendmail log or the system log, nothing in the backgroundrb logs at all, nothing in the production log. Below is my code for each component worker: class QuizReviewerWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :quiz_review_sender def create(args =

I have a big report to produce from a Rails app that takes several minutes to put together. I hoped backgroundrb would be able to pull together all the ActiveRecord stuff in the background then throw it back to Rails for rendering. It seems, however, that I can''t pass an array of ActiveRecord objects from the worker back to Rails. Do I have that right? Another possibility was to do

All, How can I specify a load path in merb ? I have some classes in a lib directory that needs to be in the load path. Not sure how to accomplish that with merb....
