similar to: Ezra....allow_concurrency = false?

Since MiddleMan is an uninitialized constant in a worker how do you create new workers inside a worker?

I have concluded that it is impossible to get this background process stable. I am out of ideas and could really use some help. Here is what I have: 50 workers, just running an infinite loop that constantly calls save! on a model. Keep in mind this is just for testing purposes. I catch all exceptions and put them in the log. I am tried setting allow_concurrency to true and false. Neither

I am in my rails project directory and I ran the following command: script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb and I get this: sh: svn: command not found Any idea how I can install backgroundrb or what the problem is? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson at contuitive.com O: 800-341-6826 M: 817-229-4258 -------------- next part

I am pretty confident that mailers do not work in backgroundrb. Can anyone confirm this? Because when I try to do Notifier.deliver_some_method I get an error saying it cant find the templates for my email. The funny thing is that when I run script/ runner Notifier.deliver_some_method it works just fine. Any ideas? Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson at contuitive.com O: 800-341-6826 M:

a has many b''s b has many c''s results = A.find params[:id], :include => :b How do you also make sure the b''s include the c''s? Thanks for your help.

I''m not sure if this is a problem or not, but it definitely henders the way one would use the passing of objects to the drb server. Isn''t the point of passing objects to the drb server to act like its passing to just another local method? When I pass an object to the drb server a lot of the useful methods are gone. Such as id() or class () or inspect(), etc. I spent a

First off, amazing plugin! Being a rails noob, it helped me do some stuff I would''ve thought way over my head. Which brings me to my problem. :) I''m using backgroundrb to handle some processes that take so long that I don''t want them tied to a page refresh (several xml-rpc calls and saving data in text files on the server). I got it working with backgroundrb fairly

I have a very strange problem here. I do not get this. So any help is greatly appreciated. Basically I have a model that calls a method in the background process in the "after_save" method. Let''s call the model products. So what happens is this: 1. I create a new product. 2. Everything works and the product is saved with id 13. 3. A method is called in my background

Folks- I just commited another revision of the plugin. Nothing huge in this update but some extra features. Acl lists are now configurable in the config file. So you will want to blow away and recreate your config file again. Thanks to Georg Friedrich for this. And I applied Gunter Ladwig''s patch for singleton worker classes. These are workers that only have one instance of

I noticed in the BackgroundRB class in the delete_worker method there is a line: if @jobs[key].respond_to? :thread For some reason this is returning false for me, it gets down to this line and returns false, not killing the thread. Any idea why this is returning false? Thanks for your help. Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson at contuitive.com -------------- next part -------------- An

I have a simple question when to the synchronize method in the Mutex class. Now that backgroundrb has allow_concurrency = true there is no need to synchronize database calls in threads. The question I have is lets say I have a simple method in my worker as follows: def some_method SomeModel.find_all each do |obj| obj.some_count += 1 obj.save! end end It accesses the database, but

If there is an exception raised in my worker I rescue it and throw it into the log. This is decent, but it would really help to find out more information. Like the line number, the stack trace, etc. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to make the process priority higher for backgroundrb? Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson at contuitive.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/attachments/20060819/7a2e6d1b/attachment.html

Does any have any idea why I would get: Mysql::Error: Too many connections I am creating new threads in my background process. I know allow_concurrency is set to true. Does this create a new database connection when a new thread is created? Because what I''m doing is similar to this: @threads[model.id] = Thread.new do end I also kill off these threads and over write some of the

I have a simple question. Let''s say I do this in one of my models: after_save drb_conn.some_method(self) end When that object gets over to the background process is it the exact same as?.... Model.find some_id #in the background process As far as my background process is concerned passing the object is not any different than passing the id and using the find method? Because

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

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 =

Does rails have a nifty utility for creating javascript drop down menus? Thanks for the help.

I''m using backgroundrb for session management and deletion of visitor-entered information when a session is abandoned. The visitor can either click a button to end their session and remove their data, or backgroundrb will do it for them after 5 minutes of inactivity. Everything''s working fine, I think. If the visitor explicitly logs out, then when the worker checks for their

In my worker class, when i try to start the worker thread, it throws the error: uninitialized constant LoginEngine - (NameError) /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:131:in `const_missing''
