I''m digging into BackgrounDRb and having some problems testing a worker class. The following line in my test (created from script/generate worker Test) throws an error: worker = TestWorker.new(:test_string => "testing...") Error: /activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb (NameError) from

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, 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, 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 ?

Hi the list people, hi Ezra, I just read from this message http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2006-July/000134.html that BackgrounDRb will offer a way to kill a worker from within itself. As this message is from 7/25, I wonder if this feature has been added since. If not, is there any way to do it? I tried this: MiddleMan.delete_worker(@_job_key) But it raise: uninitialized

All, I am getting an undefined method exception while trying to use a helper method in a xerb file. I am running version 0.0.8 module Merb module FredHelper def blee( args ) .... end end end In the xerb template I have xml.bobo blee( args ) At runtime I am getting undefined method ''blee'' I tryied

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

I was looking in using an xml_builder template to do something like: blee.xerb xml.blees do <% for blee in @blees %> xml.blee = blee.name <% end %> end It looks like the xml_builder template can''t expand the erb tag. It this not the correct way to expand and xml template ? Thanks ! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey. I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong. Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action, suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost: DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222 Pid: 3976 Autostart... done druby://localhost:42531 - #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor -

Hi, I am using backgroundrb to create a automated system of typo blogs.So, users can create new typo applications using web interface and all that jazz. Now..its working perfectly except one minor glitch. Since latest version of typo has a command called "typo", i simply use that command to install new typo app.And it works. def do_work(args) DIR =

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 ?

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:

Can''t believe I can''t see the problem here, but after a few hours bashing my head on a brick wall, going to risk looking stupid by seeing if anyone can point out my idiocy (that''s the worst thing about coding on your own). Trying to get BackgrounDRb to take over the scraping task which is currently being done in a Rails controller. That''s not the problem at

so i have an after_create method on my track model that kicks off a background process that converts an mp3 to a swf. this is working fine locally on my machine, but upon moving it to my production server, i am getting the following error. I''ve only been using backgroundRB for like 48 hours, so i''m not really sure what this means or where to go. any ideas?

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

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....

Hi there, I''m trying to create a worker to do some asynchronous web client work and update the data model with its results. It seems, however, that every call I make to an ActiveRecord subclass causes the whole thing to block. At least I think it''s blocked. Right now I''m just using debug log output. Is there a decent way to debug/test workers I can try? Is there any

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, Ok, As i promised.. I am working on new version of BackgrounDRB, which is getting close and will be out soon. I need some feedback from you guys. So, please reply back. The code has changed significantly and its no longer using DRB. But I will keep the name BackgroundRb. Ok, in new API, a worker looks like this: require "net/smtp" require "guid" class NewsletterWorker

Hi , I was wondering if anyone else has tried to use the Timeout::timeout method in a backgroundrb Worker and had Timeout raise an exception after the allotted amount of time . I ask because i have written a test script to make sure Timeout would work . I have tested the script by directly feeding it to ruby with : $ ruby test_script.rb and piping the script to the rails console: $
