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:

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

In a previous email you wrote this: Glad you''re getting some use out of the plugin ;) ActiveRecord does have some issues with threading and concurrency that can sometimes cause that error you are seeing. Open up your script/backgroundrb/ start file and comment out the following line: ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency = true Make sure you do that up in your main app script folder

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

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

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

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 have workers that need to be created when I run rake backgroundrb:start. Where do I put this code? Thanks for your help.

I made a worker that run an infinite loop and does the following: while true @logger << "logging #{Time.now}" sleep 2 end In my secong console I did: tail log/backgroundrb.log -f This is so I could see the line getting added to the log every 2 seconds. Then in my other console I started script/console and created a new worker. Then killed it with

Does anyone know where I can find good documentation on how to use RJS template. I know I can do various things with the page object: page.visual_effect :shake, ''some_id'' Is there a list of method I can run on the page onject and what parameters they are expecting? I can''t find this anywhere. Thanks for your help. Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson@contuitive.com

I figured instead of asking a question I would share some useful knowledge I learned this week. Maybe you already know this, maybe you dont. If you use backgroundrb to run an "infinite" loop, or create many threads, or do quite a bit of processor intensive tasks, and you notice that its running kind of slow, it might not be a bad idea to have multiple backgroundrb processes

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

I just updated backgroundrb to the latest version, and now I get this: uninitialized constant MiddleMan /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:131:in `const_missing''

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

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.

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

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
