similar to: Very strange after_save problem. Please help.

I have a pretty strange problem. Here is basically what I have to demonstrate my problem: class Event < ActiveRecord::Base def after_create AnotherClass.find_event(id) end end class AnotherClass < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_event(event_id) e = Event.find event_id end end Here is the catch 22 and it''s quite annoying. Basically ActiveRecord puts to whole save

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

Hey guys, Firstly, I''m new to the list and great work with backgroundrb, it''s sweet!!! I''ve just started noticing an issue and i''m wondering if there is a standard fix. The situation is as follows: 1. In my model''s after_save I call my worker asynchronously with the active record object''s id as a parameter (the record that has just

Hi, AFAIK after_create is called after_save if the entry does not exist in the DB. Is there a way to tell if a specific model is new or not in after_save? I have to do something like: def after_save add_to_history ''save'' end def after_create add_to_history ''create'' end However after_save is called when creating too. -- cheers, M.

Ok let this be a lesson to the general public. If you want to look as idiotic as I do right now do the following: Stay up all night and attempt to debug code the next day without coffee Patch the wrong file RAILS_ROOT/scripts/backgroundrb/start instead of one in plugin dir. Create a patch in the right location containing nothing but an extra space Send it to the whole Ruby community AND file a

Does after_save in a model delete if an exception is raised in there? I simply did def after_save raise ''hmmm'' end and it raised the exception but there was nothing in the database. I removed that entire method and its in the database. Is this correct? Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson@contuitive.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

hi, i am using drb and it is working fine on my local pc on windows.. and after uploading the code to the server it was working for sometime but now it gives me error every time i invoke the process.. error--- uninitialized constant EmailWorker::Notifier - (NameError) /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:477:in `const_missing''

I have a job that I am starting from a Rails controller in production mode using MiddleMan: MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :import_ccg_category_worker, :args => { :category_id => @category.id, :remote_category_id => params[:remote_category_id], :description => "Importing CCG products for #{@ category.name}" }) Both of the category ID variables are just basic integers. I

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

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

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

Hey all, I''m having some issues moving a project that incorporates Backgroundrb onto a staging server... For some reason (surely of my own doing), my RailsBase workers are insisting on using trying to access my development DB instead of my "production" DB. When I try to load a model object from within a worker, I get the following: 20061120-21:54:28 (26296)

I''m trying to add some code for my ActiveRecord class so that it is executed whenever an object is updated, this code is a seperate process that reads from the same table represented by my model class so when it runs it needs the database to be up to date. In the following situation this is fine: # MyModel def after_save `/usr/local/bin/update_models -i #{self.id}` end # controller

Hello, I am trying to make DRb calls to a external server from a backgrounDRb worker, but I''m getting always the next exception when I make the remote call. > ERROR: > drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.11175/experimenter_worker_3e899de945f0803a82cd257cfac316d0_0_0.0738904928422051 > - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - >

Hi all I''m experiencing something strange with a :job_key, it took me a very long time to find out a worker wasn''t doing it''s job because of the name of my job_key. The first one I tried was :make_kohier, and with that name (and lot''s of other ones) I can''t get the worker to work. I do get my key in return, but the job doesn''t start

Hey Guys, In the readme for Backgroundrb it says that windows support has been depcreated for this version, but then it goes on to mention how to use it in Windows. So I''m not sure if it should be running on windows or not, so I''ll ask anyway. Also, I''m new to ruby and I''m also new to server administration, so I apologize if my questions are pretty

Hello all, After upgrading to Rails 1.2.2, I''m getting a strange error when one of my workers is invoked. The worker is responsible for monitoring a folder (using directory_watcher) and emailing a specific user when a file is dropped there, but it''s bombing immediately upon instantiation (or maybe when trying to instantiate ActionMailer?) with the error "Text is not a

I''m having trouble getting backgroundrb up and running in a production environment.

Hi, I''m not much of a developer but I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now and with the release of 0.2.1 it looks like I can finally upgrade from the old version (0.2.0 had some weird issues when jobs just wouldn''t run, seems to have cleared up now - Thanks!). Anyhow, while I''m doing this, I would like to tackle this problem. Most tasks I run in
