similar to: can''t dump: session wierdness

Hi, I am getting my hands on trying the cool BackgrounDrb plugin. Following various discussions and suggestsion, I included "include DRbUndumped" in my ActiveRecord model. However, the following exception occurs after I tried this and hit the page that uses this model. Does anyone know why this is so? Is it possible that an object cannot be DRbUndumped (that would mean, we

Hi, Does it make sense to test a worker class by calling Middleman.new_worker? Or should I just be testing the functionality in the do_work method, with, say, a mock object. This seems like a really ugly DRY violation: you''d need to keep the code in the mock and the real worker in sync. That''s the philosophical half of my question. In fact, until someone tells me why I

Hi *, are there some special settings except of "load_rails: true" to make ActiveRecord models accessible within my workers? I''ve just installed the latest version of this great plugin, but I keep getting undefined method [] for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x12345> (line 105 in backgroundrb.rb) when one of the arguments for the worker is an ActiveRecord object. I assume that

got a wierd problem maybe someone can help with. whenever i try to pass an array or AR objects to my worker, i end up with a DRb object in the worker...here''s an example class SearchWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :resources def do_work(resources) logger.info resources.inspect end end class SearchController < ApplicationController def start_search

I tried installing BackgrounDRb today. Followed the readme, made a little worker for myself and executed it within the code. But I keep getting this error. I must''ve gone over the README a zillion times. Any idea what it is? undefined method `[]'' for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x2501bd4>

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

My application has one central database + Rails server and many distributed GUI clients. The remote clients need to read and update different collections of ActiveRecords. They also need to submit fairly demanding calculation + database update requests. Have you designed a similar Ruby application? What did you do? I''ll try to summarize the approachs I''m considering

Hi, I have a link_to_remote name ''Show notes'', which calls an action that uses this RJS template: page.replace "notes_remote", :partial => "notes/hide_notes_link" page.insert_html :top, "notes_list", :template => "notes/list" page.visual_effect :highlight, ''notes_list'', :duration => 3 Works great. The

Hi. I thought that BackgrounDrb was the perfect solution for my long running report production tasks. But I can''t seem to get anything useful back out of it. I set up a simple test worker that just does class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :pupil def do_work(args) @progress=0 @pupil=Pupil.find(3) sleep rand*10 @progress=100 end when I try to

Hi Ezra, Thanks for the great work on BackgrounDRb. I have come across a couple of problems. 1. I wanted to define a simple class in the worker file to wrap up and pass back some data to my controller. It seems that if I create the class either inside or outside of my worker class (in the same file) it gets wrapper by a DRb::DRbUknown object and therefore cannot be accessed from my controller.

I''m getting strange data back from my worker whenever I run our rails app with more than one dispatcher under lighttpd. just to give some info on what the app does: user submits data to rails app. rails app hands off data to worker, which goes and does it''s thing, storing results in an array of response objects (the array is an attribute of the worker). the response object

Friends- I see more and more folks wanting an application wide context object that will work regardless of server software(webrick,mongrel, fcgi''s, scgi''s) This can be a very useful technique if done correctly. Here is a little info that I have gleaned on a great way to do this type of thing. -----Easy AppServer---------------- An easy way to get yourself an

Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions. Are there any more of such recommendations? Also, what is currently the safest version of mongrel to use in production? Jeroen

The following code works fine as long as I don''t try to run it through the distributed server. It doesn''t get there... It runs fine out of delayed_job, runs fine if called directly. But if ''distrib'' is true (the default) it runs right up to the call to the server and right past it without getting to the server or raising any errors. Am using Ruby 1.8.6.26 ,

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

Friends- I''m happy to annouce the first alpa release of BackgrounDRb. This is a small framework for managing long running background tasks that allows for ajax progress bars and more. It also serves as an Application wide cache and context store for when you need something like sessions but shared between users and multiple backend processes like fcgi''s or mongrels.

i''m having some problems getting a simple example going with backgrounDRB. after i set my worker to work i try to get back the result like this: w = MiddleMan.worker(key) w.items comes back as DRb::DRbUnknown (i have items as attr_reader in my worker and access it inside there with @items). the result is actually activerecord results in an array. when i change it so my worker puts

Hi All I have a requirement to consume a 3rd party web service from my Rails application. I am doing this in my action require ''soap/wsdlDriver'' factory = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(TRANSIDIOM_WSDL_URL) soap = factory.create_rpc_driver soap.wiredump_file_base="#{RAILS_ROOT}/log/transidiom.log" param = %(<Request

Hi All, When trying to write sessions file, I''m getting disc quota errors. Looking into the sessions folder, I see: -rw------- 1 www www 188 Aug 2 21:03 ruby_sess.d39a2c77b4750b72 -rw-r--r-- 1 www www 0 Aug 2 21:03 ruby_sess.d39a2c77b4750b72.tmp I''m guessing the the tmp should not be there, as it does not show on my dev setup. I''m using rails (1.1.1)

Cheers, I''ve stumbled over a bug with 1.0 and ActiveRecord store for session while migrating from pstore sessions. I created the table with `rake create_sessions_table` and set `config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store` in environment.rb. Everything runs fine except that the flash messages will not be cleared. I get the same message everytime on everypage I
