similar to: Need to send email from a worker

Hello, Yesterday I posted about how to email from a worker. I decided to be a bit piggy and just inhale all of rails. Sorted. I am noticing some rather ominous behavior though. The setup: My worker takes an uploaded image as a param and passes it (via system call) to a C++ image processing engine. Take a look at these memory consumption figures for successive runs uploading the identical image

Hello, Bravo Ezra for Backgroundrb! What an elegant piece of engineering. I envision many folks like myself looking at our CPU hogging executables and finally seeing a clean path to the Web. I was wondering if any folks have a good strategy for calling out to a C++ (or any other compiled) executable from a worker. Is the only option to call system() from a worker? That feels a bit unsatisfying.

Hello, I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can''t even get out of the garage. I am following the instructions here: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262 As well as Duncan Davidson''s Deploying Rails with Lighty: Deploying Rails with LightTPDhttp://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty Specifically, when I do: rake remote:exec

Hello, I''ve built a powerful image manipulation engine in C++ that I want to deploy as a Web-based service for all to use. The idea is straight forward: Visit my site, submit a photo, select a visual treatment, press go, and receive the resultant photo via email. See samples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/theimageengine While the engine is rock solid, I am struggling a bit

Hello, I''m planning to deploy a hybrid 2D/3D visual fx and image manipulation engine as a server accessible via the Web. So you can send Flickr images to it for all manner of image trickery. My engine uses a little text-based language I devised that is parsed and a resultant image produced. The UI for this service collects the input image and associated params and passes the collection

Hello, Can someone tell me the best way to make a system call (from within my model) that runs for a while and requires params form my model, specifically attributes of my model. So, I need the correct syntax and also general guidelines for launching the process. Thanks so much. Regards, Doug -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb but I have 2 problems with it. First is when I launch a thread Toto from the do_work method. Toto can''t access to a class variable defined before... (undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass) I suspect that thread is launched when backgroundrb start but the worker not .. My code is : class MonWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase

Hello ! 1) I have this error logged by bdrb: undefined method `send_request'' for nil:NilClass framework/packet_master.rb:58:in `ask_worker'' backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:59:in `process_work'' backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:16:in `receive_data'' backgroundrb/framework/bin_parser.rb:29:in `call'' backgroundrb/framework/bin_parser.rb:29:in

Hi. I''m using backgroundrb to, in part, wrap smtp transactions made through actionmailer. The problem is that when smtp fails with a timeout error, the worker simply stops at that point. No exception is returned. I''ve tried wrapping this call in a begin...rescue block but no exception seems to be making it back to the worker (other methods are correctly passing exceptions to

Hello, I''m trying to send emails from a backgroundrb worker and the email doesn''t send. I get no log messages in the sendmail log or the system log, nothing in the backgroundrb logs at all, nothing in the production log. Below is my code for each component worker: class QuizReviewerWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :quiz_review_sender def create(args =

In my app, I store the job key when a worker is fired off and then check back in periodically to see how its doing. The workers delete themselves when they''re done. I would expect when I try to get a worker that has been deleted, I would get nil or a proper exception, but instead I get: >> MiddleMan.worker(''foobar'') NoMethodError: undefined method

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

We ran into some problems accessing a freshly created worker, and had to insert a sleep of 1 second to get it to work. It looks like Ezra and skaar already know this: from middleman.rb: # HACK: there is a race in the worker/slave creation, we # currently need to sleep between create. sleep 0.1 You might want to increase it to 1 second for those of us on slowly mac books.

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, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

When I call ask_status on a worker that has not been started I get and exception of type BackgrounDRb::BdrbConnError, which is fine. I can deal with that, but I also find that the backgroundrb process dies as well. The scenario is simple: Call ask_status on a worker that is not auto loaded. I used a job_key, in case that makes a difference. -------------- next part -------------- An

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: $

Is there something special I need to do to access session data in a worker? I''m using an AR session store. I''ve been working with Ezra''s tutorial, modifying it a little here and there to figure it out. So I changed the progress bar to a simple count-down in the worker which sends back the count to display in the view. No big deal. But if I try to access session

I have installed backgroundrb. I can start it. I have read everything I can get my hands on, and have read the list for a few months. I have written a worker, and am ready to start. This worker reads a queue, and processes it (sends queued emails). Sends 10, sleeps for a minute, sends 10 until done - very straightforward. My question is, what would be the best way to run this? I have
