BackgrounDRb behavoir

Call me confused. I call the following:

MiddleMan.schedule_worker(
:class => :update_friends_worker,
:job_key => :schedule_test,
:worker_method => :arg_method,
:worker_method_args => “my argument to arg_method”,
:trigger_type => :cron_trigger,
:trigger_args => “1 * * * * * *”
)

And that worker looks like:

class UpdateFriendsWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase

def do_work(args)
logger.info(‘Shoes’)
end

end
UpdateFriendsWorker.register

Shouldn’t the above put an entry ‘Shoes’ in the log every minute? I only
get 1, and that’s it. Been waiting 5 minutes.

The method that will be called by the scheduler is :arg_method since
thats how you defined it. The do_work method always gets called once
on worker instantiation. the :worker_method is the method that will
be called by the scheduler.

    logger.info('Shoes')

end

 def arg_method
     logger.info('UrMom')
 end

end
UpdateFriendsWorker.register

Doh. Simple mistake.

One more question. What is the preferred method for granting workers in
/lib/workers access to my application’s controller classes?
