Hi,

I’m trying to get backgroundrb working for one of my apps. I’ve  
installed it as a plugin, got a problem with not being able to find  
packet\_finder\_runner out of the way, generated a worker, restarted  
backgroundrb and when I’m calling that runner from one of my  
controllers, the log says “no such worker”. I’m stumped, I cannot  
figure out why it won’t work! And there’s nothing else in the logs,  
which is even more frustrating. Maybe it’s looking in the wrong place  
(it’s in lib/workers), but it’s not telling me.

I hope anyone can help.

Thank you.

Ahum, never mind. I was using a faulty example for triggering a  
worker.

Could you point to the faulty example, and/or tell the author of it  
that it’s wrong, and/or send a patch fixing it? I’m sure the author  
and people starting out with backgroundrb would appreciate it.
