DRb not starting

Hi,

I have my Model as follows:

class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{},
:product_id=>{:index => :untokenized},
:product_description=>{},
:product_label_description=>{},
:product_label_free=>{},
:product_product_id_supplier=>{},
:product_description_supplier=>{},
:supplier_description=>{},
:pub_date_sort => {:index => :untokenized_omit_norms, :term_vector =>
:no},
:location_id => {:index => :untokenized},
:tab => {:index => :untokenized}},:remote => false})

THis will do the ferret locally without the DRB server. Works ok.

If I change this to:

class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{},
:product_id=>{:index => :untokenized},
:product_description=>{},
:product_label_description=>{},
:product_label_free=>{},
:product_product_id_supplier=>{},
:product_description_supplier=>{},
:supplier_description=>{},
:pub_date_sort => {:index => :untokenized_omit_norms, :term_vector =>
:no},
:location_id => {:index => :untokenized},
:tab => {:index => :untokenized}},:remote => true})

I get the following error when starting ferret server (and also when
starting mongrel)

/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open’: druby://localhost:9010

  • #<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)>

When I change the :remote back to false, both Mongrel as DRB start
without an error message.

Hi!

Do you use the latest acts_as_ferret (0.4.1)?

I am running revision 217 of the AAF plugin

Strange thing is that I have another model where remote => true is
configured but this does not give an issue, only this specific model
generates the problem as soon as remote is set to true.

The other model looks like this:

acts_as_ferret ({:fields =>
[:description,:label_description,:label_free,:product_id_supplier,:description_supplier,:supplier_description]
, :remote => true})

AFter some debugging, I got it working:

acts_as_ferret (:fields => {:description=>{},
:product_id=>{:index => :untokenized},
:product_description=>{},
:product_label_description=>{},
:product_label_free=>{},
:product_product_id_supplier=>{},

:pub_date_sort => {:index => :untokenized_omit_norms, :term_vector =>
:no},
:location_id => {:index => :untokenized},
:tab => {:index => :untokenized}},:remote=>true)

Small difference in usage of {}

What I also find strange is that when I start Mongrel it shows:

Why is it refering to AAF during startup. It only does this for the

show up during Mongrel startup. I have also check it with webrick and
some occurs.

This output should go to the log file normally, not sure why you see it
on stdout. However it looks like you didn’t specify :remote => true in
this case (that’s the “Asked for a remote server?” line).

Interesting would be the output and log files from starting the DRb
server. Most of the time these problems stem from the DRb server not
realizing that it is the DRb server, resulting in aaf inside the DRb
server trying to connect to another (of course non-existent) DRb server.

Maybe this is a way to the solution: Observers.

for my problem model ‘Mutation’ I also have configured an observer. With
the observer defined and remote set to true in the model, DRB server
does not start. If I remove the observer statement, the DRB server
starts without a problem.

This may also explain why mongrel has the AAF log messages during
startup because it is accessing the Model because of the observer
statement.

Not sure how to fix it though.

I got it working now but starting the DRB server as follows:

FERRET_USE_LOCAL_INDEX=1 RAILS_ENV=production script/ferret_start

Yeah this problem is known - when the model gets loaded during rails
startup (the DRb server runs in a full Rails environment) and therefore
before the server itself is started, aaf inside the model has no way to
know it is running inside the server and so tries to connect to the
server which of course isn’t there yet. However recent aaf (0.4.1 or
trunk) should not have this problem, it uses an environment variable set
in script/ferret_start to tell aaf it shouldn’t try to connect to DRb.

The ferret_start in RAILS_ROOT/script directory does not have those
lines but the vendor/plugin/acts_as_ferret/script/ferret_start does.

I have done a fresh svn install of the plugin this morning.

hm, svn install is supposed to copy those files from
