Guys,

I added an address search function in an after\_save on my Address  
model. When you key in an address in the form, it tries to look up  
the latitude, longitude using geocoding, and fill in two fields  
(:lat, :long). But somehow it’s getting stuck. When I comment out  
the after\_save call, it works normally (but doesn’t set :lat  
and :long), obviously. I put in logger lines to mark the beginning of  
'digging for geocoding for address : #{full\_address}", and  
“finished”. I see the beginning message in the log, but no  
“finished”.

I know this kind of thing might be an excellent candidate for a daemon  
process.

What I’m wondering is, how can I troubleshoot what’s happening? I  
don’t see a single error in the log. Could there be errors logged  
anywhere else?

TIA,
