[Backgroundrb-devel] enq_method doesn't pass 'arg'

[Justin Wood]

Hi, All

It appears that when you enque a task, backgroundrb doesn't pass the "arg"
parameter when running the enqued method.

This is my worker:

class NotificationWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker
  set_worker_name :notification_worker

 def create(args = nil)
   logger.info("Args: #{args}")
 end

  def send_warranty_notice(data)
      logger.info "Sending warranty notice id is #{data}"
  end
end

Here's how I call it from IRB

MiddleMan.worker(:notification_worker).enq_send_warranty_notice(:arg=>"asdf",:job_key=>Time.now.to_s,:scheduled_at
=> Time.now + 3.seconds)

The "send_warranty_notice" method gets called but the parameter passed
(data) is nil.


Calling async_method works fine:

MiddleMan.worker(:notification_worker).async_send_warranty_notice(:arg=>"asdf")

prints out "Sending warranty notice id is asdf" in the drb log.

Also I noticed that on the following page
http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/workers/ the following text

MiddleMan(:hello_worker).enq_some_task(:arg => "hello_world",:job_key => "boy")

should read

MiddleMan.worker(:hello_worker).enq_some_task(:arg =>
"hello_world",:job_key => "boy")  ... unless I am missing something?


Any suggestions on how I can fix the arg passing problem?
