Hi everyone,
I have two workers, a connection_worker and an interface_worker, that I want
to be able to call methods on each other. Initially I thought I could do
this:
connection_worker
def alive?
return true
end
end
interface_worker
def test_connection
if MiddleMan.worker(:connection_worker).alive?(true)
return true
end
end
end
Obviously this is a somewhat contrived test but I was just trying to make
sure everything worked. I use alive?(true) because, according to
http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/rails/index.html, passing true should
cause the worker to wait for a result and return that result. Unfortunately
that doesn't seem to be the cause: every time I run this method I get nil
back from the connection_worker. I know that in this specific case I could
just check whether the connection_worker is running, but what I'm really
trying to test here is how to communicate between the two workers, not
whether the connection_worker is alive.
So I'm wondering what the best way to communicate between these workers is.
I took a look at the advanced stuff and I think that maybe connect and
start_server could work for me, but the documentation on them leaves me
confused as to how to actually implement them. Any suggestions or help would
be much appreciated.
Josh
