Here's the usage
When creating a worker the :create method gets called with args you
pass this in with the :data argument to new_worker
MiddleMan.new_worker( :worker => :notification_worker, :worker_key =>
'test', :data => "some argument" )
a bit confusing on the names but it is documented. The create method
says args even though you pass it in as data
When sending args to your method after you worker is created use
something like
MiddleMan.worker( :notification_worker, 'test').enq_some_task( :arg =>
"some argument" )
Hope that helps

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?
