That was a good call, you definitely don't want to store variables in config vars. Save if for constants (passwords, urls, etc).
It seems like you might be getting an error due to different versions of RestClient, not sure though. What version are you using? What's the stack trace for the exception? On a side note, if it helps you can call heroku workers passing relative values, like +3, -1, etc. On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 12:00 PM, rubynoob <mysmilecent...@gmail.com> wrote: > Instead of storing the count of active workers as a heroku config > variable, I decided to create a table in our database to store the > value in. > So now I've got the problem narrowed down to the last line in the > method.
