[Backgroundrb-devel] Rake tasks fail silently, how to debug?

[James Hughes]

Hi,

I've been using backgroundrb with some success up to now, but now when
I do the start or setup tasks they just fail silently. Nothing in the
log, no .pid file, and nothing in the process list. Rake with -trace
just says,

** Invoke backgroundrb:setup (first_time)
** Execute backgroundrb:setup

Any hints on how I can get more verbosity, or thoughts on what might
be happening?

(This happens with both the rails gem and edge; also, I'm tracking
backgroundrb via svn:externals)

thanks,
jh
