[Backgroundrb-devel] rails environment loaded but one plugin is undefined (using backgroundrb 0.2.0)

[Michael Hulet]

Hello all,

I'm using BackgroundRb 0.2.0 (standalone) and in the do_work method of
my worker, I'm working with objects from my Rails application. So in my
config/backgroundrb.yml file, I added this line:

    :load_rails: true

I think my worker isn't doing what I want him to do. So I opened the
console and read these error lines:

    # ruby script/backgroundrb console
    irb: warn: can't alias jobs from irb_jobs.
    irb(#<BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:0xb75b06dc>):001:0> Thumbnail
    => Thumbnail

            from
    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:133:in
    `send'
            from
    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:133:in
    `const_missing'
            from (irb):2
    irb(#<BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:0xb75b06dc>):003:0> exit

As you can see, I have "Thumbnail" and "Media" classes in my Rails
application. They are recognized, so Rails application seems to be
loaded. But my Media model uses the acts_as_taggable plugin... and so
the above error shown.

Do you know what I could do to load the plugin?

Have a nice week,

Michael
