<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all, I have been researching background processing
options and I think BackgroundDRb is a good fit for our project. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I set up a test project to play around and prototype the
behavior I want but I ran into the same problem as Reynard. I created a skeleton
worker using the generator and I am trying to call a test function on the
worker. (basically following the tutorial)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here’s the code I’m trying to run:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>>> MiddleMan.new_worker(:worker => :upload_worker,
:worker_key => :test_key)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>=> “work”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>>> MiddleMan.worker(:upload_worker, :test_key).upload()<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>=> nil<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And heres what I see in the logs:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Invalid worker with name upload_worker_test_work and key
test_work<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Reynard did you ever solve this problem? It must be
something basic I am missing can anyone point me in the right direction?<o:p></o:p></p>
