BackgrounDRb undefined method

I'm using BackgrounDRb and according to the API I should be able to use methods such as delete_worker() and send_request(). However when I try to invoke these methods on my workers I get undefined method errors:

NoMethodError: undefined method `ask_work' for #<BackgrounDRb::ClusterConnection:0xb7460304>

I'm simply using the basic backgroundrb.yml for my configuration

Code : - fold - unfold

   1. ---    2. :backgroundrb:    3. :ip: 0.0.0.0    4. :port: 11008

Would anybody know why I'm getting these errors?

I am terribly sorry for this, but bdrb client API has changed slightly and in fact, its always best idea to refer official docs at:

http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org

and RDoc manual thats linked there, as I mentioned in my previous mail. Blog posts(including mine) and screencasts sometimes go out of date with programming libraries.

In word, ask_work is no longer exposed to rails and if you want to invoke a method, you will have to use:

#for async calls MiddleMan.worker(:foo_worker).async_some_task(:arg => "foobar")

# for blocking/sync calls MiddleMan.worker(:foo_worker).some_task(:arg => "foobar")
