Zeus not reloading code changes in model files in Rails - ruby-on-rails

I've recently discovered Zeus and it's fantastic really speeds up my feedback loop when developing it's just that when I'm making changes to my model like adding a new method Zeus doesn't restart and the new method isn't loaded.
I'm not sure where to start debugging but I'm using Rails 4.0.2, ruby 2.0.0p353 and Rspec + Capybara for testing.
Anyone have any ideas or help that would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot

If you are using unicorn this could be your problem. Try using thin instead
Zeus:
Reloads models correctly when modifying callbacks and scopes, which
is not always the case for servers with hot-reload, such as Unicorn.
It also reloads views when writing integration specs.(source)
You may also need to reconfigure foreman. Check this thread for information on foreman support with Zeus: https://github.com/burke/zeus/issues/92

Puma 2.9.2 and rufus-scheduler 3.0.3 incompatibility

I´m using Rufus Scheduler 3.0.3 in a Ruby on Rails 4.1.4 web app and it´s working great with Unicorn. I moved to Puma and it´s great but I have realized Rufus is not working with Puma (daemonized).
I have read this issue #183 (comment) https://github.com/puma/puma/issues/183#issuecomment-59386038 that is closed for an earlier version, but it´s still not working and not clear to me if there is already a fix for it.
I don´t know if there is a workaround in the meantime.
UPDATE: There are not much logs to display, my rufus scheduler tasks are working when running with Unicorn, but If I change the server to Puma, it doesn´t run any automated task on my laptop. Even there is not any log to show.
I just add my current Rufus scheduler file:
task_scheduler.rb:
begin
require 'rufus-scheduler'
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new
#Secretary responsible for executing events every 60 seconds.
scheduler.every '60s' do
Secretary.executeEvents
end
# Statistics (Owner) calculation every 1 day.
scheduler.every '24h' do
StatisticsCalculator.updateOwnerStatistics
end
end
Am I missing any configuration?
On the Puma side, I just have this config file config/puma/development.rb with only this:
stdout_redirect 'log/puma.stdout.log', 'log/puma.stderr.log', true
I don´t set up any workers, etc...
No, it works.
I packaged this sample project for you:
https://github.com/jmettraux/for_rober
Rufus-scheduler 3.0.3 schedules just fine with Puma 2.9.2 (Ruby 1.9.3 on Debian GNU/Linux).
Thanks for not blaming other people's work without facts.
If there really is an issue, I suggest you go and read http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html, then read it again, three times. It's most surely available in your native language. Then, if you really think rufus-scheduler is the culprit, go and open a detailed issue report at https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler/issues Beware posting crappy "it doesn't work" material, it'll earn you only negative reactions.
UPDATE:
I strongly suggest you clone my mini-project on your machine and try it, then report the results here in the comments. The details are in the README.md of the project.
UPDATE:
Roberto is trying to get this issue solved in parallel, directly at https://github.com/puma/puma/issues/607
Finally, it looks there was an small issue. It has been kindly fixed by the Puma guys.
Please, see:

Debugging in rails 3

i want to debug ROR without going through the effort of putting inspect method for every relevant object in the controller as well in the model.is there a better way as we have in Java (Run time debugger using eclipse).i know that I can Use Rails.logger and also make use of rails Console(irb`).i am even aware of debugging/inspecting elements in erb/rb file.Still is there a better,quick and reliable way to debug a Rails app.
There is much better, see this railscats.
It presents two great gems, especially Better Errors
Otherwise, you could use pry with rails, see this railscast.
you can also use pry-rails, pry-debugger and then use binding.pry method in your code and then while using your app you have Rails console available in rails server
Add this lines to your application's Gemfile
group :development do
gem 'ruby-debug19'
end
then run cammand
bundle install
add debugger within your controller or model method, stop the rails server and restart again. Whenever rails found word debugger it stops control at that point. You can easily debug your value or object.
Hope this will helps you.

Rails 3 Locale switches when using different server

I've got a Rails 3.2.3 app with the default_locale set to :nl. When I start the app using Thin or Unicorn, the app's locale is set to :en. When I use Webrick, the locale is correctly set to :nl.
This change is triggered by a commit that updates several third-party gems, although I have not been able to single out any one gem upgrade in particular -- I can reverse each of them individually and get the same result. However, when I checkout the offending commit's parent, all is well too.
When I run the app on a remote server in production mode, it all works fine, so it seems to be local to my machine.
I have removed every single installed gem and re-installed them all, which made no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what might trigger this behaviour? And especially why using webrick or unicorn would make a difference?
Edit: I have pinpointed the bug to be triggered by upgrading Draper from 0.11 to 0.12 (issue at Github). Not sure if it is also the cause.
http://labs.revelationglobal.com/2009/11/13/unicorn_and_i18n.html
This problem has occured to me before wich was triggered by the "active_admin" gem you might want to use an earlier version to prevent this, I do not really know wich one so you can play around with it a little.
another option would be to set the active_admin locale in a before_filter,
config.before_filter :set_admin_locale
And set_admin_locale is in the application_controller:
def set_admin_locale
I18n.locale = :nl
end
hope it helped
I managed to track this problem down to a bad practice in my own Rails app that caused a bug by upgrading the Draper gem. There's a full explanation in the Draper documentation.

Speeding up rails tests during development by keeping Rails in memory?

When running rspec tests on my rails app using "rake" or "rake spec", it takes a long time to initialize Rails and start running tests.
Is there a way to keep Rails loaded in memory and run tests against it? I'm hoping there's something similar to using "grails interactive" like this How to speed up grails test execution but for Rails.
It's almost what Spork is all about.
See the most awesome railscast "How I test" http://railscasts.com/episodes/275-how-i-test
This uses guard to run a relevant test every time you save a file so you know almost instantly if the code you have written has caused a pass or a fail. Also if you are running on linux then you can use the libnotify and libnotify-rails gems which pop up a window for you (totally unobtrusively) indicating a pass or failure so you don't have to keep checking the console.
There is a Railscast called Spork that specifically discusses this problem at http://railscasts.com/episodes/285-spork and offers an excellent solution with a detailed walkthrough.

How do you spawn an EventMachine "inside" a Rails app?

I've got a Rails application, and am looking to add some sort of WebSocket support to it. From various googling, it appears that the best Ruby based WebSocket solution is em-websocket running on EventMachine.
I was wondering if there was a way to "integrate" an EventMachine reactor into Rails? Where do I put the initialization code? Is this the proper way to accomplish this?
I've seen this example that falls back on Sinatra to do an EventMachine GET request, but that isn't quite what I'm looking for.
Any help is appreciated.
You cannot run the Eventmachine engine inside of Rails itself as it is a persistent run loop that would block one of your Rails processes permanently. What is usually done is there's a side-process that uses Eventmachine and Rails communicates with it through sockets to send notifications.
Juggernaut serves as an example of this kind of thing where it implements a Websocket client and a Rails hook to send notifications to it. The project has since deprecated the Ruby version in favor of a JavaScript Node.js version but this still serves as a very thorough example of how Eventmachine can be used.
If you run rails application in a thin server (bundle exec thin start) thin server run EventMachine for you and then your rails application can execute EM code wherever you need.
By example:
A library o initializer with that code:
EM.next_tick do
EM.add_periodic_timer(20) do
puts 'from Event Machine in rails code'
end
end
not blocks rails processes application.
Don't know if this is what you are after. But if you would like to do provide some kind of socket-messaging system.
Have a look at Faye. It provides message servers for Node.js and Rack. There is also a rails cast for this by Ryan Bates which should simplify the implementation.
Hope that helps.
I spent a considerable amount of time looking into this. EventMachine need to run as a thread in your rails install (unless you are using Thin,) and there are some special considerations for Passenger. I wrote our implementation up here: http://www.hiringthing.com/2011/11/04/eventmachine-with-rails.html
UPDATE
We pulled this configuration out into a gem called Momentarily. Source is here https://github.com/eatenbyagrue/momentarily
I'd try using em-synchrony to start a reactor in a fiber. In a rails app you can probably start it in an initializer since it sounds like you just want to leave the reactor running to respond to websocket requests. As suggested by the other answers I think you want to either setup socket communication with your reactor or use one of the asynchronous clients to a data store which both your reactor and rails code can read from and write to to exchange data.
Some of my coworkers put together some examples of starting EM reactors on demand in ruby code to run their tests within EventMachine. I'd try using that as a possible example; raking and testing with eventmachine
I'd consider looking into Cramp. It's an async framework built on top of EventMachine, and it supports Thin server:
Rack Middlewares support + Rainbows! and Thin web servers
You probably shouldn't use EM any more if you can help it, it seems to no longer be maintained - if you encounter a bug - you're on your own.
Most of the answers above don't work in JRuby due to https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine/issues/479 - namely the pattern:
Thread.new{ EM.run }
used by EM::Synchrony and various answers found around the internet (such as EventMachine and Ruby Threads - what's really going on here?) are broken under JRuby eventmachine implementation (fibers are threads in jruby and there's currently no roadmap on when this will change).
JRuby messaging options would be
deploy with TorqueBox (which comes bundled with HornetQ), http://torquebox.org/news/2011/08/15/websockets-stomp-and-torquebox/, impressive and enterprisey but not really elegant unless you're coming from a Java background
newer versions of Faye should work with JRuby, Faye in jruby on rails
note for the future, keep an eye on the celluloid community, some interesting distributed solutions are coming from there https://github.com/celluloid/reel/wiki/WebSockets, https://github.com/celluloid/dcell
?
I had same problem and found solution. First, put your code in lib dir (for example /lib/listener/init.rb) and create one class method that run EM, for example Listener.run.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', File.dirname(__FILE__))
class Listener
def self.run
# your code here
# you can access your models too
end
end
After that I used dante gem. Create /init/listener file. The code may be like that:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.expand_path('../../lib/listener/init.rb', __FILE__)
log_file = File.expand_path('../../log/listener.stdout.log', __FILE__)
pid_file = File.expand_path('../../tmp/listener.pid', __FILE__)
listener = Dante::Runner.new('listener')
if ARGV[0] === 'start'
listener.execute(daemonize: true,
pid_path: pid_file,
log_path: log_file) { Listener.run }
elsif ARGV[0] === 'restart'
listener.execute(daemonize: true,
restart: true,
pid_path: pid_file,
log_path: log_file) { Listener.run }
elsif ARGV[0] === 'stop'
listener.execute(kill: true, pid_path: pid_file)
end
Now you can run you code like that: ./bin/listener start, ./bin/listener restart, ./bin/listener stop
You can use god for monitoring your listener is running. But make sure you're using same pid file (/tmp/listener.pid).
