+ # Thincloud::Resque
2
+
3
+ ## Description
4
+
5
+ Rails Engine to provide Resque support for Thincloud applications.
6
+
7
+ The Thincloud::Resque engine:
8
+
9
+ * Manages all of the Resque (and Redis) dependencies for your application
10
+ * Initializes the Redis connection and namespace for Resque
11
+ * Configures the Resque Front End (resque-web) to use HTTP Basic authentication
12
+ * Optionally configures `resque_mailer`
13
+ * Provides a Capistrano recipe to link resque-web assets during deployment
14
+
15
+
16
+ ## Requirements
17
+
18
+ This gem requires Rails 3.2+ and has been tested on the following versions:
19
+
20
+ * 3.2
21
+
22
+ This gem has been tested against the following Ruby versions:
23
+
24
+ * 1.9.3
25
+
26
+
27
+ ## Installation
28
+
29
+ Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
30
+
31
+ ``` ruby
32
+ gem "thincloud-resque"
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ * Run `bundle`
36
+
37
+ Or install it yourself as:
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ $ gem install thincloud-resque
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ ## Usage
44
+
45
+ ### Configuration
46
+
47
+ Thincloud::Resque configuration options are available to customize the engine behavior. Available options and their default values:
48
+
49
+ ```ruby
50
+ # Redis connection details
51
+ redis_url = "unix:///tmp/redis.sock"
52
+ redis_namespace = "resque:APP_NAME:RAILS_ENV"
53
+ redis_driver = "ruby" # make sure to include the gem for your driver
54
+
55
+ # Authenticaiton details used for the Resque Front End
56
+ web_username = "thincloud-resque"
57
+ web_password = "thincloud-resque"
58
+
59
+ # Environment(s) where Resque::Mailer should be enabled
60
+ mailer_environments = [:production]
61
+ ```
62
+ #### Environment Variables
63
+
64
+ Several of the options will use environment variables when found.
65
+
66
+ ```
67
+ redis_url -> ENV["REDIS_URL"]
68
+ web_username -> ENV["RESQUE_WEB_USERNAME"]
69
+ web_password -> ENV["RESQUE_WEB_PASSWORD"]
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ #### Configuration Block
73
+
74
+ The `Thincloud::Resque` module accepts a `configure` block that takes the same options listed above. This block can be put into an initializer or inside of a `config/environments` file.
75
+
76
+ ```ruby
77
+ Thincloud::Resque.configure do |config|
78
+ config.redis_url = "unix:///tmp/my_redis.sock"
79
+ config.redis_namespace = "my_redis_namespace"
80
+ config.redis_driver = "hiredis"
81
+ # ...
82
+ end
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ #### Rails Configuration
86
+
87
+ You can also access the configuration via the Rails configuration object. In fact, the engine uses the Rails config as storage when the block syntax is used. The `Thincloud::Resque::Configuration` object is made available under `config.thincloud.resque`. You can access this configuration in `config/application.rb` or in your `config/environments` files.
88
+
89
+ ```ruby
90
+ # ...
91
+ config.thincloud.resque.redis_url = "unix:///tmp/redis.sock"
92
+ config.thincloud.resque.redis_namespace = "my_config_namespace"
93
+ config.thincloud.resque.redis_driver = "hiredis"
94
+ #...
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ _Note: Configuration values take precendence over environment variables._
98
+
99
+ #### Mailers
100
+
101
+ Resque::Mailer is enabled for environments included in the `mailer_environments` array. By default it will be enabled for all mailers in those environments. If you need to selectively enable it for specific mailers you can disable all environments:
102
+
103
+ ```ruby
104
+ config.mailer_environments = []
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ and, for those mailers that need to background email, add the following line:
108
+
109
+ ```ruby
110
+ include Resque::Mailer
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ #### Routes
114
+
115
+ Resque has a built-in Front End Sinatra (resque-web) server that provides access to monitor the Resque server's status. To allow access to the Front End through your app you need to mount the engine in `config/routes.rb`:
116
+
117
+ ```ruby
118
+ mount Thincloud::Resque::Engine => "/resque"
119
+ ```
120
+ => `http://yourapp/resque`
121
+
122
+ Call this inside a namespace to create a nested route if needed:
123
+
124
+ ```ruby
125
+ namespace :admin do
126
+ mount Thincloud::Resque::Engine => "/resque"
127
+ end
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ => `http://yourapp/admin/resque`
131
+
132
+ #### Capistrano
133
+
134
+ To make resque-web assets available to the released application, add the following line to your `deploy.rb` or `Capfile`:
135
+
136
+ ```ruby
137
+ require "thincloud/resque/capistrano"
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ This adds a recipe called `thincloud:resque:link_assets` that will run after `deploy:update_code`. The recipe links the web assets from the Resque gem directory into your application's public directory.
141
+
142
+ #### Workers
143
+
144
+ You'll need Resque workers in order to have any jobs processed. We use `foreman` in our deployments to manage these. Simply add the following line to your `Procfile`:
145
+
146
+ ```
147
+ worker: bundle exec rake environment resque:work RAILS_ENV=$RAILS_ENV QUEUE=*
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ _This assumes you're running bundler and that you need the environment loaded for these workers. Modify to suit your needs._

1
+ == Welcome to Rails
2
+
3
+ Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create
4
+ database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
5
+
6
+ This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb"
7
+ templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between
8
+ HTML tags. The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account,
9
+ Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to
10
+ persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests
11
+ (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model
12
+ and directing data to the view.
13
+
14
+ In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
15
+ layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
16
+ database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
17
+ methods. You can read more about Active Record in
18
+ link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
19
+
20
+ The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
21
+ layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
22
+ are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
23
+ unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
24
+ more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
25
+ Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
26
+ link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
27
+
28
+
29
+ == Getting Started
30
+
31
+ 1. At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
32
+ <tt>rails new myapp</tt> (where <tt>myapp</tt> is the application name)
33
+
34
+ 2. Change directory to <tt>myapp</tt> and start the web server:
35
+ <tt>cd myapp; rails server</tt> (run with --help for options)
36
+
37
+ 3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you'll see:
38
+ "Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
39
+
40
+ 4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
41
+ the following resources handy:

47
+ == Debugging Rails
48
+
49
+ Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that
50
+ will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
51
+
52
+ First area to check is the application log files. Have "tail -f" commands
53
+ running on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display
54
+ debugging and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be
55
+ shown in the browser on requests from 127.0.0.1.
56
+
57
+ You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code
58
+ using the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
59
+
60
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
61
+ def destroy
62
+ @weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id])
63
+ @weblog.destroy
64
+ logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!")
65
+ end
66
+ end
67
+
68
+ The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
69
+
70
+ Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1!
71
+
72
+ More information on how to use the logger is at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
73
+
74
+ Also, Ruby documentation can be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/. There are
75
+ several books available online as well:
76
+
77
+ * Programming Ruby: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (Pickaxe)
78
+ * Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
79
+
80
+ These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on
81
+ programming in general.
82
+
83
+
84
+ == Debugger
85
+
86
+ Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start your
87
+ Mongrel or WEBrick server with --debugger. This means that you can break out of
88
+ execution at any point in the code, investigate and change the model, and then,
89
+ resume execution! You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging
90
+ mode. With gems, use <tt>sudo gem install ruby-debug</tt>. Example:
91
+
92
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
93
+ def index
94
+ @posts = Post.all
95
+ debugger
96
+ end
97
+ end
98
+
99
+ So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
100
+ with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
101
+
102
+ >> @posts.inspect
103
+ => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8
104
+ @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>,
105
+ #<Post:0x14a6620
106
+ @attributes={"title"=>"Rails", "body"=>"Only ten..", "id"=>"2"}>]"
107
+ >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger"
108
+ => "hello from a debugger"
109
+
110
+ ...and even better, you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
111
+
112
+ >> f = @posts.first
113
+ => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
114
+ >> f.
115
+ Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
116
+
117
+ Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you can enter "cont".
118
+
119
+
120
+ == Console
121
+
122
+ The console is a Ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your
123
+ application's domain model. Here you'll have all parts of the application
124
+ configured, just like it is when the application is running. You can inspect
125
+ domain models, change values, and save to the database. Starting the script
126
+ without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
127
+
128
+ To start the console, run <tt>rails console</tt> from the application
129
+ directory.
130
+
131
+ Options:
132
+
133
+ * Passing the <tt>-s, --sandbox</tt> argument will rollback any modifications
134
+ made to the database.
135
+ * Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding
136
+ environment. Example: <tt>rails console production</tt>.
137
+
138
+ To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run
139
+ <tt>reload!</tt>

142
+ link:http://www.rubycentral.org/pickaxe/irb.html
143
+
144
+
145
+ == dbconsole
146
+
147
+ You can go to the command line of your database directly through <tt>rails
148
+ dbconsole</tt>. You would be connected to the database with the credentials
149
+ defined in database.yml. Starting the script without arguments will connect you
150
+ to the development database. Passing an argument will connect you to a different
151
+ database, like <tt>rails dbconsole production</tt>. Currently works for MySQL,
152
+ PostgreSQL and SQLite 3.

196
+ app
197
+ Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
198
+
199
+ app/assets
200
+ Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
201
+
202
+ app/controllers
203
+ Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
204
+ automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
205
+ ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
206
+
207
+ app/models
208
+ Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from
209
+ ActiveRecord::Base by default.
210
+
211
+ app/views
212
+ Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
213
+ weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use
214
+ eRuby syntax by default.
215
+
216
+ app/views/layouts
217
+ Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
218
+ common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
219
+ using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
220
+ Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
221
+ layout.
222
+
223
+ app/helpers
224
+ Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are
225
+ generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers.
226
+ Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
227
+
228
+ config
229
+ Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database,
230
+ and other dependencies.
231
+
232
+ db
233
+ Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the
234
+ sequence of Migrations for your schema.
235
+
236
+ doc
237
+ This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when
238
+ generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
239
+
240
+ lib
241
+ Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that
242
+ doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in
243
+ the load path.
244
+
245
+ public
246
+ The directory available for the web server. Also contains the dispatchers and the
247
+ default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web
248
+ server.
249
+
250
+ script
251
+ Helper scripts for automation and generation.
252
+
253
+ test
254
+ Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate
255
+ command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this
256
+ directory.
257
+
258
+ vendor
259
+ External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins
260
+ subdirectory. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under
261
+ vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
