Issues with thin 1.5.0? about dashing

[pushmatrix]

Not sure why this would be happening. For my own dashboards, I'm running OSX Lion with ruby 1.9.3-p194 without problems, and I'm loading in tons of libraries and jobs.

Might sound silly, but are you loading any libraries inside of adder.rb, or are you doing anything computationally expensive? If adder.rb is empty, does it still do the same?

Here is my adder.rb code

(1..1000).each do |a|
  system `echo "#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{Time.now}" >> C:/Users/winmais/code/anas_dashboard/fake_data`
  sleep(0.2)
end

If I move adder.rb in the dashing root folder there is no problem.

The lib directory is not meant to run code, but rather to supply helper methods & classes for your jobs. If you have any executable code in there, it will run as soon as Dashing starts. Since you're calling sleep 1000 times, that would explain the slow load.

Placing adder.rb in your root folder won't cause a problem because the file won't be loaded/run. The only autoload paths are in jobs & lib.

If you want to do something every 0.2 seconds, your best bet is to use jobs. Each job is threaded, so you can do more expensive stuff in there.

jobs/adder.rb

SCHEDULER.every '0.2s', :first_in => 0 do
  system `echo "#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{rand(10..100)};#{Time.now}" >> C:/Users/winmais/code/anas_dashboard/fake_data`
end
