Eine Lösung, die ich gerade gemacht habe (viel von @teeg ausgeliehen), die gut zu funktionieren scheint (habe sie aber nicht auf Fehler getestet)
config/initializers/redis.rb
$redis = Redis.new(:host => "xxxx.com", :port => 6379)
heartbeat_thread = Thread.new do
while true
$redis.publish("heartbeat","thump")
sleep 30.seconds
end
end
at_exit do
# not sure this is needed, but just in case
heartbeat_thread.kill
$redis.quit
end
Und dann in meinem Controller:
def events
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/event-stream"
redis = Redis.new(:host => "xxxxxxx.com", :port => 6379)
logger.info "New stream starting, connecting to redis"
redis.subscribe(['parse.new','heartbeat']) do |on|
on.message do |event, data|
if event == 'parse.new'
response.stream.write("event: parse\ndata: #{data}\n\n")
elsif event == 'heartbeat'
response.stream.write("event: heartbeat\ndata: heartbeat\n\n")
end
end
end
rescue IOError
logger.info "Stream closed"
ensure
logger.info "Stopping stream thread"
redis.quit
response.stream.close
end
