Instances don't work after fork #346

Closed brauliobo closed 6 months ago

brauliobo commented 6 months ago

In the code below:

[1] pry(main)> s=Rufus::Scheduler.new; fork{ s.every('1s'){ puts 'blah' } }
=> 176616

blah will never be printed. If the instance is created inside the fork block then it works.

This is as expected.

just curious, why? maybe an error should be raised?

Because rufus-scheduler uses threads.

maybe an error should be raised?

You're the first person in 10 or more years to ask for that. If more people were clamouring for it, I would consider that. .

People usually go for sidekiq-cron, solid_queue, whenever, or others. Maybe one of those is what you are looking for.
