I just started using paperclip and have a custom processor. I have put the new processor in the correct location RAILS_ROOT/lib/paperclip_processors But, it does not get loaded.

I have a class in my /lib folder that my delayed_job daemon calls to work on an object of type Foo. If I don't have a "requires 'foo'" in the worker class then it doesn't know what to do with the YAML it gets from the DB and I get the "undefined method" error. Adding in "requires 'foo'" will obviously fix this, which is the usual solutio...

I am trying to run jruby -S rake db:migrate, but I do not want to start up a daemon in config/initializers whenever I do a migrate. Is there a way to do this? Up until now, I have just been moving the daemon file to a file with a .bak extension so that rails doesn't load it when I do the migrate. I suspect that this is a stupid way of ...
