Hi, I am learning ruby and writing my first non-trivial program and I'm
running into a few issues.
First of all, I am having problems getting threading to work consistently. I
am simply having the thread execute a code block which loads a YAML file
into a ruby object. The thread completes when the file is an empty file
(just a dash), but when the file has YAML code, the thread just never seems
to lock at that part of the code. When I join it later it does complete
properly. Here is the simple code example:
loadingthread = Thread.new('maps/currentmap.yml') { |filename|
puts "starting thread"
mapfile = File.open(filename)
puts "opened file"
amap = YAML::load(mapfile)
puts "generated object"
mapfile.close
puts "thread all done"
}
Any advice for a ruby-newbie would be appreciated :)
