Rinda::RingFinger.primary broken on 1.9?

ruby-talk
1

The following code correctly errors (with RingNotFound) on Ruby 1.8.6
and 1.8.7, but hangs forever on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3:

  require 'rinda/ring'
  DRb.start_service
  Rinda::RingFinger.primary

This behavior is consistent on Windows 7 and Linux (both RH 5.6 and
CentOS 5.6). Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Hubert

Hi, Hubert-san.

Thank you for the report.
It's my bug.

Please try this patch:

require 'rinda/ring'

module Rinda
  class RingFinger
    def lookup_ring_any(timeout=5)
      queue = Queue.new

      th = Thread.new do
  self.lookup_ring(timeout) do |ts|
    queue.push(ts)
  end
  queue.push(nil)
      end

      @primary = queue.pop
      raise('RingNotFound') if @primary.nil?
      while it = queue.pop
        @rings.push(it)
      end

      @primary
    end
  end
end

DRb.start_service
Rinda::RingFinger.primary

It's a bug.
I fixed it in svn.
