Starling on Windows

[sam]

Hi All,

Does Starling work on Windows?

My development platform is WindowsXP and I am using starling-starling
(0.9.9) gem

Starling Server throws this error when I run this simple test.

>>>

E, [2008-12-16T14:18:24.159000 #1956] ERROR -- : Error handling
request: Bad file descriptor - /var/spool/starling/my_queue

<<

My test code is:

require 'starling'
starling = Starling.new('127.0.0.1:22122')
puts starling.inspect
starling.set('my_queue', 12345)
starling.get('my_queue')

Could some one please tell me why I get this error?

Is there something I am doing wrong here?

Does Starling work on Windows or should I move my development to
Linux?

Thanks much

Sam

I don't think it'll work, due to the non-blocking write issue that cropped up on the list not too long ago.  You can override the spool path with a command-line option (can't remember it off-hand), but that'll just get you further along.

You can run Starling inside a colinux instance (or a VM) and do the rest of your development in Windows..
