electric_slide - play before connecting calls

[tal weissler]

Hello, 

I'm using electric_slide to create a queue and I would like to play something to the person about to leave the queue before he is connected to an agent.

I found the method on_connect:

• on_connect: Args: [Queue, Agent Call, Client Call] Called as the agent is being connected to the client call

which is defined in agent.rb:

def self.on_connect(&block)

@connect_callback = block

end

When I try to execute agent.class.on_connect {play "hello-world"} it crashes because <NoMethodError> undefined method `play' for #<ElectricSlide::Agent:0x00000003813488>

This happens because it's being implemented with instance_exec which takes the Agent's binding and not the lexical scope.

How can I play on the call received by the callback?

Thanks,

Tal

Hi, I think you should try something like this :

agent.class.on_connect do |queue,agent_call,client_call|
  client_call.execute_controller do
    play "hello-world"
  end
end

I don't know if this code works but the key concept is : you should execute a controller over the affected call to make it do something.

Let me know if this helps!

Hi,

Unfortunately, when I tried that it gave me this error:

<NoMethodError> undefined method `play' for #<Celluloid::ThreadHandle:0x000000049d6cd8>

However, I did manage to solve to problem this way:

1. In the class where I'm adding callers to the queue, I added:

    call[:controller] = self

2. Then in the class where I'm adding the agents:

    agent.class.on_connect do |queue, agent, client| 

      client[:controller].play "hello-world"

    end

that did the trick for me

Thanks,

Tal
