I been Using EventMachine for quite a while a know and I really found it great as It Manage show much more me that i didn’t have to worry for anything.But recently I just found this weird issue which i just fail to understand

Here what is just telling

I have Eventmachine loop Which look like this

 EventMachine::run {     
    EventMachine::add_periodic_timer(10) do
         EventMachine::defer(@operation_block,@callback_block)
    end
 }

here my operation block look like(Code below use of amqp using carrot gem)

@operation_block = Proc.new {
              begin   
              puts "Initiating the queue"
              @carrot ||= Carrot.new(:host => localhost)
              @queue ||= @carrot.queue("my_queue")
              puts "The Queue is Poping the message"

              if @queue.pop
                  [MY LOGIC HERE]
                  $input_to_callback = "SUCCESS" ## IF LOGIC GET EVALUATED WITHOUT ERROR ELSE WILL SET TO FAIL 
                else
                  $input_to_callback = "NOTHING TO PROCESSES"      
                end  
             rescue 
                puts e
                retry!   
             end    
             $input_to_callback 

          }

Here my callback block look like

@callback_block = Proc.new {|operation_block_output|
   if operation_block_output == "SUCCESS"
      puts "YAHOOOOOOOOO SUCCESS"
   elsif operation_block_output == "NOTHING TO PROCESSES"
      puts "BOO Nothing to processes"
   else  
      puts "FAIL ALARM"
   end      
 }

Now Here come the Trouble
The Code Though Work the way it should until something bad happen
Here what i meant

Now suppose I running this Above Code

I have a queue set name “my_queue” or it will create one if it doesn’t exists the queue is initially empty

here the output that I get on console

Initiating the queue

The Queue is Poping the Message

BOO Nothing to processes

As I message built the output Change in console accordingly based

Now the trouble

If I momentarily shutdown my AMQP server Here the output(to show what i meant)

Initiating the queue

Broken Pipe => Error That Caught in
begin rescue block in operation block

Now Start AMQP Server

The Code just never seem move ahead from line where it currently got error
that means I never Seem to print the line

The Queue is Poping the message

not only the current defer for which is retry happened but also the new defer operation block that get initiated after the Timer time just elapsed
i.e means of the subsequent call to operation block
never seem to move ahead and do processing and always print the following
output only

Initiating the queue

Just never seem to move ahead(stuck) and do Processing that it meant to i.e fetch the message from the queue do the processing accordingly and all the other stuff(as the AMQP server is running now)

Thanks
