server side analytics not working from Heroku

[calvinfo]

that's really odd! how are you running your servers on heroku? there shouldn't be anything about heroku which is blocking the requests, and we've had other users use it successfully.

if you're use a proxy which forks the process like passenger or unicorn, you'll need to initialize in the post_fork section of your config.

Hey Calvin, yes that was exactly it! Here's my unicorn.rb, it works just fine...

require 'analytics-ruby'

worker_processes Integer(ENV["WEB_CONCURRENCY"] || 3)
timeout 15
preload_app true

before_fork do |server, worker|
  Signal.trap 'TERM' do
    puts 'Unicorn master intercepting TERM and sending myself QUIT instead'
    Process.kill 'QUIT', Process.pid
  end

  defined?(ActiveRecord::Base) and
    ActiveRecord::Base.connection.disconnect!
end

after_fork do |server, worker|
  Signal.trap 'TERM' do
    puts 'Unicorn worker intercepting TERM and doing nothing. Wait for master to send QUIT'
  end

  defined?(ActiveRecord::Base) and
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection

  if defined? AnalyticsRuby
    Analytics = AnalyticsRuby
    Analytics.init({ secret: Rails.application.secrets.segment_io_key,
                     on_error: Proc.new { |status, msg| print msg }
                   })
  end
end
