ruby - Redis publish in rails 4 stops server thread -

sorry english, i'm newbie.

trying use redis.publish feature rails 4 , redis gem push messages sse.

i have block in controller

logger.info "test1" $redis.publish "user", "test" logger.info "test2"

where $redis -

$redis = redis.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 6379, :db => 1,:timeout => 0)

in initializer.

server console in production print

i, [2013-08-07t22:34:50.138232 #4679]  info -- : test1

and nothing. request working, thread stops.

by way, $redis.publish "user", "test" @ rails_env=production rails console run , message appear @ client.

can me?

upd: ruby 2.0-p247, rails 4, redis 3.0.4

don't use 1 connection in initializer subscribe , publish both.

i created 2 connections, 1 subscribe in sse writer, 1 in controllers publish, , working normally.
