Makes the broadcast test suite not hang xD, and is our expected default
behaviour. Also removes a ton of commented legacy cruft from before the
refactor to remove the `.receive()` recursion and fixes some typing.
Oh right, and in the case where there's only one subscriber left we warn
log about it since in theory we could actually entirely unwind the
bcaster back to the original underlying, though not sure if that's sane
or works for some use cases (like wanting to have some other subscriber
get added dynamically later).
Since one-way streaming can be accomplished by just *not* sending on one
side (and/or thus wrapping such usage in a more restrictive API), we
just drop the recv-only parent type. The only method different was
`MsgStream.send()`, now merged in. Further in usage of `.subscribe()`
we monkey patch the underlying stream's `.send()` onto the delivered
broadcast receiver so that subscriber tasks can two-way stream as though
using the stream directly.
This allows us to more definitively drop `tractor.open_stream_from()` in
the longer run if we so choose as well; note currently this will
potentially create an issue if a caller tries to `.send()` on such a one
way stream.
Driven by a bug found in `piker` where we'd get an inf recursion error
due to `BroadcastReceiver.receive()` being called when consumer tasks
are awoken but no value is ready to `.nowait_receive()`.
This new rework takes an approach closer to the interface and internals
of `trio.MemoryReceiveChannel` particularly in terms of,
- implementing a `BroadcastReceiver.receive_nowait()` and using it
within the async `.receive()`.
- failing over to an internal `._receive_from_underlying()` when the
`_nowait()` call raises `trio.WouldBlock`.
- adding `BroadcastState.statistics()` for debugging and testing
dropping recursion from `.receive()`.
We weren't doing this originally I *think* just because of the path
dependent nature of the way the code was developed (originally being
mega pedantic about one-way vs. bidirectional streams) but, it doesn't
seem like there's any issue just calling the stream's `.aclose()`; also
have the benefit of just being less code and logic checks B)
With the new fancy `_pytest.pathlib.import_path()` we can do real
parametrization of the example-script-module code and thus configure
whether the child, parent, or both silently break the IPC connection.
Parametrize the test for all the above mentioned cases as well as the
case where the IPC never breaks but we still simulate the user hammering
ctl-c / SIGINT to terminate the actor tree. Adjust expected errors based
on each case and heavily document each of these.
Use a task nursery in the subactor to spawn tasks which cancel the IPC
channel mid stream to simulate the most concurrent case we're likely to
see. Make `main()` accept a `debug_mode: bool` for parametrization. Fill
out detailed comments/docs on this example.
When backpressure is used and a feeder mem chan breaks during msg
delivery (usually because the IPC allocating task already terminated)
instead of raising we simply warn as we do for the non-backpressure
case.
Also, add a proper `Actor.is_arbiter` test inside `._invoke()` to avoid
doing an arbiter-registry lookup if the current actor **is** the
registrar.
