Since it's handy to be able to debug the *writing* of this instance var
(particularly when checking state passed down to a child in
`Actor._from_parent()`), rename and wrap the underlying
`Actor._reg_addrs` as a settable `@property` and add validation to
the `.setter` for sanity - actor discovery is a critical functionality.
Other tweaks:
- fix `.cancel_soon()` to pass expected argument..
- update internal runtime error message to be simpler and link to GH issues.
- use new `Actor.reg_addrs` throughout core.
Tests that appropriate `Context` exit state, the relay of
a `ContextCancelled` error and its `.canceller: tuple[str, str]` value
are set when an inter-peer cancellation happens via an "out of band"
request method (in this case using `Portal.cancel_actor()` and that
cancellation is propagated "horizontally" to other peers. Verify that
any such cancellation scenario which also experiences an "error during
`ContextCancelled` handling" DOES NOT result in that further error being
suppressed and that the user's exception bubbles out of the
`Context.open_context()` block(s) appropriately!
Likely more tests to come as well as some factoring of the teardown
state checks where possible.
Pertains to serious testing the major work landing in #357
Specifically in the `.__aexit__()` phase to ensure remote,
runtime-internal, and locally raised error-during-cancelled-handling
exceptions are NEVER masked by a local `ContextCancelled` or any
exception group of `trio.Cancelled`s.
Also adds a ton of details to doc strings including extreme detail
surrounding the `ContextCancelled` raising cases and their processing
inside `.open_context()`'s exception handler blocks.
Details, details:
- internal rename `err`/`_err` stuff to just be `scope_err` since it's
effectively the error bubbled up from the context's surrounding (and
cross-actor) "scope".
- always shield `._recv_chan.aclose()` to avoid any `Cancelled` from
masking the `scope_err` with a runtime related `trio.Cancelled`.
- explicitly catch the specific set of `scope_err: BaseException` that
we can reasonably expect to handle instead of the catch-all parent
type including exception groups, cancels and KBIs.
Well first off, turns out it's never used and generally speaking
doesn't seem to help much with "runtime hacking/debugging"; why would
we need to "fabricate" a msg when `.cancel()` is called to self-cancel?
Also (and since `._maybe_cancel_and_set_remote_error()` now takes an
`error: BaseException` as input and thus expects error-msg unpacking
prior to being called), we now manually set `Context._cancel_msg: dict`
just prior to any remote error assignment - so any case where we would
have fabbed a "cancel msg" near calling `.cancel()`, just do the manual
assign.
In this vein some other subtle changes:
- obviously don't set `._cancel_msg` in `.cancel()` since it's no longer
an input.
- generally do walrus-style `error := unpack_error()` before applying
and setting remote error-msg state.
- always raise any `._remote_error` in `.result()` instead of returning
the exception instance and check before AND after the underlying mem
chan read.
- add notes/todos around `raise self._remote_error from None` masking of
(runtime) errors in `._maybe_raise_remote_err()` and use it inside
`.result()` since we had the inverse duplicate logic there anyway..
Further, this adds and extends a ton of (internal) interface docs and
details comments around the `Context` API including many subtleties
pertaining to calling `._maybe_cancel_and_set_remote_error()`.
Bump type annotations to 3.10+ style throughout module as well as fill
out doc strings a bit. Inside `unpack_error()` pop any `error_dict: dict`
and,
- return `None` early if not found,
- versus pass directly as `**error_dict` to the error constructor
instead of a double field read.
Since both `MsgStream.receive()` and `.receive_nowait()` need the same
raising logic when a non-stream msg arrives (so that maybe an
appropriate IPC translated error can be raised) move the `KeyError`
handler code into a new `._streaming._raise_from_no_yield_msg()` func
and call it from both methods to make the error-interface-raising
symmetrical across both methods.
Previously we weren't raising a remote error if the local scope was
cancelled during a call to `Context.result()` which is problematic if
the caller WAS NOT the requester for said remote cancellation; in that
case we still want a `ContextCancelled` raised with the `.canceller:
str` set to the cancelling actor uid.
Further fix a naming bug where the (seemingly older) `._remote_err` was
being set to such an error instead of `._remote_error` XD
Implement it like you'd expect using simply a wrapping
`trio.CancelScope` which is itself shielded by the input `shield: bool`
B)
There's seemingly still some issues with the frame selection when the
REPL engages and not sure how to resolve it yet but at least this does
indeed work for practical purposes. Still needs a test obviously!
Move over relevant test from the "context semantics" test module which
was already verifying peer-caused-`ContextCancelled.canceller: tuple`
error info and propagation during an inter-peer cancellation scenario.
Also begin a more general set of inter-peer cancellation tests starting
with the simplest case where when a peer is cancelled the parent should
NOT get an "muted" `trio.Cancelled` and instead
a `tractor.ContextCancelled` with a `.canceller: tuple` which points to
the sibling actor which requested the peer cancel.
Starting of with just a `typer` (and thus transitively `click`)
`typer.Typer.callback` hook which allows passthrough of the `--ll
<loglevel: str>` and `--pdb <debug_mode: bool>` flags for use when
building CLIs that use the runtime Bo
Still needs lotsa refinement and obviously better docs but, the doc
string for `load_runtime_vars()` shows how to use the underlying
`.devx._debug.open_crash_handler()` via a wrapper that can be passed the
`--pdb` flag and then enable debug mode throughout the entire actor
system.
Where `.devx` is "developer experience", a hopefully broad enough subpkg
name for all the slick stuff planned to augment working on the actor
runtime 💥
Move the `._debug` module into the new subpkg and adjust rest of core
code base to reflect import path change. Also add a new
`.devx._debug.open_crash_handler()` manager for wrapping any sync code
outside a `trio.run()` which is handy for eventual CLI addons for
popular frameworks like `click`/`typer`.
Since we'd like to eventually allow a diverse set of transport
(protocol) methods and stacks, and a multi-peer discovery system for
distributed actor-tree applications, this reworks all runtime internals
to support multi-homing for any given tree on a logical host. In other
words any actor can now bind its transport server (currently only
unsecured TCP + `msgspec`) to more then one address available in its
(linux) network namespace. Further, registry actors (now dubbed
"registars" instead of "arbiters") can also similarly bind to multiple
network addresses and provide discovery services to remote actors via
multiple addresses which can now be provided at runtime startup.
Deats:
- adjust `._runtime` internals to use a `list[tuple[str, int]]` (and
thus pluralized) socket address sequence where applicable for transport
server socket binds, now exposed via `Actor.accept_addrs`:
- `Actor.__init__()` now takes a `registry_addrs: list`.
- `Actor.is_arbiter` -> `.is_registrar`.
- `._arb_addr` -> `._reg_addrs: list[tuple]`.
- always reg and de-reg from all registrars in `async_main()`.
- only set the global runtime var `'_root_mailbox'` to the loopback
address since normally all in-tree processes should have access to
it, right?
- `._serve_forever()` task now takes `listen_sockaddrs: list[tuple]`
- make `open_root_actor()` take a `registry_addrs: list[tuple[str, int]]`
and defaults when not passed.
- change `ActorNursery.start_..()` methods take `bind_addrs: list` and
pass down through the spawning layer(s) via the parent-seed-msg.
- generalize all `._discovery()` APIs to accept `registry_addrs`-like
inputs and move all relevant subsystems to adopt the "registry" style
naming instead of "arbiter":
- make `find_actor()` support batched concurrent portal queries over
all provided input addresses using `.trionics.gather_contexts()` Bo
- syntax: move to using `async with <tuples>` 3.9+ style chained
@acms.
- a general modernization of the code to a python 3.9+ style.
- start deprecation and change to "registry" naming / semantics:
- `._discovery.get_arbiter()` -> `.get_registry()`
We were using a `all(<yielded values>)` condition which obviously won't
work if the batched managers yield any non-truthy value. So instead see
the `unwrapped: dict` with the `id(mngrs)` and only unblock once all
values have been filled in to be something that is not that value.
Detect if the input ref is a non-func (like an `object` instance) in
which case grab its type name using `type()`. Wrap all the name-getting
into a new `_mk_fqpn()` static meth: gets the "fully qualified path
name" and returns path and name in tuple; port other methds to use it.
Refine and update the docs B)
For whatever reason pdb(p), and in general, will show the frame of the
*next* python instruction/LOC on initial entry (at least using
`.set_trace()`), as such remove the `try/finally` block in the sync
code entrypoint `.pause_from_sync()`, and also since doesn't seem like
we really need it anyway.
Further, and to this end:
- enable hidden frames support in our default config.
- fix/drop/mask all the frame ref-ing/mangling we had prior since it's no
longer needed as well as manual `Lock` releasing which seems to work
already by having the `greenback` spawned task do it's normal thing?
- move to no `Union` type annots.
- hide all frames that can add "this is the runtime confusion" to
traces.
