Such that maybe we can eventually offer a nicer higher-level API which
implements much of the boilerplate required by `msgspec` (like
type-matched branching to serialization logic) via a type-table
interface or something?
Not sure if the idea is that useful so leaving it all as TODOs for now
obviously.
Ensuring we can at least use `breakpoint()` from an infected actor's
`asyncio.Task` spawned via a `.to_asyncio` API.
Also includes a little `tests/devx/` reorging,
- start splitting out non-`tractor.pause()` tests into a new
`test_pause_from_non_trio.py` for all the `.pause_from_sync()`
use in bg-threaded or `asyncio` applications.
- factor harness commonalities to the `devx/conftest` (namely
the `do_ctlc()` masher).
- mv `test_pause_from_sync` to the new non`-trio` mod.
NOTE, the `ctlc=True` is still failing for
`test_pause_from_asyncio_task` which is a user-happiness bug but not
anything fundamentally broken - just need to handle the `asyncio` case
in `.devx._debug.sigint_shield()`!
Mostly fixing edge cases with `asyncio` and/or bg threads where the
`.repl_release: trio.Event` needs to be used from the main `trio`
thread OW confusing-but-valid teardown tracebacks can show under various
races.
Also improve,
- log reporting for such internal bugs to make them more obvious on
console via `log.exception()`.
- only restore the SIGINT handler when runtime is (still) active.
- reporting when `tractor.pause(shield=True)` should be used and
unhiding the internal frames from the tb in that case.
- for `pause_from_sync()` some deep fixes..
|_add a `allow_no_runtime: bool = False` flag to allow
**not** requiring the actor runtime to be active.
|_fix the `greenback` case-branch to only trigger on `not
is_trio_thread`.
|_add a scope-global `repl_owner: Task|Thread|None = None` to
avoid ref errors..
As in whenever `Context.cancel()` is not (runtime internally) called
(i.e. `._cancel_called` is not set), we can attempt to detect the parent
`trio` nursery/cancel-scope that is the source. Emit the report with
a `.cancel()` level and attempt to repr in "sclang" form as well as
unhide the stack frame for debug/traceback-in.
Various `try`/`except` blocks around external APIs that raise when not
running inside an `tractor` and/or some async framework (mostly to avoid
too-late/benign error tbs on certain classes of actor tree teardown):
- for the `log.pdb()` prompts emitted before REPL console entry.
- inside `DebugStatus.is_main_trio_thread()`'s call to `sniffio`.
- in `_post_mortem()` by catching `NoRuntime` when called from a thread
still active after the `.open_root_actor()` has already exited.
Also,
- create a dedicated `DebugStateError` for raising instead of `assert`s
when we have actual debug-request inconsistencies (as seem to be most
likely with bg thread usage of `breakpoint()`).
- show the `open_crash_handler()` frame on `bdb.BdbQuit` (for now?)
Since it seems that `pdbp.xpm()` can sometimes lose the up-stack
traceback info/frames? Not sure why but ours seems to work just fine
from a `asyncio`-handler in `modden`'s use of `i3ipc` B)
Also call `DebugStatus.shield_sigint()` from `pause_from_sync()` in the
infected-`asyncio` case to get the same shielding behaviour as in all
other usage!
Mostly due to magic from @oremanj where we slap in a little bit of
`.from_asyncio`-type stuff to run a `trio`-task from `asyncio.Task`
code!
I'm not gonna go into tooo too much detail but basically the primary
thing needed was a way to (blocking-ly) invoke a `trio.lowlevel.Task`
from an `asyncio` one (which we now have with a new
`run_trio_task_in_future()` thanks to draft code from the aforementioned
jefe) which we now invoke from a dedicated aio case-branch inside
`.devx._debug.pause_from_sync()`. Further include a case inside
`DebugStatus.release()` to handle using the same func to set the
`repl_release: trio.Event` from the aio side when releasing the REPL on
exit cmds.
Prolly more refinements to come ;{o
It was expecting `AssertionError` as a proceed-in-test signal (by
breaking from a continue loop), but `in_prompt_msg(raise_on_err=True)`
was changed to raise `ValueError`; so instead just use as a predicate
for the `break`.
Also rework `in_prompt_msg()` to accept the `child: BaseSpawn` as input
instead of `before: str` remove the casting boilerplate, and adjust all
usage to match.
Just like we've started doing throughout the rest of the actor runtime
for reporting (and where "sclang" = "structured conc (s)lang", our
little supervision-focused operations syntax i've been playing with in
log msg content).
Further tweaks:
- report the `trio_done_fute` alongside the `main_outcome` value.
- add a todo list for supporting `greenback` for pause points.
The reason for this "duplication" with the `--asyncio` CLI flag (passed
to the child during spawn) is 2-fold:
- allows verifying inside `Actor._from_parent()` that the `trio` runtime was
started via `.start_guest_run()` as well as if the
`Actor._infected_aio` spawn-entrypoint value has been set (by the
`._entry.<spawn-backend>_main()` whenever `--asyncio` is passed)
such that any mismatch can be signaled via an `InternalError`.
- enables checking the `._state._runtime_vars['_is_infected_aio']` value
directly (say from a non-actor/`trio`-thread) instead of calling
`._state.current_actor(err_on_no_runtime=False)` in certain edge
cases.
Impl/testing deats:
- add `._state._runtime_vars['_is_infected_aio'] = False` default.
- raise `InternalError` on any `--asyncio`-flag-passed vs.
`_runtime_vars`-value-relayed-from-parent inside
`Actor._from_parent()` and include a `Runner.is_guest` assert for good
measure B)
- set and relay `infect_asyncio: bool` via runtime-vars to child in
`ActorNursery.start_actor()`.
- verify `actor.is_infected_aio()`, `actor._infected_aio` and
`_state._runtime_vars['_is_infected_aio']` are all set in test suite's
`asyncio_actor()` endpoint.
By re-purposing our `pexpect`-based console matching with a new
`debugging/shield_hang_in_sub.py` example, this tests a few "hanging
actor" conditions more formally:
- that despite a hanging actor's task we can dump
a `stackscope.extract()` tree on relay of `SIGUSR1`.
- the actor tree will terminate despite a shielded forever-sleep by our
"T-800" zombie reaper machinery activating and hard killing the
underlying subprocess.
Some test deats:
- simulates the expect actions of a real user by manually using
`os.kill()` to send both signals to the actor-tree program.
- `pexpect`-matches against `log.devx()` emissions under normal
`debug_mode == True` usage.
- ensure we get the actual "T-800 deployed" `log.error()` msg and
that the actor tree eventually terminates!
Surrounding (re-org/impl/test-suite) changes:
- allow disabling usage via a `maybe_enable_greenback: bool` to
`open_root_actor()` but enable by def.
- pretty up the actual `.devx()` content from `.devx._stackscope`
including be extra pedantic about the conc-primitives for each signal
event.
- try to avoid double handles of `SIGUSR1` even though it seems the
original (what i thought was a) problem was actually just double
logging in the handler..
|_ avoid double applying the handler func via `signal.signal()`,
|_ use a global to avoid double handle func calls and,
|_ a `threading.RLock` around handling.
- move common fixtures and helper routines from `test_debugger` to
`tests/devx/conftest.py` and import them for use in both test mods.
The final issue was making sure we do the same thing on ctl-c/SIGINT
from the user. That is, if there's already a bg-thread in REPL, we
`log.pdb()` about SIGINT shielding and re-draw the prompt; the same UX
as normal actor-runtime-task behaviour.
Reasons this wasn't workin.. and the fix:
- `.pause_from_sync()` was overriding the local `repl` var with `None`
delivered by (transitive) calls to `_pause(debug_func=None)`.. so
remove all that and only assign it OAOO prior to thread-type case
branching.
- always call `DebugStatus.shield_sigint()` as needed from all requesting
threads/tasks:
- in `_pause_from_bg_root_thread()` BEFORE calling `._pause()` AND BEFORE
yielding back to the bg-thread via `.started(out)` to ensure we're
definitely overriding the handler in the `trio`-main-thread task
before unblocking the requesting bg-thread.
- from any requesting bg-thread in the root actor such that both its
main-`trio`-thread scheduled task (as per above bullet) AND it are
SIGINT shielded.
- always call `.shield_sigint()` BEFORE any `greenback._await()` case
don't entirely grok why yet, but it works)?
- for `greenback._await()` case always set `bg_task` to the current one..
- tweaks to the `SIGINT` handler, now renamed `sigint_shield()` so as
not to name-collide with the methods when editor-searching:
- always try to `repr()` the REPL thread/task "owner" as well as the
active `PdbREPL` instance.
- add `.devx()` notes around the prompt flushing deats and comments
for any root-actor-bg-thread edge cases.
Related/supporting refinements:
- add `get_lock()`/`get_debug_req()` factory funcs since the plan is to
eventually implement both as `@singleton` instances per actor.
- fix `acquire_debug_lock()`'s call-sig-bug for scheduling
`request_root_stdio_lock()`..
- in `._pause()` only call `mk_pdb()` when `debug_func != None`.
- add some todo/warning notes around the `cls.repl = None` in
`DebugStatus.release()`
`test_pause_from_sync()` tweaks:
- don't use a `attach_patts.copy()`, since we always `break` on match.
- do `pytest.fail()` on that ^ loop's fallthrough..
- pass `do_ctlc(child, patt=attach_key)` such that we always match the
the current thread's name with the ctl-c triggered `.pdb()` emission.
- oh yeah, return the last `before: str` from `do_ctlc()`.
- in the script, flip `abandon_on_cancel=True` since when `False` it
seems to cause `trio.run()` to hang on exit from the last bg-thread
case?!?
There's a been a todo for soo long for this XD
Since all `Actor`'s store a set of `._peers` we can try a lookup on that
table as a shortcut before pinging the registry Bo
Impl deats:
- add a new `._discovery.get_peer_by_name()` routine which attempts the
`._peers` lookup by combining a copy of that `dict` + an entry added
for `Actor._parent_chan` (since all subs have a parent and often the
desired contact is just that connection).
- change `.find_actor()` (for the `only_first == True` case),
`.query_actor()` and `.wait_for_actor()` to call the new helper and
deliver appropriate outputs if possible.
Other,
- deprecate `get_arbiter()` def and all usage in tests and examples.
- drop lingering use of `arbiter_sockaddr` arg to various routines.
- tweak the `Actor` doc str as well as some code fmting and a tweak to
the `._stream_handler()`'s initial `con_status: str` logging value
since the way it was could never be reached.. oh and `.warning()` on
any new connections which already have a `_pre_chan: Channel` entry in
`._peers` so we can start minimizing IPC duplications.
In the `drain_to_final_msg()` impl, since a stream terminating
gracefully requires this msg, there's really no reason to `log.cancel()`
about it; go `.runtime()` level instead since we're trying de-noise
under "normal operation".
Also,
- passthrough `hide_tb` to taskc-handler's `ctx.maybe_raise()` call.
- raise `MessagingError` for the `MsgType` unmatched `case _:`.
- detail the doc string motivation a little more.
In `lock_stdio_for_peer()` better internal-error handling/reporting:
- only `Lock._blocked.remove(ctx.cid)` if that same cid was added on
entry to avoid needless key-errors.
- drop all `Lock.release(force: bool)` usage remnants.
- if `req_ctx.cancel()` fails mention it with `ctx_err.add_note()`.
- add more explicit internal-failed-request log messaging via a new
`fail_reason: str`.
- use and use new `x)<=\n|_` annots in any failure logging.
Other cleanups/niceties:
- drop `force: bool` flag entirely from the `Lock.release()`.
- use more supervisor-op-annots in `.pdb()` logging
with both `_pause/crash_msg: str` instead of double '|' lines when
`.pdb()`-reported from `._set_trace()`/`._post_mortem()`.
As per a WIP scribbled out TODO in `._entry.nest_from_op()`, change
a bunch of "supervisor/lifetime mgmt ops" related log messages to
contain some supervisor-annotation "headers" in an effort to give
a terser "visual indication" of how some execution/scope/storage
primitive entity (like an actor/task/ctx/connection) is being operated
on (like, opening/started/closed/cancelled/erroring) from a "supervisor
action" POV.
Also tweak a bunch more emissions to lower levels to reduce noise around
normal inter-actor operations like process and IPC ctx supervision.
To avoid showing lowlevel details of exception handling around the
underlying call to `return await self._ctx._pld_rx.recv_pld(ipc=self)`,
any time a `RemoteActorError` is unpacked (an raised locally) we re-raise
it directly from the captured `src_err` captured so as to present to
the user/app caller-code an exception raised directly from the `.receive()`
frame. This simplifies traceback call-stacks for any `log.exception()`
or `pdb`-REPL output filtering out the lower `PldRx` frames by default.
Since it was all ad-hoc defined inside
`._ipc.MsgpackTCPStream._iter_pkts()` more or less, this starts
formalizing a way for particular transport backends to indicate whether
a disconnect condition should be re-raised in the RPC msg loop and if
not what log level to report it at (if any).
Based on our lone transport currently we try to suppress any logging
noise from ephemeral connections expected during normal actor
interaction and discovery subsys ops:
- any short lived discovery related TCP connects are only logged as
`.transport()` level.
- both `.error()` and raise on any underlying `trio.ClosedResource`
cause since that normally means some task touched transport layer
internals that it shouldn't have.
- do a `.warning()` on anything else unexpected.
Impl deats:
- extend the `._exceptions.TransportClosed` to accept an input log
level, raise-on-report toggle and custom reporting & raising via a new
`.report_n_maybe_raise()` method.
- construct the TCs with inputs per case in (the newly named) `._iter_pkts().
- call ^ this method from the `TransportClosed` handler block inside the
RPC msg loop thus delegating reporting levels and/or raising to the
backend's per-case TC instantiating.
Related `._ipc` changes:
- mask out all the `MsgpackTCPStream._codec` debug helper stuff and drop
any lingering cruft from the initial proto-ing of msg-codecs.
- rename some attrs/methods:
|_`MsgpackTCPStream._iter_packets()` -> `._iter_pkts()` and
`._agen` -> `_aiter_pkts`.
|_`Channel._aiter_recv()` -> `._aiter_msgs()` and
`._agen` -> `_aiter_msgs`.
- add `hide_tb: bool` support to `Channel.send()` and only show the
frame on non-MTEs.
- allow passing and report the lib name (`trio` or `tractor`) from
`maybe_open_nursery()`.
- use `.runtime()` level when reporting `_Cache`-hits in
`maybe_open_context()`.
- tidy up some doc strings.
In case the struct doesn't import a field type (which will cause the
`.pformat()` to raise) just report the issue and try to fall back to the
original `repr()` version.
It's too fragile to put in side core RPC machinery since
`msgspec.Struct` defs can fail if a field type can't be
looked up at creation time (like can easily happen if you
conditionally import using `if TYPE_CHECKING:`)
Also,
- rename `cs` to `rpc_ctx_cs: CancelScope` since it's literally
the wrapping RPC `Context._scope`.
- report self cancellation via `explain: str` and add tail case for
"unknown cause".
- put a ?TODO? around what to do about KBIs if a context is opened
from an `infected_aio`-actor task.
- similar to our nursery and portal add TODO list for moving all
`_invoke_non_context()` content out the RPC core and instead implement
them as `.hilevel` endpoint helpers (maybe as decorators?)which under
neath define `@context`-funcs.
Log-report the different types of actor exit conditions including cancel
via KBI, error or normal return with varying levels depending on case.
Also, start proto-ing out this weird ascii-syntax idea for describing
conc system states and implement the first bit in a `nest_from_op()`
log-message fmter that joins and indents an obj `repr()` with
a tree-like `'>)\n|_'` header.
Since we more or less require it for `tractor.pause_from_sync()` this
refines enable toggles and their relay down the actor tree as well as
more explicit logging around init and activation.
Tweaks summary:
- `.info()` report the module if discovered during root boot.
- use a `._state._runtime_vars['use_greenback']: bool` activation flag
inside `Actor._from_parent()` to determine if the sub should try to
use it and set to `False` if mod-loading fails / not installed.
- expose `maybe_init_greenback()` from `.devx` sugpkg.
- comment out RTE in `._pause()` for now since we already have it in
`.pause_from_sync()`.
- always `.exception()` on `maybe_init_greenback()` import errors to
clarify the underlying failure deats.
- always explicitly report if `._state._runtime_vars['use_greenback']`
was NOT set when `.pause_from_sync()` is called.
Other `._runtime.async_main()` adjustments:
- combine the "internal error call ur parents" message and the failed
registry contact status into one new `err_report: str`.
- drop the final exception handler's call to
`Actor.lifetime_stack.close()` since we're already doing it in the
`finally:` block and the earlier call has no currently known benefit.
- only report on the `.lifetime_stack()` callbacks if any are detected
as registered.
Not sure how I forgot this but, obviously it's correct context-var
semantics to revert the current IPC `Context` (set in the latest
`.open_context()` block) such that any prior instance is reset..
This ensures the sanity `assert`s pass inside
`.msg._ops.maybe_limit_plds()` and just in general ensures for any task
that the last opened `Context` is the one returned from
`current_ipc_ctx()`.
