Since I needed the `break_ipc()` helper from the
`examples/advanced_faults/ipc_failure_during_stream.py` used in the
`test_advanced_faults` suite, might as well move it into a pkg-wide
importable module. Also changed the default break method to be
`socket_close` which just calls `Stream.socket.close()` underneath in
`trio`.
Also tweak that example to not keep sending after the stream has been
broken since with new `trio` that will raise `ClosedResourceError` and
in the wrapping test we generally speaking want to see a hang and then
cancel via simulated user sent SIGINT/ctl-c.
Yes, this is "the switch" and will likely cause the test suite to bail
until a few more fixes some in.
Tweaked a couple `.msg` pkg exports:
- remove `__spec__` (used by modules) and change it to `__msg_types:
lists[Msg]` as well as add a new `__msg_spec__: TypeAlias`, being the
default `Any` paramed spec.
- tweak the naming of `msg.types` lists of runtime vs payload msgs to:
`._runtime_msgs` and `._payload_msgs`.
- just build `__msg_types__` out of the above 2 lists.
Since with my in-index runtime-port to our native msg-spec it seems
these ones are hanging B(
- `test_one_end_stream_not_opened()`
- `test_maybe_allow_overruns_stream()`
Tossing in some `trio.fail_after()`s seems to at least gnab them as
failures B)
Though the runtime hasn't been changed over in this patch (it was in the
local index at the time however), the test does now demonstrate that
using a `Started` the correctly typed `.pld` will codec correctly when
passed manually to `MsgCodec.encode/decode()`.
Despite not having the runtime ported to the new shuttle msg set
(meaning the mentioned test will fail without the runtime port patch),
I was able to get this first original test working that limits payload
packets as a `Msg.pld: NamespacePath`this as long as we spec
`enc/dec_hook()`s then the `Msg.pld` will be processed correctly as per:
https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/extending.html#mapping-to-from-native-types
in both the `Any` and `NamespacePath|None` spec cases.
^- turns out in this case -^ that the codec hooks only get invoked on
the unknown-fields NOT the entire `Struct`-msg.
A further gotcha was merging a `|None` into the `pld_spec` since this
test spawns a subactor and opens a context via `send_back_nsp()` and
that func has no explicit `return` - so of course it delivers
a `Return(pld=None)` which will fail if we only spec `NamespacePath`.
Since `contextvars.ContextVar` seems to reset to the default in every
new task, switching to using `trio.lowlevel.RunVar` kinda gets close to
what we'd like where a child scope can override what's in the rent but
ideally without modifying the rent's. I tried `tricycle.TreeVar` as well
but it also seems to reset across (embedded) nurseries in our runtime;
need to try it again bc apparently that's not how it's suppose to work?
NOTE that for now i'm keeping the `.msg.types._ctxvar_MsgCodec` set to
the `msgspec` default (`Any` types) so that the test suite will still
pass until the runtime is ported to the new msg-spec + codec.
Surrounding and in support of all this the `Msg`-set impl deats changed
a bit as well as various stuff in `.msg` sub-mods:
- drop the `.pld` struct types for `Error`, `Start`, `StartAck` since we
don't really need the `.pld` payload field in those cases since
they're runtime control msgs for starting RPC tasks and handling
remote errors; we can just put the fields directly on each msg since
the user will never want/need to override the `.pld` field type.
- add a couple new runtime msgs and include them in `msg.__spec__`
and make them NOT inherit from `Msg` since they are runtime-specific
and thus have no need for `.pld` type constraints:
- `Aid` the actor-id identity handshake msg.
- `SpawnSpec`: the spawn data passed from a parent actor down to a
a child in `Actor._from_parent()` for which we need a shuttle
protocol msg, so might as well make it a pendatic one ;)
- fix some `Actor.uid` field types that were type-borked on `Error`
- add notes about how we need built-in `debug_mode` msgs in order to
avoid msg-type errors when using the TTY lock machinery and
a different `.pld` spec then the default `Any` is in use..
-> since `devx._debug.lock_tty_for_child()` and it's client side
`wait_for_parent_stdin_hijack()` use `Context.started('Locked')`
and `MsgStream.send('pdb_unlock')` string values as their `.pld`
contents we'd need to either always do a `ipc_pld_spec | str` or
pre-define some dedicated `Msg` types which get `Union`-ed in
for this?
- break out `msg.pretty_struct.Struct._sin_props()` into a helper func
`iter_fields()` since the impl doesn't require a struct instance.
- as mentioned above since `ContextVar` didn't work as anticipated
I next tried `tricycle.TreeVar` but that too didn't seem to keep
the `apply_codec()` setting intact across
`Portal.open_context()`/`Context.open_stream()` (it kept reverting to
the default `.pld: Any` default setting) so I finalized on
a trio.lowlevel.RunVar` for now despite it basically being
a `global`..
-> will probably come back to test this with `TreeVar` and some hot
tips i picked up from @mikenerone in the `trio` gitter, which i put in
comments surrounding proto-code.
Only warn log on a non-`trio` async lib when in the main thread to
avoid a name error when in the non-`asyncio` non-main-thread case.
=> To cherry into the `.pause_from_sync()` feature branch.
Turns out the generics based payload speccing API, as in
https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/supported-types.html#generic-types,
DOES WORK properly as long as we don't rely on inheritance from `Msg`
a parent `Generic`..
So let's get real pedantic in the `mk_msg_spec()` internals as well as
verification in the test suite!
Fixes in `.msg.types`:
- implement (as part of tinker testing) multiple spec union building
methods via a `spec_build_method: str` to `mk_msg_spec()` and leave a
buncha notes around what did and didn't work:
- 'indexed_generics' is the only method THAT WORKS and the one that
you'd expect being closest to the `msgspec` docs (link above).
- 'defstruct' using dynamically defined msgs => doesn't work!
- 'types_new_class' using dynamically defined msgs but with
`types.new_clas()` => ALSO doesn't work..
- explicitly separate the `.pld` type-constrainable by user code msg
set into `types._payload_spec_msgs` putting the others in
a `types._runtime_spec_msgs` and the full set defined as `.__spec__`
(moving it out of the pkg-mod and back to `.types` as well).
- for the `_payload_spec_msgs` msgs manually make them inherit `Generic[PayloadT]`
and (redunantly) define a `.pld: PayloadT` field.
- make `IpcCtxSpec.functype` an in line `Literal`.
- toss in some TODO notes about choosing a better `Msg.cid` type.
Fixes/tweaks around `.msg._codec`:
- rename `MsgCodec.ipc/pld_msg_spec` -> `.msg/pld_spec`
- make `._enc/._dec` non optional fields
- wow, ^facepalm^ , make sure `._ipc.MsgpackTCPStream.__init__()` uses
`mk_codec()` since `MsgCodec` can't be (easily) constructed directly.
Get more detailed in testing:
- inside the `chk_pld_type()` helper ensure `roundtrip` is always set to
some value, `None` by default but a bool depending on legit outcome.
- drop input `generic`; no longer used.
- drop the masked `typedef` loop from `Msg.__subclasses__()`.
- for add an `expect_roundtrip: bool` and use to jump into debugger
when any expectation doesn't match the outcome.
- use new `MsgCodec` field names (as per first section above).
- ensure the encoded msg matches the decoded one from both the ad-hoc
decoder and codec loaded values.
- ensure the pld checking is only applied to msgs in the
`types._payload_spec_msgs` set by `typef.__name__` filtering
since `mk_msg_spec()` now returns the full `.types.Msg` set.
Mostly adjusting input args/logic to various spec/codec signatures and
new runtime semantics:
- `test_msg_spec_xor_pld_spec()` to verify that a shuttle prot spec and
payload spec are necessarily mutex and that `mk_codec()` enforces it.
- switch to `ipc_msg_spec` input in `mk_custom_codec()` helper.
- drop buncha commented cruft from `test_limit_msgspec()` including no
longer needed type union instance checks in dunder attributes.
Instead just instantiate `msgpack.Encoder/Decoder` instances inside
`mk_codec()` and assign them directly as `._enc/._dec` fields.
Explicitly take in named-args to both and proxy to the coder/decoder
instantiation calls directly.
Shuffling some codec internals:
- rename `mk_codec()` inputs as `ipc_msg_spec` and `ipc_pld_spec`, make
them mutex such that a payload type spec can't be passed if the
built-in msg-spec isn't used.
=> expose `MsgCodec.ipc_pld_spec` directly from `._dec.type`
=> presume input `ipc_msg_spec` is `Any` by default when no
`ipc_pld_spec` is passed since we have no way atm to enable
a similar type-restricted-payload feature without a wrapping
"shuttle protocol" ;)
- move all the payload-sub-decoders stuff prototyped in GH#311
(inside `.types`) to `._codec` as commented-for-later-maybe `MsgCodec`
methods including:
- `.mk_pld_subdec()` for registering
- `.enc/dec_payload()` for sub-codec field loading.
- also comment out `._codec.mk_tagged_union_dec()` as the orig
tag-to-decoder table factory, now mostly superseded by
`.types.mk_msg_spec()` which takes the generic parameterizing approach
instead.
- change naming to `types.mk_msg_spec(payload_type_union)` input, making
it more explicit that it expects a `Union[Type]`.
Oh right, and start exposing all the `.types.Msg` subtypes in the `.msg`
subpkg in prep for usage throughout the runtime B)
Re-arranging such that element-orders are line-arranged to our new
IPC `.msg.types.Msg` fields spec in prep for replacing the current
`dict`-as-msg impls with the `msgspec.Struct` native versions!
As per the long outstanding GH issue this starts our rigorous journey
into an attempt at a type-safe, cross-actor SC, IPC protocol Bo
boop -> https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/36
The idea is to "formally" define our SC "shuttle (dialog) protocol" by
specifying a new `.msg.types.Msg` subtype-set which can fully
encapsulate all IPC msg schemas needed in order to accomplish
cross-process SC!
The msg set deviated a little in terms of (type) names from the existing
`dict`-msgs currently used in the runtime impl but, I think the name
changes are much better in terms of explicitly representing the internal
semantics of the actor runtime machinery/subsystems and the
IPC-msg-dialog required for SC enforced RPC.
------ - ------
In cursory, the new formal msgs-spec includes the following msg-subtypes
of a new top-level `Msg` boxing type (that holds the base field schema
for all msgs):
- `Start` to request RPC task scheduling by passing a `FuncSpec` payload
(to replace the currently used `{'cmd': ... }` dict msg impl)
- `StartAck` to allow the RPC task callee-side to report a `IpcCtxSpec`
payload immediately back to the caller (currently responded naively via
a `{'functype': ... }` msg)
- `Started` to deliver the first value from `Context.started()`
(instead of the existing `{'started': ... }`)
- `Yield` to shuttle `MsgStream.send()`-ed values (instead of
our `{'yield': ... }`)
- `Stop` to terminate a `Context.open_stream()` session/block
(over `{'stop': True }`)
- `Return` to deliver the final value from the `Actor.start_remote_task()`
(which is a `{'return': ... }`)
- `Error` to box `RemoteActorError` exceptions via a `.pld: ErrorData`
payload, planned to replace/extend the current `RemoteActorError.msgdata`
mechanism internal to `._exceptions.pack/unpack_error()`
The new `tractor.msg.types` includes all the above msg defs as well an API
for rendering a "payload type specification" using a
`payload_type_spec: Union[Type]` that can be passed to
`msgspec.msgpack.Decoder(type=payload_type_spec)`. This ensures that
(for a subset of the above msg set) `Msg.pld: PayloadT` data is
type-parameterized using `msgspec`'s new `Generic[PayloadT]` field
support and thus enables providing for an API where IPC `Context`
dialogs can strictly define the allowed payload-datatype-set via type
union!
Iow, this is the foundation for supporting `Channel`/`Context`/`MsgStream`
IPC primitives which are type checked/safe as desired in GH issue:
- https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/365
Misc notes on current impl(s) status:
------ - ------
- add a `.msg.types.mk_msg_spec()` which uses the new `msgspec` support
for `class MyStruct[Struct, Generic[T]]` parameterize-able fields and
delivers our boxing SC-msg-(sub)set with the desired `payload_types`
applied to `.pld`:
- https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/supported-types.html#generic-types
- as a note this impl seems to need to use `type.new_class()` dynamic
subtype generation, though i don't really get *why* still.. but
without that the `msgspec.msgpack.Decoder` doesn't seem to reject
`.pld` limited `Msg` subtypes as demonstrated in the new test.
- around this ^ add a `.msg._codec.limit_msg_spec()` cm which exposes
this payload type limiting API such that it can be applied per task
via a `MsgCodec` in app code.
- the orig approach in https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/311 was
the idea of making payload fields `.pld: Raw` wherein we could have
per-field/sub-msg decoders dynamically loaded depending on the
particular application-layer schema in use. I don't want to lose the
idea of this since I think it might be useful for an idea I have about
capability-based-fields(-sharing, maybe using field-subset
encryption?), and as such i've kept the (ostensibly) working impls in
TODO-comments in `.msg._codec` wherein maybe we can add
a `MsgCodec._payload_decs: dict` table for this later on.
|_ also left in the `.msg.types.enc/decmsg()` impls but renamed as
`enc/dec_payload()` (but reworked to not rely on the lifo codec
stack tables; now removed) such that we can prolly move them to
`MsgCodec` methods in the future.
- add an unused `._codec.mk_tagged_union_dec()` helper which was
originally factored out the #311 proto-code but didn't end up working
as desired with the new parameterized generic fields approach (now
in `msg.types.mk_msg_spec()`)
Testing/deps work:
------ - ------
- new `test_limit_msgspec()` which ensures all the `.types` content is
correct but without using the wrapping APIs in `._codec`; i.e. using
a in-line `Decoder` instead of a `MsgCodec`.
- pin us to `msgspec>=0.18.5` which has the needed generic-types support
(which took me way too long yester to figure out when implementing all
this XD)!
Leave all the proto native struct-msg stuff in `.types` since i'm
thinking it's the right name for the mod that will hold all the built-in
SCIPP msgspecs longer run. Obvi the naive codec stack stuff needs to be
cleaned out/up and anything useful moved into `._codec` ;)
The greasy details are strewn throughout a `msgspec` issue:
https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/140
and specifically this code was mostly written as part of POC example in
this comment:
https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/140#issuecomment-1177850792
This work obviously pertains to our desire and prep for typed messaging
and capabilities aware msg-oriented-protocols in #196. I added a "wants
to have" method to `Context` showing how I think we could offer a pretty
neat msg-type-set-as-capability-for-protocol system.
XXX NOTE XXX: this commit was rewritten during a rebase from a very old
version as per the prior commit.
XXX NOTE XXX: this is a heavily modified commit from the original
(ec226463) which was super out of date when rebased onto the current
branch. I went through a manual conflict rework and removed all the
legacy segments as well as rename-moved this original mod
`tractor.msg.py` -> `tractor.msg/_old_msg.py`. Further the
`NamespacePath` type def was discarded from this mod since it was from
a super old version which was already moved to a `.msg.ptr` submod.
As per original questions and discussion with `msgspec` author:
- https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/25
- https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/140
this prototypes a new (but very naive) `msgspec.Struct` codec
implementation which will be more filled out in the next commit.
Fitting in line with the issues outstanding:
- #36: (msg)spec-ing out our SCIPP (structured-con-inter-proc-prot).
(https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/36)
- #196: adding strictly typed IPC msg dialog schemas, more or less
better described as "dialog/transaction scoped message specs"
using `msgspec`'s tagged unions and custom codecs.
(https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/196)
- #365: using modern static type-annots to drive capability based
messaging and RPC.
(statically https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/365)
This is a first draft of a new API for dynamically overriding IPC msg
codecs for a given interchange lib from any task in the runtime. Right
now we obviously only support `msgspec` but ideally this API holds
general enough to be used for other backends eventually (like
`capnproto`, and apache arrow).
Impl is in a new `tractor.msg._codec` with:
- a new `MsgCodec` type for encapsing `msgspec.msgpack.Encoder/Decoder`
pairs and configuring any custom enc/dec_hooks or typed decoding.
- factory `mk_codec()` for creating new codecs ad-hoc from a task.
- `contextvars` support for a new `trio.Task` scoped
`_ctxvar_MsgCodec: ContextVar[MsgCodec]` named 'msgspec_codec'.
- `apply_codec()` for temporarily modifying the above per task
as needed around `.open_context()` / `.open_stream()` operation.
A new test (suite) in `test_caps_msging.py`:
- verify a parent and its child can enable the same custom codec (in
this case to transmit `NamespacePath`s) with tons of pedantic ctx-vars
checks.
- ToDo: still need to implement #36 msg types in order to be able to get
decodes working (as in `MsgStream.receive()` will deliver an already
created `NamespacePath` obj) since currently all msgs come packed in `dict`-msg
wrapper packets..
-> use the proto from PR #35 to get nested `msgspec.Raw` processing up
and running Bo
By simply allowing an input `codec: tuple` of funcs for now to the
`MsgpackTCPStream` transport but, ideally wrapping this in a `Codec`
type with an API for dynamic extension of the interchange lib's msg
processing settings. Right now we're tied to `msgspec.msgpack` for this
transport but with the right design this can likely extend to other libs
in the future.
Relates to starting feature work toward #36, #196, #365.
It's **almost** there, we're just missing the final translation code to
get from an `asyncio` side task to be able to call
`.devx._debug..wait_for_parent_stdin_hijack()` to do root actor TTY
locking. Then we just need to ensure internals also do the right thing
with `greenback()` for equivalent sync `breakpoint()` style pause
points.
Since i'm deferring this until later, tossing in some xfail tests to
`test_infected_asyncio` with TODOs for the needed implementation as well
as eventual test org.
By "provision" it means we add:
- `greenback` init block to `_run_asyncio_task()` when debug mode is
enabled (but which will currently rte when `asyncio` is detected)
using `.bestow_portal()` around the `asyncio.Task`.
- a call to `_debug.maybe_init_greenback()` in the `run_as_asyncio_guest()`
guest-mode entry point.
- as part of `._debug.Lock.is_main_trio_thread()` whenever the async-lib
is not 'trio' error lock the backend name (which is obvi `'asyncio'`
in this use case).
In the particular case of the `Portal.open_context().__aexit__()` frame,
due to usage of `contextlib.asynccontextmanager`, we can't easily hook
into monkeypatching a `__tracebackhide__` set nor catch-n-reraise around
the block exit without defining our own `.__aexit__()` impl. Thus, it's
prolly most sane to do something with an override of
`contextlib._AsyncGeneratorContextManager` or the public exposed
`AsyncContextDecorator` (which uses the former internally right?).
Also fixup some old `._invoke` mod paths in comments and just show
`str(eoc)` in `.open_stream().__aexit__()` terminated-by-EoC log msg
since the `repr()` form won't pprint the IPC msg nicely..
Change the name to `Lock.is_main_trio_thread()` indicating that when
`True` the thread is both the main one **and** the one that called
`trio.run()`. Add a todo for just copying the
`trio._util.is_main_thread()` impl (since it's private / may change) and
some brief notes about potential usage of
`trio.from_thread.check_cancelled()` to detect non-`.to_thread` thread
spawns.
Now supports use from any `trio` task, any sync thread started with
`trio.to_thread.run_sync()` AND also via `breakpoint()` builtin API!
The only bit missing now is support for `asyncio` tasks when in infected
mode.. Bo
`greenback` setup/API adjustments:
- move `._rpc.maybe_import_gb()` to -> `devx._debug` and factor out the cached
import checking into a sync func whilst placing the async `.ensure_portal()`
bootstrapping into a new async `maybe_init_greenback()`.
- use the new init-er func inside `open_root_actor()` with the output
predicating whether we override the `breakpoint()` hook.
core `devx._debug` implementation deatz:
- make `mk_mpdb()` only return the `pdp.Pdb` subtype instance since
the sigint unshielding func is now accessible from the `Lock`
singleton from anywhere.
- add non-main thread support (at least for `trio.to_thread` use cases)
to our `Lock` with a new `.is_trio_thread()` predicate that delegates
directly to `trio`'s internal version.
- do `Lock.is_trio_thread()` checks inside any methods which require
special provisions when invoked from a non-main `trio` thread:
- `.[un]shield_sigint()` methods since `signal.signal` usage is only
allowed from cpython's main thread.
- `.release()` since `trio.StrictFIFOLock` can only be called from
a `trio` task.
- rework `.pause_from_sync()` itself to directly call `._set_trace()`
and don't bother with `greenback._await()` when we're already calling
it from a `.to_thread.run_sync()` thread, oh and try to use the
thread/task name when setting `Lock.local_task_in_debug`.
- make it an RTE for now if you try to use `.pause_from_sync()` from any
infected-`asyncio` task, but support is (hopefully) coming soon!
For testing we add a new `test_debugger.py::test_pause_from_sync()`
which includes a ctrl-c parametrization around the
`examples/debugging/sync_bp.py` script which includes all currently
supported/working usages:
- `tractor.pause_from_sync()`.
- via `breakpoint()` overload.
- from a `trio.to_thread.run_sync()` spawn.
This is what was breaking the nested debugger test (where it was failing
on the traceback content matching) and it makes sense.. XD
=> We always want to use the locally boxed `RemoteActorError`'s
traceback content NOT overwrite it with that from the src actor..
Also gets rid of setting the `'relay_uid'` since it's pulled from the
final element in the `'relay_path'` anyway.
Use new `RemoteActorError` fields in various assertions particularly
ensuring that an RTE relayed through the spawner from the little_bro
shows up at the client with the right number of entries in the
`.relay_path` and that the error is raised in the client as desired in
the original use case from `modden`'s remote spawn spawn request API
(which was kinda the whole original motivation to finally get all this
multi-actor error relay stuff workin).
Case extensions:
- RTE relayed from little_bro through spawner to client when
`raise_sub_spawn_error_after` is set; in this case test should raise
the relayed and RAE boxed RTE right up to the `trio.run()`.
-> ensure the `rae.src_uid`, `.relay_uid` are set correctly.
-> ensure ctx cancels are no acked.
- use `expect_ctxc()` around root's `tell_little_bro()` usage.
- do `debug_mode` assertions when enabled by test harness in each actor
layer.
- obvi use new `.src_type`/`.boxed_type` for final error propagation
assertions.
More or less just simplifies to not seeing the stream closure errors and
instead expecting KBIs from the simulated user who 'ctl-cs after hang'.
Toss in a little `stuff_hangin_ctlc()` to the script to wrap all that
and always check stream closure before sending the final KBI.
I swear long ago it used to operate this way but, I guess this finalizes
the design decision. It makes a lot more sense to *not* propagate any
`trio.EndOfChannel` raised from a `Context.open_stream() as stream:`
block when that EoC is due to graceful-explicit stream termination.
We use the EoC much like a `StopAsyncIteration` where the error
indicates termination of the stream due to either:
- reception of a stop IPC msg indicating the far end ended the stream
(gracecfully),
- closure of the underlying `Context._recv_chan` either by the runtime
or due to user code having called `MsgStream.aclose()`.
User code shouldn't expect to handle EoC outside the block since the
`@acm` having closed should indicate the exactly same lifetime state
(of said stream) ;)
Deats:
- add special EoC handler in `.open_stream()` which silently "absorbs"
the error only when the stream is already marked as closed (meaning
the EoC indeed corresponds to IPC closure) with an assert for now
ensuring the error is the same as set to `MsgStream._eoc`.
- in `MsgStream.receive()` break up the handlers for EoC and
`trio.ClosedResourceError` since the error instances are saved to
different variables and we **don't** want to rewrite the exception in
the eoc case (normally to mask `trio` internals in tbs) bc we need the
instance to be the exact one for doing checks inside
`.open_stream().__aexit__()` to absorb it.
Other surrounding "improvements":
- start using the new `Context.maybe_raise()` helper where it can easily
replace existing equivalent block-sections.
- use new `RemoteActorError.src_uid` as required.
The misname of `._boxed_type` as `._src_type` was only manifesting as
a reallly strange boxing error with a packed exception-group, not sure
how or why only that but it's fixed now XD
Start refining/cleaning out stuff for sure we don't need (based on
multiple local test runs):
- discard `.src_actor_uid` fully since test set has been moved over to
`.src_uid`; this means also removing the `.msgdata` insertion from
`pack_error()`; a patch to all internals is coming next obvi!
- don't pass `boxed_type` to `RemoteActorError.__init__()` from
`unpack_error()` since it's now set directly via the
`.msgdata["boxed_type_str"]`/`error_msg: dict` input , but in the case
where **it is passed as an arg** (only for ctxc in `._rpc._invoke()`
rn) make sure we only do the `.__init__()` insert when `boxed_type is
not None`.
Since adding more complex inter-peer (actor) testing scenarios, we
definitely have an immediate need for `trio`'s style of "inceptions" but
for nesting `RemoteActorError`s as they're relayed through multiple
actor-IPC hops. So for example, a remote error relayed "through" some
proxy actor to another ends up packing a `RemoteActorError` into another
one such that there are 2 layers of RAEs with the first
containing/boxing an original src actor error (type).
In support of this extension to `RemoteActorError` we add:
- `get_err_type()` error type resolver helper (factored fromthe
body of `unpack_error()`) to be used whenever rendering
`.src_type`/`.boxed_type`.
- `.src_type_str: str` which is pulled from `.msgdata` and holds the
above (eventually when unpacked) type as `str`.
- `._src_type: BaseException|None` for the original
"source" actor's error as unpacked in any remote (actor's) env and
exposed as a readonly property `.src_type`.
- `.boxed_type_str: str` the same as above but for the "last" boxed
error's type; when the RAE is unpacked at its first hop this will
be **the same as** `.src_type_str`.
- `._boxed_type: BaseException` which now similarly should be "rendered"
from the below type-`str` field instead of passed in as a error-type
via `boxed_type` (though we still do for the ctxc case atm, see
notes).
|_ new sanity checks in `.__init__()` mostly as a reminder to handle
that ^ ctxc case ^ more elegantly at some point..
|_ obvi we discard the previous `suberror_type` input arg.
- fully remove the `.type`/`.type_str` properties instead expecting
usage of `.boxed_/.src_` equivalents.
- start deprecation of `.src_actor_uid` and make it delegate to new
`.src_uid`
- add `.relay_uid` propery for the last relay/hop's actor uid.
- add `.relay_path: list[str]` which holds the per-hop updated sequence
of relay actor uid's which consecutively did boxing of an RAE.
- only include `.src_uid` and `.relay_path` in reprol() output.
- factor field-to-str rendering into a new `_mk_fields_str()`
and use it in `.__repr__()`/`.reprol()`.
- add an `.unwrap()` to (attempt to) render the src error.
- rework `pack_error()` to handle inceptions including,
- packing the correct field-values for the new `boxed_type_str`, `relay_uid`,
`src_uid`, `src_type_str`.
- always updating the `relay_path` sequence with the uid of the
current actor.
- adjust `unpack_error()` to match all these changes,
- pulling `boxed_type_str` and passing any resolved `boxed_type` to
`RemoteActorError.__init__()`.
- use the new `Context.maybe_raise()` convenience method.
Adjust `._rpc` packing to `ContextCancelled(boxed_type=trio.Cancelled)`
and tweak some more log msg formats.
- `trio_typing` is nearly obsolete since `trio >= 0.23`
- `exceptiongroup` is built-in to python 3.11
- `async_generator` primitives have lived in `contextlib` for quite
a while!
Since `._runtime` was getting pretty long (> 2k LOC) and much of the RPC
low-level machinery is fairly isolated to a handful of task-funcs, it
makes sense to re-org the RPC task scheduling and driving msg loop to
its own code space.
The move includes:
- `process_messages()` which is the main IPC business logic.
- `try_ship_error_to_remote()` helper, to box local errors for the wire.
- `_invoke()`, the core task scheduler entrypoing used in the msg loop.
- `_invoke_non_context()`, holds impls for non-`@context` task starts.
- `_errors_relayed_via_ipc()` which does all error catch-n-boxing for
wire-msg shipment using `try_ship_error_to_remote()` internally.
Also inside `._runtime` improve some `Actor` methods docs.
Finally, since normally you need the content from `._context.Context`
and surroundings in order to effectively grok `Portal.open_context()`
anyways, might as well move the impl to the ctx module as
`open_context_from_portal()` and just bind it on the `Portal` class def.
Associated/required tweaks:
- avoid circ import on `.devx` by only import
`.maybe_wait_for_debugger()` when debug mode is set.
- drop `async_generator` usage, not sure why this hadn't already been
changed to `contextlib`?
- use `@acm` alias throughout `._portal`
Previously i was trying to approach this using lots of
`__tracebackhide__`'s in various internal funcs but since it's not
exactly straight forward to do this inside core deps like `trio` and the
stdlib, it makes a bit more sense to optionally catch and re-raise
certain classes of errors from their originals using `raise from` syntax
as per:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#exception-context
Deats:
- litter `._context` methods with `__tracebackhide__`/`hide_tb` which
were previously being shown but that don't need to be to application
code now that cancel semantics testing is finished up.
- i originally did the same but later commented it all out in `._ipc`
since error catch and re-raise instead in higher level layers
(above the transport) seems to be a much saner approach.
- add catch-n-reraise-from in `MsgStream.send()`/.`receive()` to avoid
seeing the depths of `trio` and/or our `._ipc` layers on comms errors.
Further this patch adds some refactoring to use the
same remote-error shipper routine from both the actor-core in the RPC
invoker:
- rename it as `try_ship_error_to_remote()` and call it from
`._invoke()` as well as it's prior usage.
- make it optionally accept `cid: str` a `remote_descr: str` and of
course a `hide_tb: bool`.
Other misc tweaks:
- add some todo notes around `Actor.load_modules()` debug hooking.
- tweak the zombie reaper log msg and timeout value ;)
Since importing from our top level `conftest.py` is not scaleable
or as "future forward thinking" in terms of:
- LoC-wise (it's only one file),
- prevents "external" (aka non-test) example scripts from importing
content easily,
- seemingly(?) can't be used via abs-import if using
a `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` in a `pyproject.toml` vs.
a `pytest.ini`, see:
https://docs.pytest.org/en/8.0.x/reference/customize.html#pyproject-toml)
=> Go back to having an internal "testing" pkg like `trio` (kinda) does.
Deats:
- move generic top level helpers into pkg-mod including the new
`expect_ctxc()` (which i needed in the advanced faults testing script.
- move `@tractor_test` into `._testing.pytest` sub-mod.
- adjust all the helper imports to be a `from tractor._testing import <..>`
Rework `test_ipc_channel_break_during_stream()` and backing script:
- make test(s) pull `debug_mode` from new fixture (which is now
controlled manually from `--tpdb` flag) and drop the previous
parametrized input.
- update logic in ^ test for "which-side-fails" cases to better match
recently updated/stricter cancel/failure semantics in terms of
`ClosedResouruceError` vs. `EndOfChannel` expectations.
- handle `ExceptionGroup`s with expected embedded errors in test.
- better pendantics around whether to expect a user simulated KBI.
- for `examples/advanced_faults/ipc_failure_during_stream.py` script:
- generalize ipc breakage in new `break_ipc()` with support for diff
internal `trio` methods and a #TODO for future disti frameworks
- only make one sub-actor task break and the other just stream.
- use new `._testing.expect_ctxc()` around ctx block.
- add a bit of exception handling with `print()`s around ctxc (unused
except if 'msg' break method is set) and eoc cases.
- don't break parent side ipc in loop any more then once
after first break, checked via flag var.
- add a `pre_close: bool` flag to control whether
`MsgStreama.aclose()` is called *before* any ipc breakage method.
Still TODO:
- drop `pytest.ini` and add the alt section to `pyproject.py`.
-> currently can't get `--rootdir=` opt to work.. not showing in
console header.
-> ^ also breaks on 'tests' `enable_modules` imports in subactors
during discovery tests?
With the seeming cause that some cases occasionally raise
`ExceptionGroup` instead of a (collapsed out) single error which, in
those cases at least try to check that `.exceptions` has the original
error.
Found exactly why trying this won't work when playing around with
opening workspaces in `modden` using a `Portal.open_context()` back to
the 'bigd' root actor: the RPC machinery only registers one entry in
`Actor._contexts` which will get overwritten by each task's side and
then experience race-based IPC msging errors (eg. rxing `{'started': _}`
on the callee side..). Instead make opening a ctx back to the self-actor
a runtime error describing it as an invalid op.
To match:
- add a new test `test_ctx_with_self_actor()` to the context semantics
suite.
- tried out adding a new `side: str` to the `Actor.get_context()` (and
callers) but ran into not being able to determine the value from in
`._push_result()` where it's needed to figure out which side to push
to.. So, just leaving the commented arg (passing) in the runtime core
for now in case we can come back to trying to make it work, tho i'm
thinking it's not the right hack anyway XD
Call it `allow_msg_keys: list[str] = ['yield']` and set it to accept
`['yield', 'return']` from the drain loop in `.aclose()`. Only pass the
last key error to `_raise_from_no_key_in_msg()` in the fall-through
case.
Somehow this seems to prevent all the intermittent test failures i was
seeing in local runs including when running the entire suite all in
sequence; i ain't complaining B)
Much like similar recent changes throughout the core, build out `msg:
str` depending on error cases and emit with `.cancel()` level as
appropes. Also mute (via level) some duplication in the cancel case
inside `_run_asyncio_task()` for console noise reduction.
