- Drop `test_msg_spec_xor_pld_spec()` since we no longer support
`ipc_msg_spec` arg to `mk_codec()`.
- Expect `MsgTypeError`s around `.open_context()` calls when
`add_codec_hooks == False`.
- toss in some `.pause()` points in the subactor ctx body whilst hacking
out a `.pld` protocol for debug mode TTY locking.
Such that the top level `maybe_enable_greenback` from
`open_root_actor()` can toggle the entire actor tree's usage.
Read the rtv in `._rpc` tasks and only enable if set.
Also, rigor up the `._rpc.process_messages()` loop to handle `Error()`
and `case _:` separately such that we now raise an explicit rte for
unknown / invalid msgs. Use "parent" / "child" for side descriptions in
loop comments and put a fat comment before the `StartAck` in `_invoke()`.
Instead of `allow_msg_keys` since we've fully flipped over to
struct-types for msgs in the runtime.
- drop the loop from `MsgStream.receive_nowait()` since
`Yield/Return.pld` getting will handle both (instead of a loop of
`dict`-key reads).
Which matches with renaming `.payload_msg` -> `.expected_msg` which is
the value we attempt to construct from a vanilla-msgppack
decode-to-`dict` and then construct manually into a `MsgType` using
`.msg.types.from_dict_msg()`. Add a todo to use new `use_pretty` flag
which currently conflicts with `._exceptions.pformat_boxed_type()`
prefix formatting..
Add a bit of special handling for msg-type-errors with a dedicated
log-msg detailing which `.side: str` is the sender/causer and avoiding
a `._scope.cancel()` call in such cases since the local task might be
written to handle and tolerate the badly (typed) IPC msg.
As part of ^, change the ctx task-pair "side" semantics from "caller" ->
"callee" to be "parent" -> "child" which better matches the
cross-process SC-linked-task supervision hierarchy, and
`trio.Nursery.parent_task`; in `trio` the task that opens a nursery is
also named the "parent".
Impl deats / fixes around the `.side` semantics:
- ensure that `._portal: Portal` is set ASAP after
`Actor.start_remote_task()` such that if the `Started` transaction
fails, the parent-vs.-child sides are still denoted correctly (since
`._portal` being set is the predicate for that).
- add a helper func `Context.peer_side(side: str) -> str:` which inverts
from "child" to "parent" and vice versa, useful for logging info.
Other tweaks:
- make `_drain_to_final_msg()` return a tuple of a maybe-`Return` and
the list of other `pre_result_drained: list[MsgType]` such that we
don't ever have to warn about the return msg getting captured as
a pre-"result" msg.
- Add some strictness flags to `.started()` which allow for toggling
whether to error or warn log about mismatching roundtripped `Started`
msgs prior to IPC transit.
Display the new `MsgCodec.pld_spec_str` and format the incorrect field
value to be placed entirely (txt block wise) right of the "type annot"
part of the line:
Iow if you had a bad `dict` value where something else should be it'd
look something like this:
<Started(
|_pld: NamespacePath = {'cid': '3e0ca00c-7d32-4d2a-a0c2-ac2e12453871',
'locked': True,
'msg_type': 'LockStatus',
'subactor_uid': ['sub', 'af7ccb69-1dab-491f-84f7-2ec42c32d137']}
- add some `tb_str: str` indent-prefix args for diff indent levels for the
body vs. the surrounding "ascii box".
- ^-use it-^ from `RemoteActorError.__repr()__` obvi.
- use new `msg.types.from_dict_msg()` in impl of
`MsgTypeError.payload_msg`, handy for showing what the message "would
have looked like in `Struct` form" had it not failed it's type
constraints.
Sure makes console grokability a lot better by showing only the
customizeable fields.
Further, clean up `mk_codec()` a bunch by removing the `ipc_msg_spec`
param since we don't plan to support another msg-set (for now) which
allows cleaning out a buncha logic that was mostly just a source of
bugs..
Also,
- add temporary `log.info()` around codec application.
- throw in some sanity `assert`s to `limit_msg_spec()`.
- add but mask out the `extend_msg_spec()` idea since it seems `msgspec`
won't allow `Decoder.type` extensions when using a custom `dec_hook()`
for some extension type.. (not sure what approach to take here yet).
Handy for re-constructing a struct-`MsgType` from a `dict` decoded from
wire-bytes wherein the msg failed to decode normally due to a field type
error but you'd still like to show the "potential" msg in struct form,
say inside a `MsgTypeError`'s meta data.
Supporting deats:
- add a `.msg.types.from_dict_msg()` to implement it (the helper).
- also a `.msg.types._msg_table: dict[str, MsgType]` for supporting this
func ^ as well as providing just a general `MsgType`-by-`str`-name
lookup.
Unrelated:
- Drop commented idea for still supporting `dict`-msg set via
`enc/dec_hook()`s that would translate to/from `MsgType`s, but that
would require a duplicate impl in the runtime.. so eff that XD
Not sure if this is a good tactic (yet) but it at least covers us from
getting user's confused by `breakpoint()` usage causing REPL clobbering.
Always set an explicit rte raising breakpoint hook such that the user
realizes they can't use `.pause_from_sync()` without enabling debug
mode.
** CHERRY-PICK into `pause_from_sync_w_greenback` branch! **
Mostly removing commented (and replaced) code blocks lingering from the
ctxc semantics work and new typed-msg-spec `MsgType`s handling AND use
the new `._exceptions.pack_from_raise()` helper to construct
`StreamOverrun` msgs.
Deaterz:
- clean out the drain loop now that it's implemented to handle our
struct msg types including the `dict`-msg bits left in as
fallback-reminders, any notes/todos better summarized at the top of
their blocks, remove any `_final_result_is_set()` related duplicate/legacy
tidbits.
- use a `case Error()` block in drain loop with fallthrough to `_:`
always resulting in an rte raise.
- move "XXX" notes into the doc-string for `._deliver_msg()` as
a "rules" section.
- use `match:` syntax for logging the `result_or_err: MsgType` outcome
from the final `.result()` call inside `open_context_from_portal()`.
- generally speaking use `MsgType` type annotations throughout!
Such that `Channel.recv()` + `MsgpackTCPStream.recv()` originating
msg-type-errors are not raised at the IPC transport layer but instead
relayed up the runtime stack for eventual handling by user-app code via
the `Context`/`MsgStream` layer APIs.
This design choice leads to a substantial amount of flexibility and
modularity, and avoids `MsgTypeError` handling policies from being
coupled to a particular backend IPC transport layer:
- receive-side msg-type errors, as can be raised and handled in the
`.open_stream()` "nasty" phase of a ctx, whilst being packed at the
`MsgCodec`/transport layer (keeping the underlying src decode error
coupled to the specific transport + interchange lib) and then relayed
upward to app code for custom handling like a normal Error` msg.
- the policy options for handling such cases could be implemented as
`@acm` wrappers around `.open_context()`/`.open_stream()` blocks (and
their respective delivered primitives) OR just plain old async
generators around `MsgStream.receive()` such that both built-in policy
handling and custom user-app solutions can be swapped without touching
any `tractor` internals or providing specialized "registry APIs".
-> eg. the ignore and relay-invalid-msg-to-sender approach can be more
easily implemented as embedded `try: except MsgTypeError:` blocks
around `MsgStream.receive()` possibly applied as either of an
injected wrapper type around a stream or an async gen that `async
for`s from the stream.
- any performance based AOT-lang extensions used to implement a policy
for handling recv-side errors space can avoid knowledge of the lower
level IPC `Channel` (and-downward) primitives.
- `Context` consuming code can choose to let all msg-type-errs
bubble and handle them manually (like any other remote `Error`
shuttled exception).
- we can keep (as before) send-side msg type checks can be raised
locally and cause offending senders to error and adjust before the
streaming phase of an IPC ctx.
Impl (related) deats:
- obvi make `MsgpackTCPStream.recv()` yield up any `MsgTypeError`
constructed by `_mk_msg_type_err()` such that the exception will
eventually be relayed up to `._rpc.process_messages()` and from
their delivered to the corresponding ctx-task.
- in support of ^, make `Channel.recv()` detect said mtes and use the
new `pack_from_raise()` to inject the far end `Actor.uid` for the
`Error.src_uid`.
- keep raising the send side equivalent (when strict enabled) errors
inline immediately with no upward `Error` packing or relay.
- improve `_mk_msg_type_err()` cases handling with far more detailed
`MsgTypeError` "message" contents pertaining to `msgspec` specific
failure-fixing-tips and type-spec mismatch info:
* use `.from_decode()` constructor in recv-side case to inject the
non-spec decoded `msg_dict: dict` and use the new
`MsgCodec.pld_spec_str: str` when clarifying the type discrepancy
with the offending field.
* on send-side, if we detect that an unsupported field type was
described in the original `src_type_error`, AND there is no
`msgpack.Encoder.enc_hook()` set, that the real issue is likely
that the user needs to extend the codec to support the
non-std/custom type with a hook and link to `msgspec` docs.
* if one of a `src_type/validation_error` is provided, set that
error as the `.__cause__` in the new mte.
Make a new `MsgType: TypeAlias` for the union of all msg types such that
it can be used in annots throughout the code base; just make
`.msg.__msg_spec__` delegate to it.
Add some new codec methods:
- `pld_spec_str`: for the `str`-casted value of the payload spec,
generally useful in logging content.
- `msg_spec_items()`: to render a `dict` of msg types to their
`str()`-casted values with support for singling out a specific
`MsgType`, type by input `msg` instance.
- `pformat_msg_spec()`: for rendering the (partial) `.msg_spec` as
a formatted `str` useful in logging.
Oh right, add a `Error._msg_dict: dict` in support of the previous
commit (for `MsgTypeError` packing as RAEs) such that our error msg type
can house a non-type-spec decoded wire-bytes for error
reporting/analysis purposes.
Since in the receive-side error case the source of the exception is the
sender side (normally causing a local `TypeError` at decode time), might
as well bundle the error in remote-capture-style using boxing semantics
around the causing local type error raised from the
`msgspec.msgpack.Decoder.decode()` and with a traceback packed from
`msgspec`-specific knowledge of any field-type spec matching failure.
Deats on new `MsgTypeError` interface:
- includes a `.msg_dict` to get access to any `Decoder.type`-applied
load of the original (underlying and offending) IPC msg into
a `dict` form using a vanilla decoder which is normally packed into
the instance as a `._msg_dict`.
- a public getter to the "supposed offending msg" via `.payload_msg`
which attempts to take the above `.msg_dict` and load it manually into
the corresponding `.msg.types.MsgType` struct.
- a constructor `.from_decode()` to make it simple to build out error
instances from a failed decode scope where the aforementioned
`msgdict: dict` from the vanilla decode can be provided directly.
- ALSO, we now pack into `MsgTypeError` directly just like ctxc in
`unpack_error()`
This also completes the while-standing todo for `RemoteActorError` to
contain a ref to the underlying `Error` msg as `._ipc_msg` with public
`@property` access that `defstruct()`-creates a pretty struct version
via `.ipc_msg`.
Internal tweaks for this include:
- `._ipc_msg` is the internal literal `Error`-msg instance if provided
with `.ipc_msg` the dynamic wrapper as mentioned above.
- `.__init__()` now can still take variable `**extra_msgdata` (similar
to the `dict`-msgdata as before) to maintain support for subtypes
which are constructed manually (not only by `pack_error()`) and insert
their own attrs which get placed in a `._extra_msgdata: dict` if no
`ipc_msg: Error` is provided as input.
- the `.msgdata` is now a merge of any `._extra_msgdata` and
a `dict`-casted form of any `._ipc_msg`.
- adjust all previous `.msgdata` field lookups to try equivalent field
reads on `._ipc_msg: Error`.
- drop default single ws indent from `.tb_str` and do a failover lookup
to `.msgdata` when `._ipc_msg is None` for the manually constructed
subtype-instance case.
- add a new class attr `.extra_body_fields: list[str]` to allow subtypes
to declare attrs they want shown in the `.__repr__()` output, eg.
`ContextCancelled.canceller`, `StreamOverrun.sender` and
`MsgTypeError.payload_msg`.
- ^-rework defaults pertaining to-^ with rename from
`_msgdata_keys` -> `_ipcmsg_keys` with latter now just loading directly
from the `Error` fields def and `_body_fields: list[str]` just taking
that value and removing the not-so-useful-in-REPL or already shown
(i.e. `.tb_str: str`) field names.
- add a new mod level `.pack_from_raise()` helper for auto-boxing RAE
subtypes constructed manually into `Error`s which is normally how
`StreamOverrun` and `MsgTypeError` get created in the runtime.
- in support of the above expose a `src_uid: tuple` override to
`pack_error()` such that the runtime can provide any remote actor id
when packing a locally-created yet remotely-caused RAE subtype.
- adjust all typing to expect `Error`s over `dict`-msgs.
Adjust some tests to match these changes:
- context and inter-peer-cancel tests to make their `.msgdata` related
checks against the new `.ipc_msg` as well and `.tb_str` directly.
- toss in an extra sleep to `sleep_a_bit_then_cancel_peer()` to keep the
'canceller' ctx child task cancelled by it's parent in the 'root' for
the rte-raised-during-ctxc-handling case (apparently now it's
returning too fast, cool?).
Better describes the internal RPC impl/latest-architecture with the msgs
delivered being those which either define a `.pld: PayloadT` that gets
passed up to user code, or the error-msg subset that similarly is raised
in a ctx-linked task.
These are likely temporary changes but still needed to actually see the
desired/correct failures (of which 5 of 6 tests are supposed to fail rn)
mostly to do with `Start` and `Return` msgs which are invalid under each
test's applied msg-spec.
Tweak set here:
- bit more `print()`s in root and sub for grokin test flow.
- never use `pytes.fail()` in subactor.. should know this by now XD
- comment out some bits that can't ever pass rn and make the underlying
expected failues harder to grok:
- the sub's child-side-of-ctx task doing sends should only fail
for certain msg types like `Started` + `Return`, `Yield`s are
processed receiver/parent side.
- don't expect `sent` list to match predicate set for the same reason
as last bullet.
The outstanding msg-type-semantic validation questions are:
- how to handle `.open_context()` with an input `kwargs` set that
doesn't adhere to the currently applied msg-spec?
- should the initial `@acm` entry fail before sending to the child
side?
- where should received `MsgTypeError`s be raised, at the `MsgStream`
`.receive()` or lower in the stack?
- i'm thinking we should mk `MsgTypeError` derive from
`RemoteActorError` and then have it be delivered as an error to the
`Context`/`MsgStream` for per-ctx-task handling; would lead to more
flexible/modular policy overrides in user code outside any defaults
we provide.
Mainly expanding out the runtime endpoints for cancellation to separate
cases and flattening them with the main RPC-request-invoke block, moving
the non-cancel runtime case (where we call `getattr(actor, funcname)`)
inside the main `Start` case (for now) which branches on `ns=="self"`.
Also, add a new IPC msg `class CancelAck(Return):` which is always
included in the default msg-spec such that runtime cancellation (and
eventually all) endpoints return that msg (instead of a `Return`) and
thus sidestep any currently applied `MsgCodec` such that the results
(`bool`s for most cancel methods) are never violating the current type
limit(s) on `Msg.pld`. To support this expose a new variable
`return_msg: Return|CancelAck` param from
`_invoke()`/`_invoke_non_context)()` and set it to `CancelAck` in the
appropriate endpoint case-blocks of the msg loop.
Clean out all the lingering legacy `chan.send(<dict-msg>)` commented
codez from the invoker funcs, with more cleaning likely to come B)
Pretty sure we haven't *needed it* for a while, it was always generally
hazardous in terms of IPC msg types, AND it's definitely incompatible
with a dynamically applied typed msg spec: you can't just expect
a `None` to be willy nilly handled all the time XD
For now I'm masking out all the code and leaving very detailed
surrounding notes but am not removing it quite yet in case for strange
reason it is needed by some edge case (though I haven't found according
to the test suite).
Backstory:
------ - ------
Originally (i'm pretty sure anyway) it was added as a super naive
"remote cancellation" mechanism (back before there were specific `Actor`
methods for such things) that was mostly (only?) used before IPC
`Channel` closures to "more gracefully cancel" the connection's parented
RPC tasks. Since we now have explicit runtime-RPC endpoints for
conducting remote cancellation of both tasks and full actors, it should
really be removed anyway, because:
- a `None`-msg setinel is inconsistent with other RPC endpoint handling
input patterns which (even prior to typed msging) had specific
msg-value triggers.
- the IPC endpoint's (block) implementation should use
`Actor.cancel_rpc_tasks(parent_chan=chan)` instead of a manual loop
through a `Actor._rpc_tasks.copy()`..
Deats:
- mask the `Channel.send(None)` calls from both the `Actor._stream_handler()` tail
as well as from the `._portal.open_portal()` was connected block.
- mask the msg loop endpoint block and toss in lotsa notes.
Unrelated tweaks:
- drop `Actor._debug_mode`; unused.
- make `Actor.cancel_server()` return a `bool`.
- use `.msg.pretty_struct.Struct.pformat()` to show any msg that is
ignored (bc invalid) in `._push_result()`.
Add both the `.send()` and `.recv()` handling blocks to a common
`_raise_msg_type_err()` which includes detailed error msg formatting:
- the `.recv()` side case does introspection of the `Msg` fields and
attempting to report the exact (field type related) issue
- `.send()` side does some boxed-error style tb formatting like
`RemoteActorError`.
- add a `strict_types: bool` to `.send()` to allow for just
warning on bad inputs versus raising, but always raise from any
`Encoder` type error.
As detailed in the surrounding notes, it's pretty advantageous to always
have the child context task ensure the first msg it relays back is
msg-type checked against the current spec and thus `MsgCodec`. Implement
the check via a simple codec-roundtrip of the `Started` msg such that
the `.pld` payload is always validated before transit. This ensures the
child will fail early and notify the parent before any streaming takes
place (i.e. the "nasty" dialog protocol phase).
The main motivation here is to avoid inter-actor task syncing bugs that
are hard(er) to recover from and/or such as if an invalid typed msg is
sent to the parent, who then ignores it (depending on config), and then
the child thinks the parent is in some presumed state while the parent
is still thinking a first msg has yet to arrive. Doing the stringent
check on the sender side (i.e. the child is sending the "first"
application msg via `.started()`) avoids/sidesteps dealing with such
syncing/coordinated-state problems by keeping the entire IPC dialog in
a "cheap" or "control" style transaction up until a stream is opened.
Iow, the parent task's `.open_context()` block entry can't occur until
the child side is definitely (as much as is possible with IPC msg type
checking) in a correct state spec wise. During any streaming phase in
the dialog the msg-type-checking is NOT done for performance (the
"nasty" protocol phase) and instead any type errors are relayed back
from the receiving side. I'm still unsure whether to take the same
approach on the `Return` msg, since at that point erroring early doesn't
benefit the parent task if/when a msg-type error occurs? Definitely more
to ponder and tinker out here..
Impl notes:
- a gotcha with the roundtrip-codec-ed msg is that it often won't match
the input `value` bc in the `msgpack` case many native python
sequence/collection types will map to a common array type due to the
surjection that `msgpack`'s type-sys imposes.
- so we can't assert that `started == rt_started` but it may be useful
to at least report the diff of the type-reduced payload so that the
caller can at least be notified how the input `value` might be
better type-casted prior to call, for ex. pre-casting to `list`s.
- added a `._strict_started: bool` that could provide the stringent
checking if desired in the future.
- on any validation error raise our `MsgTypeError` from it.
- ALSO change over the lingering `.send_yield()` deprecated meth body
to use a `Yield()`.
Such that the current `kwargs: dict` field can eventually be strictly
msg-typed (eventually directly from a `@context` def) using modern typed
python's hippest syntactical approach B)
Also proto a new `CancelAck(Return)` subtype msg for supporting msg-spec
agnostic `Actor.cancel_xx()` method calls in the runtime such that
a user can't break cancellation (and thus SC) by dynamically setting
a codec that doesn't allow `bool` results (as an eg. in this case).
Note that the msg isn't used yet in `._rpc` but that's a comin!
Set a diff `Msg.pld` spec per test and then send multiple types to
a child actor making sure the child can only send certain types over
a stream and fails with validation or decode errors ow. The test is also
param-ed both with and without hooks demonstrating how a custom type,
`NamespacePath`, needs them for effective use. The subactor IPC context
child is passed a `expect_ipc_send: dict` which relays the values along
with their expected `.send()`-ability.
Deats on technical refinements:
------ - ------
- added a `iter_maybe_sends()` send-value-as-msg-auditor and predicate
generator (literally) so as to be able to pre-determine if given the
current codec and `send_values` which values are expected to be IPC
transmittable.
- as per ^, the diff value-msgs are first round-tripped inside
a `Started` msg using the configured codec in the parent/root actor
before bothering with using IPC primitives + a subactor; this is how
the `expect_ipc_send` table is generated initially.
- for serializing the specs (`Union[Type]`s as required by `msgspec`),
added a pair of codec hooks: `enc/dec_type_union()` (that ideally we
move into a `.msg` submod eventually) which code the type-values as
a `list[str]` of names.
- the `dec_` hook had to be modified to NOT raise an error when an
invalid/unhandled value arrives, this is because we do NOT want the
RPC msg handling loop to raise on the `async for msg in chan:` and
instead prefer to ignore and warn (for now, but eventually respond
with error msg - see notes in hook body) these msgs when sent during
a streaming phase; `Context.started()` will however error on a bad
input for the current msg-spec since it is part of the "cheap"
dialog (again see notes in `._context`) wherein the `Started` msg
is always roundtripped prior to `Channel.send()` to guarantee
the child adheres to its own spec.
- tossed in lotsa `print()`s for console groking of the run progress.
Further notes on typed-msging breaking cancellation:
------ - ------
- turns out since the runtime's cancellation implementation, being done
with `Actor.cancel()` methods and friends will actually break when
a stringent spec is applied (eg. a single type-spec) since the return
values from said methods are generally `bool`s..
- this means we do indeed need special handling of "runtime RPC method
invocations" since ideally a user's msg-spec choices do not break core
functionality on them XD
=> The obvi solution is to add a/some special sub-`Msg` types for such
cases, possibly just a `RuntimeReturn(Return)` type that will always
include a `.pld: bool` for these cancel methods such that their
results are always handled without msg type errors.
More to come on a (hopefully) elegant solution to that last bit!
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!
