从另一个 GenServer 调用一个 GenServer

Calling a GenServer from another GenServer

我有一个使用 2 个 GenServer 的项目 第一个名为 "State" 的 GenServer 维护状态,第二个名为 "Updates" 的 GenServer 维护状态可能更新的列表。我想要实现的是:

每次调用 "State" 时,"State" 应该调用 "Updates" 并在返回实际状态之前更新自身。

两个 GenServers 都是由主管启动的,我可以从外部按名称调用两个 GenServers,但是如果我尝试在 "State" 内部调用 "Updates" 的 API,"State" 以 "no process" 错误终止。有什么建议吗?

  def start_link(opts) do
    Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  def init(_arg) do
    children = [
      {Updates, name: Updates},
      {State, name: State}
    ]

    Supervisor.init(children, strategy: :rest_for_one)
  end

两个 GenServer 都以

开头
  def start_link(opts) do
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [], opts)
  end

在"State"我有回调

  @impl true
  def handle_call({:get}, _from, state) do
    updates = Updates.get_updates(Updates)
    {:reply, updates, state}
  end

同样,如果我直接从 iex 调用 Updates.get_updates(Updates),一切都会按预期进行,所以我认为我的主管一切都很好。好像 "State" 不知道 "Updates".

的名字

更新。get_updates/1 实施是:

  def get_updates(pid) do
    GenServer.call(pid, :get)
  end

回调只是回复的状态

  @impl true
  def handle_call(:get, _from, state) do
    {:reply, state, state}
  end

State" terminates with a "no process" error. Any suggestions?

根据Supervisor docschildren列表:

   children = [
      {Updates, name: Updates},
      {State, name: State}
    ]

应该是 child specification 元组的列表,其中子规范具有以下有效键:

The child specification contains 6 keys. The first two are required, and the remaining ones are optional:

:id - any term used to identify the child specification internally by the supervisor; defaults to the given module. In the case of conflicting :id values, the supervisor will refuse to initialize and require explicit IDs. This key is required.

:start - a tuple with the module-function-args to be invoked to start the child process. This key is required.

:restart - an atom that defines when a terminated child process should be restarted (see the “Restart values” section below). This key is optional and defaults to :permanent.

:shutdown - an atom that defines how a child process should be terminated (see the “Shutdown values” section below). This key is optional and defaults to 5000 if the type is :worker or :infinity if the type is :supervisor.

:type - specifies that the child process is a :worker or a :supervisor. This key is optional and defaults to :worker.

There is a sixth key, :modules, that is rarely changed. It is set automatically based on the value in :start.

请注意,您在子规范中列出的 name: 键没有。

但是,GenServer.start_link() 确实有一个 name: 选项:

Both start_link/3 and start/3 support the GenServer to register a name on start via the :name option. Registered names are also automatically cleaned up on termination. The supported values are:

an atom - the GenServer is registered locally with the given name using Process.register/2.

{:global, term} - the GenServer is registered globally with the given term using the functions in the :global module.

{:via, module, term} - the GenServer is registered with the given mechanism and name. The :via option expects a module that exports register_name/2, unregister_name/1, whereis_name/1 and send/2. One such example is the :global module which uses these functions for keeping the list of names of processes and their associated PIDs that are available globally for a network of Elixir nodes. Elixir also ships with a local, decentralized and scalable registry called Registry for locally storing names that are generated dynamically.

For example, we could start and register our Stack server locally as follows:

# Start the server and register it locally with name:

MyStack {:ok, _} = GenServer.start_link(Stack, [:hello], name: MyStack)

所以,我认为你应该这样做:

  def init(_arg) do
    children = [
      Updates,
      State
    ]

然后在你的 GenServer start_link() 函数中:

 def start_link(args) do
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, args, name: __MODULE__)
 end

======

这是一个完整的例子。在 application.ex 中,您 可以 指定要注册的名称:

children = [
  # Starts a worker by calling: Servers.Worker.start_link(arg)
  # {Servers.Worker, arg},
  {
    Servers.CurrentState, [ 
      init_state_with: [:hello, 10], 
      name_to_register: Servers.CurrentState
    ] 
  },
  {
    Servers.Updates, [
      init_state_with: [:goodbye], 
      name_to_register: Servers.Updates
    ]
  }
]

然后您可以像这样定义您的两个 GenServer:

lib/servers/updates.ex:

defmodule Servers.Updates do
  use GenServer

  def start_link(arg) do  

    GenServer.start_link(
      __MODULE__, 
      arg[:init_state_with], 
      name: arg[:name_to_register])                                       

  end

  ## Callbacks

  @impl true
  def init(state) do
    {:ok, state}
  end

  @impl true
  def handle_call(:get_updates, _from, state) do
    {:reply, state, state}
  end

  @impl true
  def handle_cast({:push, item}, state) do
    {:noreply, [item | state]}
  end


  ##User interface:

  def get() do
    GenServer.call(__MODULE__, :get_updates)
  end

  def add(item) do
    GenServer.cast(__MODULE__, {:push, item})
  end

end

lib/servers/current_state.ex:

defmodule Servers.CurrentState do
  use GenServer

  def start_link(args) do  

    GenServer.start_link(
      __MODULE__, 
      args[:init_state_with], 
      name: args[:name_to_register])

  end

  ## Callbacks

  @impl true
  def init(state) do
    IO.inspect(state, label: "The CurrentState server is starting with state")
    {:ok, state}
  end

  @impl true
  def handle_call(:get_state, _from, state) do
    state_to_add = Servers.Updates.get()
    new_state = state_to_add ++ state

    {:reply, new_state, new_state}
  end


  ##User interface:

  def get() do
    GenServer.call(__MODULE__, :get_state)
  end

end

然后,您可以使用以下方法进行测试:

defmodule Servers.Go do
  def test() do
    IO.inspect("Updates has state: #{inspect Servers.Updates.get()}" )
    IO.inspect("CurrentState has state: #{inspect Servers.CurrentState.get()}" )
    :ok
  end
end

在 iex 中:

~/elixir_programs/servers$ iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Compiling 1 file (.ex)

The CurrentState server is starting with state: [:hello, 10]

Interactive Elixir (1.6.6) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)

iex(1)> Servers.Go.test()
"Updates has state: [:goodbye]"
"CurrentState has state: [:goodbye, :hello, 10]"
:ok

iex(2)> 

(注意输出的第一行与服务器启动消息混合在一起。)

但是,您可以使用 __MODULE__ 来简化事情:

application.ex:

children = [
  # Starts a worker by calling: Servers.Worker.start_link(arg)
  # {Servers.Worker, arg},

  { Servers.CurrentState,  [:hello, 10] }
  { Servers.Updates, [:goodbye] }

]

lib/servers/updates.ex:

defmodule Servers.Updates do
  use GenServer

  def start_link(arg) do  
                  #arg comes from child specification tuple
                  #inside the `children` list in application.ex

    #                        | module where the GenServer is defined
    #                        | 
    #                        |        | send arg to the GenServer's init() function       
    #                        V        V
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, arg, name: __MODULE__)
    #                                      ^
    #                                      |
    #                     register the specified name for this GenServer

  end

  ## Callbacks

  @impl true
  def init(state) do
    {:ok, state}
  end

  @impl true
  def handle_call(:get_updates, _from, state) do
    {:reply, state, state}
  end

  @impl true
  def handle_cast({:push, item}, state) do
    {:noreply, [item | state]}
  end

  ## User interface:

  def get() do
    GenServer.call(__MODULE__, :get_updates)
  end

  def add(item) do
    GenServer.cast(__MODULE__, {:push, item})
  end

end
