Hi,
I’m not able to create and test basic ConsumerSupervisor behavior.
I tried to follow the docs, but had a few issues. First one is that my child spec lacked “restart: :transient” (not present in the docs Printer example ConsumerSupervisor — gen_stage v1.3.2 : should I create an issue ?).
Here’s my code
defmodule BasicConsumerSupervisor do
defmodule MyConsumerSupervisor do
use ConsumerSupervisor
def start_link(arg) do
ConsumerSupervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, arg)
end
def init(_arg) do
children = [%{id: MyConsumer, start: {MyConsumer, :start_link, []}, restart: :transient}]
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one]
ConsumerSupervisor.init(children, opts)
end
end
defmodule MyConsumer do
def start_link(event, truc) do
Task.start_link(fn ->
IO.inspect({self(), event, truc})
end)
end
end
end
And Iex session with errors
iex(2)> {:ok, c} = BasicConsumerSupervisor.MyConsumerSupervisor.start_link([])
{:ok, #PID<0.323.0>}
iex(3)> {:ok, p} = 0..100 |> Enum.to_list |> GenStage.from_enumerable()
{:ok, #PID<0.325.0>}
iex(4)> GenStage.sync_subscribe(c, to: p)
{:ok, #Reference<0.1632678573.1983643649.222301>}
iex(5)>

Any ideas what could be wrong ?
cheers,

There is no module named
MyConsumer, you probably meanBasicConsumerSupervisor.MyConsumer.fcabouat
You’re right, I fixed it. But I still get the same error though.

Ok, I’m quite stupid : I propagated old errors into new code : took me a while before understanding the first error (ConsumerSupervisor needing restart: transient or restart: temporary), and then I had remaining errors regarding functions arity. Here this is the start_link of BasicConsumerSupervisor.MyConsumer, which was wrong : I had added a second parameter which was superfluous.
Isolating things properly (the working gen_stage/examples/consumer_supervisor.exs at main · elixir-lang/gen_stage · GitHub example helped a lot) with cold head and I could find it.
Thanx.
