Get current actor inside Req request

Does the library you are using support putting a custom client? I was trying to do some response rewrite for the library InstructorLite that is using req, so I add something like

defmodule MyClient do
  def post(url, opts) do
    case Req.post(url, opts) do
      ... rewrite response
      ... you can get the pid here I guess

and set the custom client option adapter_context: [http_client: MyClient,

Yeah so you mean create a custom client that puts/gets stuff from the process dict like the old “Store Process in Context” stuff used to do?

I tracked down the docs page for that stuff, it was deleted in d55864713a32 but the commit message didn’t have a specific rationale - I presume it was just a general “using process dicts for state is gross and probably makes parallel testing hard” vibes.

Anyway, thanks for your idea - I’m honestly thinking that the best option is to rearchitect my code so that there’s fewer layers of indirection between the action (where I do know the actor) and the code that creates the Req.Request struct (where I need the auth token).

This is what I’d recommend.

Thanks. That’s what I did. As an added bonus testing is easier
