For some reason, I want to broadcast a message when someone leaves a channel or disconnects due to some network issues.
I wrote this code:
defmodule MyAppWeb.SomeChannel do
use MyAppWeb, :channel
@impl true
def terminate(_reason, socket) do
broadcast(socket, "left", %{})
end
end
And here’s the test:
test "broadcast when leave", %{socket: socket} do
IO.inspect self()
leave(socket)
assert_broadcast("left", _)
end
When I ran this test, I got the following error with no additional detail:
#PID<0.875.0>
** (EXIT from #PID<0.875.0>) shutdown: :left
I tested my implementation using the Chrome websocket extension “WebSocket King Client”, and it works.
My question is, how to test broadcasting in terminate/2, or is there another way to implement this behavior that can be tested?

How can we broadcast something, after connection got terminated?!?
Perhaps a separate channel…
Aetherus
The documentation of
Phoenix.Channel.terminate/2saysSo I suppose when this callback is called, the channel is not exited yet.
Aetherus
I figured it out.
When testing a channel, it appears that the channel process is somehow linked to the process running the test. When the channel process exits with a non-normal reason, it crashes the test process as well.
So, all I have to is to make the test process trapping exit.
derpycoder
Can you also post your solution.
Aetherus
Just adding
Process.flag(:trap_exit, true)inside the test case, or insidesetup do ... end.
