Phoenix.Tracker handle_diff unable to call Phoenix.Tracker.List

For some reason i’m getting this error:

[error] GenServer KioskTracker_shard10 terminating
** (stop) exited in: GenServer.call(KioskTracker_shard10, {:list, “room:kiosk”}, 5000)
** (EXIT) process attempted to call itself

It’s erroring out on the Phoenix.Tracker.list call.
What is the proper way to access the list of tracked connections within the handle_diff callback function of a Phoenix Tracker?

Thanks!

  def handle_diff(diff, state) do
    kiosks = Phoenix.Tracker.list(__MODULE__, "room:kiosk")
    IO.puts("KIOSKS CONNECTED")
        IO.inspect(kiosks)
    for {topic, {joins, leaves}} <- diff do
      for {key, meta} <- joins do
        IO.puts("presence join: key \"#{key}\" with meta #{inspect(meta)}")
        # This stuff might be for distributed system with more than one node, look into it later
        # msg = {:join, key, meta}
        # Phoenix.PubSub.direct_broadcast!(state.node_name, state.pubsub_server, topic, msg)
      end

      for {key, meta} <- leaves do
        
        
        IO.puts("presence leave: key \"#{key}\" with meta #{inspect(meta)}")
        # This stuff might be for distributed system with more than one node, look into it later
        # msg = {:leave, key, meta}
        # Phoenix.PubSub.direct_broadcast!(state.node_name, state.pubsub_server, topic, msg)
      end
    end

    {:ok, state}
  end

The one thing to consider with handle_diff is that it will execute on every node in the cluster for a given change. This means that if there’s some logic you want to do once, it will actually run N times.

The Channel approach may work here (especially if intercepting handle_diff). You can execute code to check the kiosks and shut down in that case. I normally recommend Tracker, but Presence would actually fit pretty well if you’re intercepting handle_diff. It’s just tracker + broadcasting the diff to that topic.

How did you end up solving this issue? Im getting the same error when trying to call Phoenix.Tracker.list(tracker_name, topic) from either inside my handle_diff() callback or another module.

I thought of intercepting presence_diff in my channel, and each time there was a leave I could make a call to Phoenix.Tracker.list(). However Im finding that while intercepting prescence_diff it doesn’t seem to fire when the last person subscribed to a topic leaves (I assume this is because the last person leaving kills the presence for that topic)

Where Next?
