Once in a while I get a :noproc error:
** (stop) exited in: GenServer.call({:via, Registry, {:trip_generation_server, "804194805327673"}}, :send_to_processing, 5000)
** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started

I start the TripGenerationServer dynamically:
defp run_trip_generation_server(state, f, tries) do
if tries > 0 do
case Registry.lookup(:trip_generation_server, state.unique_identifier) do
[] ->
case TripGenerationServerSupervisor.start_child(state.unique_identifier) do
{:ok, _pid} ->
f.(state)
e ->
Logger.warning(
"Can not start TripGenerationServer #{state.unique_identifier}: #{inspect(e)}"
)
Process.sleep(200)
run_trip_generation_server(state, f, tries - 1)
end
[{_pid, _nil}] ->
f.(state)
end
else
Logger.error("Can not startTripGenerationServer #{state.unique_identifier}")
end
state
end
And I get the :noproc error when
[{_pid, _nil}] ->
f.(state)
defmodule VehicleProcessing.TripGenerationServerSupervisor do
@moduledoc false
use DynamicSupervisor
require Logger
alias VehicleProcessing.TripGenerationServer
def start_link(_) do
Logger.info("start #{__MODULE__}")
DynamicSupervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, [], name: __MODULE__)
end
def start_child(unique_identifier) do
child_spec = %{
id: TripGenerationServer,
start: {TripGenerationServer, :start, [unique_identifier]},
# the child process is restarted only if it terminates abnormally,
# i.e., with an exit reason other than :normal, :shutdown, or {:shutdown, term}
restart: :transient,
shutdown: :brutal_kill,
type: :worker,
modules: [TripGenerationServer]
}
DynamicSupervisor.start_child(__MODULE__, child_spec)
end
@impl true
def init([]) do
DynamicSupervisor.init(strategy: :one_for_one)
end
end
How is this possible?
It also happens sometimes in a test, and when I run the test again, the error does not appear; or it appears in another test, totally random.

At least in test env it’s possible the process is exiting before the test completes?

That also sometimes happens, but in this case I get {:ok, pid} but still the :noprocess error.
I did not show this in my question, but in my init/1 function of the TripGenerationServer a query to the DB was called:
should_send_to_processing?(imei)is a call to the DB.
I removed that, and not seen the error again in my tests.
So is it possible that we get {:ok, pid} back already before the init/1 function is complete?

Oh, don’t do that. I am not sure that’s your problem but always do these with
handle_continue!Also a piece from
handle_calldocs:al2o3cr
One thought:
TripGenerationServerSupervisor.start_childwill return the child PID as soon as the process is started, but a call using aviatuple won’t succeed until the child process has registered (presumably using code inTripGenerationServer)The error you’re seeing could happen if the callback passed to
run_trip_generation_server“wins the race” and tries to make a call too early.
