Hello, I am trying to refresh my GenServer, Supervisor knowledge and I am trying to convert pooly from “The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook” to newer Supervisor and child_spec forms.
So we have a main Supervisor module that on initialization it runs a GenServer
defmodule Pooly.Supervisor do
use Supervisor
require Cl
def init(pool_config) do
children =
[
# Here I am trying to pass two arguments to Pooly.Server.start_link/2
{Pooly.Server, [self(), pool_config]}
]
|> Cl.inspect(label: "-cb The children")
opts = [strategy: :one_for_all]
Supervisor.init(children, opts)
|> Cl.inspect(label: "-cb After init")
end
end
defmodule Pooly.Server do
use GenServer
def start_link(supervisor, pool_config) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [supervisor, pool_config], name: __MODULE__)
end
# ...
end
Unfortunately when I try to run this I get
```console
$ iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.7.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:12:12] [ds:12:12:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]
Compiling 1 file (.ex)
lib/pooly/supervisor.ex
Pooly.Supervisor:15
The children: [
{Pooly.Server,
[#PID<0.198.0>, [mfa: {SampleWorker, :start_link, []}, size: 5]]}
]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lib/pooly/supervisor.ex
Pooly.Supervisor:20
After init: {:ok,
{%{intensity: 3, period: 5, strategy: :one_for_all},
[
%{
id: Pooly.Server,
start: {Pooly.Server, :start_link,
[[#PID<0.198.0>, [mfa: {SampleWorker, :start_link, []}, size: 5]]]}
}
]}}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** (Mix) Could not start application pooly: Pooly.start(:normal, []) returned an error: shutdown: failed to start child: Pooly.Server
** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Pooly.Server.start_link/1 is undefined or private
(pooly 0.1.0) Pooly.Server.start_link([#PID<0.198.0>, [mfa: {SampleWorker, :start_link, []}, size: 5]])
(stdlib 3.12.1) supervisor.erl:379: :supervisor.do_start_child_i/3
(stdlib 3.12.1) supervisor.erl:365: :supervisor.do_start_child/2
(stdlib 3.12.1) supervisor.erl:349: anonymous fn/3 in :supervisor.start_children/2
(stdlib 3.12.1) supervisor.erl:1157: :supervisor.children_map/4
(stdlib 3.12.1) supervisor.erl:315: :supervisor.init_children/2
(stdlib 3.12.1) gen_server.erl:374: :gen_server.init_it/2
(stdlib 3.12.1) gen_server.erl:342: :gen_server.init_it/6
So, when the children list is defined, the child spec has the arguments in a nice list.
[#PID<0.198.0>, [mfa: {SampleWorker, :start_link, []}, size: 5]]}
But after Supervisor.init(children, opts) that list becomes item of a list
[[#PID<0.198.0>, [mfa: {SampleWorker, :start_link, []}, size: 5]]]}
and I believe init tries to call Pooly.Server.start_link/2 with that item as the only argument and offcourse it fails.
How can I fix that?

The new child_spec system normalized to only support ˋstart_link/1ˋ, unless you explicitly create a custom ˋchild_spec/1ˋ callback on the started module.
