This fixes a rare issue where the client subscription forwarding loop
would attempt send on the subscription's channel after Unsubscribe has
returned, leading to a panic if the subscription channel was already
closed by the user. Example:
sub, _ := client.Subscribe(..., channel, ...)
sub.Unsubscribe()
close(channel)
The race occurred because Unsubscribe called quitWithServer to tell the
forwarding loop to stop sending on sub.channel, but did not wait for the
loop to actually come down. This is fixed by adding an additional channel
to track the shutdown, on which Unsubscribe now waits.
Fixes#22322
* rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters
There is no technial reason for this restriction because package reflect
can create values of any type. Requiring parameters and return values to
be exported causes a lot of noise in package exports.
* rpc: fix staticcheck warnings
* rpc: improve codec abstraction
rpc.ServerCodec is an opaque interface. There was only one way to get a
codec using existing APIs: rpc.NewJSONCodec. This change exports
newCodec (as NewFuncCodec) and NewJSONCodec (as NewCodec). It also makes
all codec methods non-public to avoid showing internals in godoc.
While here, remove codec options in tests because they are not
supported anymore.
* p2p/simulations: use github.com/gorilla/websocket
This package was the last remaining user of golang.org/x/net/websocket.
Migrating to the new library wasn't straightforward because it is no
longer possible to treat WebSocket connections as a net.Conn.
* vendor: delete golang.org/x/net/websocket
* rpc: fix godoc comments and run gofmt
New APIs added:
client.RegisterName(namespace, service) // makes service available to server
client.Notify(ctx, method, args...) // sends a notification
ClientFromContext(ctx) // to get a client in handler method
This is essentially a rewrite of the server-side code. JSON-RPC
processing code is now the same on both server and client side. Many
minor issues were fixed in the process and there is a new test suite for
JSON-RPC spec compliance (and non-compliance in some cases).
List of behavior changes:
- Method handlers are now called with a per-request context instead of a
per-connection context. The context is canceled right after the method
returns.
- Subscription error channels are always closed when the connection
ends. There is no need to also wait on the Notifier's Closed channel
to detect whether the subscription has ended.
- Client now omits "params" instead of sending "params": null when there
are no arguments to a call. The previous behavior was not compliant
with the spec. The server still accepts "params": null.
- Floating point numbers are allowed as "id". The spec doesn't allow
them, but we handle request "id" as json.RawMessage and guarantee that
the same number will be sent back.
- Logging is improved significantly. There is now a message at DEBUG
level for each RPC call served.
Notifier tracks whether subscription are 'active'. A subscription
becomes active when the subscription ID has been sent to the client. If
the client sends notifications in the request handler before the
subscription becomes active they are dropped. The tests tried to work
around this problem by always waiting 5s before sending the first
notification.
Fix it by buffering notifications until the subscription becomes active.
This speeds up all subscription tests.
Also fix TestSubscriptionMultipleNamespaces to wait for three messages
per subscription instead of six. The test now finishes just after all
notifications have been received and doesn't hit the 30s timeout anymore.
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
