From 03751a64203b169cbf33b636b6d940ca6d414c31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 11:44:26 +0100 Subject: Fix some looping_call calls which were broken in #3604 It turns out that looping_call does check the deferred returned by its callback, and (at least in the case of client_ips), we were relying on this, and I broke it in #3604. Update run_as_background_process to return the deferred, and make sure we return it to clock.looping_call. --- synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py') diff --git a/synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py b/synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py index 9d820e44a6..ce678d5f75 100644 --- a/synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py +++ b/synapse/metrics/background_process_metrics.py @@ -151,13 +151,19 @@ def run_as_background_process(desc, func, *args, **kwargs): This should be used to wrap processes which are fired off to run in the background, instead of being associated with a particular request. + It returns a Deferred which completes when the function completes, but it doesn't + follow the synapse logcontext rules, which makes it appropriate for passing to + clock.looping_call and friends (or for firing-and-forgetting in the middle of a + normal synapse inlineCallbacks function). + Args: desc (str): a description for this background process type func: a function, which may return a Deferred args: positional args for func kwargs: keyword args for func - Returns: None + Returns: Deferred which returns the result of func, but note that it does not + follow the synapse logcontext rules.
