iii-sdk 0.22.1-alpha.25 Rust register_worker III_WORKER_NAME source

💡 Result:

In the iii-sdk (including version 0.22.1-alpha.25), the III_WORKER_NAME environment variable is used to automatically propagate the worker name to the SDKs [1][2]. When running a managed worker (e.g., via iii-worker), the system automatically injects the name defined in the configuration (e.g., config.yaml) into the environment as III_WORKER_NAME [1][3]. The Rust SDK (along with Node.js and Python SDKs) is designed to default its reported worker name to this environment variable if no explicit name is provided in the InitOptions [1]. Key details regarding this behavior: - Automatic Propagation: If your worker code does not explicitly set a name in the InitOptions, the SDK will automatically read the value from III_WORKER_NAME [1]. - Precedence: If you explicitly set a worker name within your code—typically by passing a WorkerMetadata object with a name field into the InitOptions passed to register_worker—that explicit name will take precedence over the III_WORKER_NAME environment variable [4][1]. - Usage: This mechanism ensures that workers match their configuration entry names rather than defaulting to generic identifiers like hostname:pid, which helps maintain accurate worker status and discovery within the iii engine [1][5]. To explicitly set a name in Rust if you need to override or verify it, you can use the following pattern [4][6]: use iii_sdk::{register_worker, InitOptions, WorkerMetadata}; let worker = register_worker( "ws://localhost:49134", InitOptions { metadata: Some(WorkerMetadata { name: "my-custom-worker-name".into,..Default::default }),..Default::default },);

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/iii-hq/iii "III_WORKER_NAME" "register_worker" Rust

💡 Result:

The term III_WORKER_NAME is an environment variable or configuration identifier used within the III (iii-hq) ecosystem to identify worker processes [1]. In this context, the register_worker function is used to register a worker with the III engine [1]. When a worker process starts—or when a CLI command such as iii trigger is executed—the system uses register_worker to establish the worker's identity and metadata within the engine [1]. Key details regarding this process include: - Worker Identification: Worker names are typically configured to allow the engine to track status and metadata [1]. If a specific name is not provided, the SDK may apply fallback naming conventions [1]. - CLI Usage: When using iii trigger, the command explicitly manages worker registration to avoid identity collisions with managed worker containers [1]. For instance, CLI-based workers are often identified with specific prefixes (e.g., iii-cli:trigger) to distinguish them from standard service workers [1]. - Telemetry: The registration flow is integrated with heartbeat and telemetry mechanisms, ensuring the engine can monitor the state and usage of workers [1]. If you are developing or debugging a worker in the III environment, ensure that your environment variables are correctly set and that any custom CLI invocations adhere to the registration expectations defined in the engine's telemetry and worker modules [1].

Replace the global environment mutation with a per-registration worker-name override.

register_worker starts an SDK connection thread, and iii-sdk may access the process environment from that thread. Therefore, std::env::remove_var after project_iii starts can cause undefined behavior on non-Windows targets. InitOptions.metadata cannot override III_WORKER_NAME in iii-sdk 0.22.1-alpha.25; add a per-registration override instead.

In `@queue/src/main.rs` at line 119, Replace the std::env::remove_var call in
register_worker with a per-registration worker-name override passed through the
SDK registration configuration, ensuring the SDK connection thread receives the
intended name without mutating the process environment. Preserve existing
registration behavior and avoid global environment changes.
