How does it behave when referring to an item that had never existed in the first place? |
Enumerable and predicate methods will now behave better when they refer to stale proxies - filtering methods will just remove them. I run into this occasionally when I have multiple rules firing, and some of them are adding or removing items - and calling items.locations would raise a NoMethodError for #location? due to a race condition. This should no longer happen - it will just ignore the now-stale items. Signed-off-by: Cody Cutrer <[email protected]>
If a user keeps a ref to an item, and that item disappears, calling a method on that item will now raise a helpful StaleProxyError, instead of a NoMethodError on nil The proxy code was significantly refactored, and Thing proxies will also inherit the same stale proxy handling. I also removed the $things registry lookup on every access of a thing, using the same event subscriber mechanism as Item. I also moved several methods from GenericItem to Item, so that Proxy can detect that those methods should exist even for dummy/stale items. Signed-off-by: Cody Cutrer <[email protected]>

Exactly as before - it depends on the context. If it's a context that we're expecting an item (and thus dummy item creation is enabled), it will just create the item proxy, even though an item doesn't exist. In other contexts, it will still raise an error. |
