server crashes when started over supervisor

So, i spent LOTS of time and still didn't find the answer.

I have simple tcp server in gen_server, which accepts messages via telnet and print them in console:

I start this in erlang console:

st_sup:start_link().

And get this:

Server name: st_server, port: 1055.
** exception exit: shutdown

This means, that supervisor shuts down server for some reason. If I start server by itself (st_server:start_link.) it works just fine.

So, the question is how to make this work without shutdowns?


At a glance, it's probably because the return value of st_server:start_link/1 is the return value of the call to io:format/2 .

This is fine when you call st_server:start_link() directly in the REPL, but the supervisor is probably expecting a return value more like {ok, Pid} .

You can fix this just by swapping the two lines in st_server:start_link/1 , so that it returns the value of the call to gen_server:start_link/4 :

start_link(Port) ->    
    io:format("Server name: ~w, port: ~w.~n", [?SERVER, Port]),
    gen_server:start_link({local, ?SERVER}, ?MODULE, [Port], []).

A strange value is also the supervisor's RestartStrategy which is set to {one_for_one,0,1} . This means that the supervisor will give up up after more than zero restarts in 1 second, in effect it will give up after the first crash by a child. Which is not usually not what you want a supervisor to do.
