server is up?
Is there a way to tell a gen_server: "supervisor has initialised all gen_servers, now you can send then messages"?
I have a worker gen_server whose job is to set up states of other gen_servers in his supervision tree. If I just start sending messages in init function of my configuration server, sometimes it gets {noproc, _}. I suppose that means that config server was to fast: he sent messages before supervisor had enough time to start all workers. I fixed that by putting timer:sleep(500) in config_server:init(), which ensures all gen_server had enough time to initialise, but this seems like a inelegant solution.
Is there a proper way to do this?
Return tuple with timeout 0 from init . Then immediately after it returns, handle_info(timeout, State) will be called. In handle_info make some call which won't return until the supervisor finishes initialization (eg supervisor:which_children ).
info(PlayerId) ->
Pid = case global:whereis_name(util:getRegName({?MODULE, PlayerId})) of
P when is_pid(P) ->
P;
_ ->
{ok, P} = player_sup:start_child(PlayerId),
P
end,
gen_server:call(Pid, info).
This is my case to handle this issue. This worker process is triggered only when it is requested.
in function init() call gen_server:cast(init, State) . message "init" will be first in message queue
