Shared context loose entries about sanic-plugin-toolkit HOT 5 CLOSED

I might have a culprint here, running Sanic with two processes, and now I have two entries randomly shifting when I list the context.

Thought the context was shared between the processes?

Hi @klausmyrseth
You're absolutely right, this is caused by running Sanic with two process workers.

Currently the SanicContext objects are not shared between processes. I'll put a note in the Readme to make that clear.

This is something I'd like to fix in an upcoming release, but unfortunately that is a feature that would add a large latency overhead to shared context objects. It would ruin some of our performance.

For now the best thing you can do is put a middleware somewhere near the start of your request to check if your entry is present in the shared context, and if not, re-initialise it on that process.

Hello, @ashleysommer Can not SanicContext objects be shared between processes, yet?

Hi @jonra1993
No, sorry Sanic-Plugin-Context cannot share objects between processes yet.

However, this month I released Sanic-Synchro-CTX that is a new Sanic plugin that allows you to share context objects between worker processes (using either Redis as a server or using native Python Sync Objects).

That plugin is not a Sanic-Plugin-Toolkit plugin, and might not play well with Sanic-Plugin-Toolkit.
However it does mean that I can probably merge that functionality into Sanic-Plugin-Toolkit in the next version.

Thanks @ashleysommer I am going to check the library you suggest
