component._stopping attribute never cleared about autobahn-python HOT 6 OPEN

yes indeed: the attribute is initially set here

and before stopping starts it is set here

but it isn't reset once the stopping has finished (the component session left)

from autobahn-python.

I should note that even if the attribute would be reset correctly, you can't start the component again anyways, so the component object is for the bin, and the value of the attribute of a finished component is questionable .. in a way

Why i can not restart a component ?
That's what i do in my code and it seems to work or i missed something

Why i can not restart a component ?

as far as I see, there is no public API to restart

That's what i do in my code and it seems to work or i missed something

@meejah any hints from you side, is component supposed to be restartable? if so, how?

from autobahn-python.

True, it is not a plublic API

    joined = asyncio.Event()

    @comp.on_join
    def _(session, details):
        comp.session = session
        joined.set()

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    run_cb = autobahn.wamp.component._run(loop, comp)
    await joined.wait()

For me it is useful when you registered plenty of services but you just want disconnect/connect a component

It's been a while since I've thought about Component ;) but I don't believe I considered re-starting.

The "state-machine" of Component is basically a one-way trip towards "done" currently .. although because clients have to allow the possibility of re-connect, it could certainly be possible to make "done -> start" a valid thing to do.

I'm not clear on the use-case: is it just to dis/re-connect? Or I guess, what does "re-starting" a component mean exactly?
