kbrw / exos Goto Github PK

For a phoenix project, I have defined a GenServer implementation using exos in my lib/projectname folder in order to connect to an external program. One of my controllers in web/controller sends it data and gets a reply synchronously. However, I am not sure whether the GenServer is being killed after each request and I am worried about race conditions in production. According to this, the information in web/ is reloaded per request. I don't have a good way of testing whether the GenServer is being killed since I am calling it in a similar manner with the example applications i.e. define it in one part of the module and call it via an api: 4==Account.get() . Another question is, is it logical to spawn a GenServer per phoenix request? Is it simpler to use something like e.g. Porcelain to interface with external programs if all the GenServer does is to handle synchronous calls etc.?

Published version on hex is 1.0.1 which raise warnings when compiling with elixir 1.4, while master branch not.

-> hex version should be updated

Using the :no_init option gives timeout errors that are only fixed if :no_init is replaced with []

update version?
