How to get process pid in gjs? - gjs

What I really want to do is call getpid(), but there doesn't seem to be any sane way to do that in gjs. The best I've been able to come up with is:
// There's got to be a better way to get our pid in gjs?
let credentials = new Gio.Credentials();
let pid = credentials.get_unix_pid();
And that works, but it's horrible. Is there a better way?

There is currently no other way than that.
Ideas for future versions of GJS include a process object compatible with the one in Node.

How to get Axon event-identifier from the event-store

Just a short question here...
by using Axon, we know that AggregateLifecycle#apply(Object) will be doing the event-sourced for us which under the hood going to persist our event into our event-store.
With regards to that matter, how to get the event-identifier (not the aggregate identifier) once we call that particular apply method ?
Thanks
Based on your another answer, let me suggest you a way to follow.
The MessageIdentifier as used by AxonFramework (AF) is nothing more than an UUID generated for each Message you create.
Since you only need to reuse that info, you can pretty much get it from the Message while handling it. To make things easier for you, Axon provides a MessageIdentifierParameterResolver meaning you can simply use it in any #MessageHandler of you (of course, I am assuming you are using Spring as well).
Example:
#EventHandler
public void handle(Event eventToBeForwarded, #MessageIdentifier String messageIdentifier) {
// forward the event to another broker using the given `messageIdentifier`
}
Hope that helps you and make things clear!

Register callback in Autofac and build container again in the callback

I have a dotnet core application.
My Startup.cs registers types/implementations in Autofac.
One of my registrations needs previous access to a service.
var containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();
containerBuilder.RegisterSettingsReaders(); // this makes available a ISettingsReader<string> that I can use to read my appsettings.json
containerBuilder.RegisterMyInfrastructureService(options =>
{
options.Username = "foo" //this should come from appsettings
});
containerBuilder.Populate(services);
var applicationContainer = containerBuilder.Build();
The dilemma is, by the time I have to .RegisterMyInfrastructureService I need to have available the ISettingsReader<string> that was registered just before (Autofac container hasn't been built yet).
I was reading about registering with callback to execute something after the autofac container has been built. So I could do something like this:
builder.RegisterBuildCallback(c =>
{
var stringReader = c.Resolve<ISettingsReader<string>>();
var usernameValue = stringReader.GetValue("Username");
//now I have my username "foo", but I want to continue registering things! Like the following:
containerBuilder.RegisterMyInfrastructureService(options =>
{
options.Username = usernameValue
});
//now what? again build?
});
but the problem is that after I want to use the service not to do something like starting a service or similar but to continue registering things that required the settings I am now able to provide.
Can I simply call again builder.Build() at the end of my callback so that the container is simply rebuilt without any issue? This seems a bit strange because the builder was already built (that's why the callback was executed).
What's the best way to deal with this dilemma with autofac?
UPDATE 1: I read that things like builder.Update() are now obsolete because containers should be immutable. Which confirms my suspicion that building a container, adding more registrations and building again is not a good practice.
In other words, I can understand that using a register build callback should not be used to register additional things. But then, the question remain: how to deal with these issues?
This discussion issue explains a lot including ways to work around having to update the container. I'll summarize here, but there is a lot of information in that issue that doesn't make sense to try and replicate all over.
Be familiar with all the ways you can register components and pass parameters. Don't forget about things like resolved parameters, modules that can dynamically put parameters in place, and so on.
Lambda registrations solve almost every one of these issues we've seen. If you need to register something that provides configuration and then, later, use that configuration as part of a different registration - lambdas will be huge.
Consider intermediate interfaces like creating an IUsernameProvider that is backed by ISettingsReader<string>. The IUsernameProvider could be the lambda (resolve some settings, read a particular one, etc.) and then the downstream components could take an IUsernameProvider directly.
These sorts of questions are hard to answer because there are a lot of ways to work around having to build/rebuild/re-rebuild the container if you take advantage of things like lambdas and parameters - there's no "best practice" because it always depends on your app and your needs.
Me, personally, I will usually start with the lambda approach.

Where did LoaderService go?

Upgrading AngleSharp from 0.9.6 to 0.9.9 I have this line of code no longer compiling:
return configuration.With(LoaderService(new[] { requester }));
It complains that LoaderService does not exist in the current context. So what happened to LoaderService? Is there a replacement? Does it still exist but just somewhere else?
Good question. Sorry for being late to the party, but even though you may have solved your problem someone else is having a hard time figuring it out.
LoaderService was essentially just a helper to create a loader. But having a service for anything creating a little thing would be overkill and not scale much. Also AngleSharp.Core would need to define all these. So, instead a generic mechanism was introduced, which allows registering such "creator services" via Func<IBrowsingContext, TService>.
However, to solve your piece of code I guess the following line would do the trick:
return configuration.WithDefaultLoader(requesters: requester);
This registers the default loader creator services (one for documents, one for resources inside documents) with the default options (options involve some middleware etc.).
Under the hood (besides some other things) the following is happening:
// just one example, config.Filter is created based on the passed in options
return configuration.With<IDocumentLoader>(ctx => new DocumentLoader(ctx, config.Filter));

Get an array from SpookyJs to Meteor

After a lot of hard work, my SpookyJS script works as I should and I got my spoils of war, an array of values I want to use to query my Collection in my Meteor app, but I have a huge problem.
I can't find a way to call any Meteor specific methods from spooky...
So my code is like this for the spooky.on function:
spooky.on('fun', function (courses) {
console.log(courses);
// Meteor.call('edxResult', courses); // doesn't work...
});
The console.log gives me the result I want:
[ 'course-v1:MITx+6.00.2x_3+1T2015',
'HarvardX/CS50x3/2015',
'course-v1:LinuxFoundationX+LFS101x.2+1T2015',
'MITx/6.00.1x_5/1T2015' ]
What I need is a way to call a Meteor.method with courses as my argument or a way to get access to the array in the current Meteor.method, after spookyjs finished it's work (Sadly I have no idea how to check whether spooky is finished)
My last idea would be to give the Meteor.method a callback function and store the array in the session or something, but that sounds like extremly bad design, there has to be a better way, I hope.
I am extremly proud of my little ghost, so any help to get it the last few pieces over the finish line would be extremly appricated.

Flex/Flash: capture 'trace' in code?

In Flash/Flex, is it possible to capture the result of 'trace' in code?
So, for example, if one part of the code calls trace("foo"), I'd like to automatically capture the string "foo" and pass it to some other function.
Edit: I'm not interested in trying to use trace instead of a proper logging framework… I want to write a plugin for FlexUnit, so when a test fails it can say something like: "Test blah failed. Here is the output: ... traced text ...".
Edit 2: I only want to capture the results of trace. Or, in other words, even though my code uses a proper logging framework, I want to handle gracefully code that's still using trace for logging.
As far as I know it's impossible to do it externally, google brings up no results. Have you considered creating a variable for the output and then adding that to the log, eg:
var outputtext = "text";
trace(outputtext);
// log outputtext here
Disregard if it isn't feasible, but I can't think of any other way.
However you can do it internally, if it's just for development purposes: http://broadcast.artificialcolors.com/index.php?c=1&more=1&pb=1&tb=1&title=logging_flash_trace_output_to_a_text_fil
If you want to write traces to a log, you can just use the Debug version of Flash Player and tell it to log traces.
I have a Debug.write method that sends the passed messages over a LocalConnection which I use that instead of trace. My requirement is to be able to capture the debug statements even when the SWF is running out of the authoring environment, but you can use this method to capture the trace messages.
As far as I understood you don't want to use logging, which is of course the right way to do it.
So, you can simply create a Static class with method trace, and call this method from anywhere in the application, that's how you will get all traces to one place, then could do what ever you want with the trace string before printing it to console.
Another way is to create bubbling trace event and dispatch it whenever you want to trace message, then add listener to STAGE for it and catch all events...
Hope its help
I would suggest looking through the source for the swiz framework. They use the flex internal logLogger app-wide and use best practices in a good majority of their code.
