Reconnecting
HomeServerApi notifies Reconnector of network call failure
Reconnector listens for online/offline event
Reconnector polls /versions with a RetryDelay (implemented as ExponentialRetryDelay, also used by SendScheduler if no retry_after_ms is given)
Reconnector emits an event when sync and message sending should retry
Sync listen to Reconnector
Sync notifies when the catchup sync has happened
Reconnector has state:
- disconnected (and retrying at x seconds from timestamp)
- reconnecting (call /versions, and if successful /sync)
- connected
Reconnector has a method to try to connect now
SessionStatus can be:
- disconnected (and retrying at x seconds from timestamp)
- reconnecting
- connected (and syncing)
- doing catchup sync
- sending x / y messages
rooms should report how many messages they have queued up, and each time they sent one?
SendReporter (passed from Session to Room, passed down to SendQueue), with:
- setPendingEventCount(roomId, count). This should probably use the generic Room updating mechanism, e.g. a pendingMessageCount on Room that is updated. Then session listens for this in
_roomUpdateCallback.
Session listens to Reconnector to update it's status, but perhaps we wait to send messages until catchup sync is done
TODO
-
DONE: finish (Base)ObservableValue
- put in own file
- add waitFor (won't this leak if the promise never resolves?)
- decide whether we want to inherit (no?)
-
DONE: cleanup Reconnector with recent changes, move generic code, make imports work
-
DONE: add SyncStatus as ObservableValue of enum in Sync
-
DONE: cleanup SessionContainer
-
DONE: move all imports to non-default
-
DONE: remove #ifdef
-
DONE: move EventEmitter to utils
-
DONE: move all lower-cased files
-
DONE: change main.js to pass in a creation function of a SessionContainer instead of everything it is replacing
-
DONE: adjust BrawlViewModel, SessionPickViewModel and LoginViewModel to use a SessionContainer
-
show load progress in LoginView/SessionPickView and do away with loading screen
-
DONE: rename SessionsStore to SessionInfoStorage
-
make sure we've renamed all *State enums and fields to *Status
-
add pendingMessageCount prop to SendQueue and Room, aggregate this in Session
-
add completedFirstSync to Sync, so we can check if the catchup or initial sync is still in progress
-
update SyncStatusViewModel to use reconnector.connectionStatus, sync.completedFirstSync, session.syncToken (is initial sync?) and session.pendingMessageCount to show these messages:
- disconnected, retrying in x seconds. [try now].
- reconnecting...
- doing catchup sync
- syncing, sending x messages
- syncing
perhaps we will want to put this as an ObservableValue on the SessionContainer ?
NO: When connected, syncing and not sending anything, just hide the thing for now? although when you send messages it will just pop in and out all the time.
-
see if it makes sense for SendScheduler to use the same RetryDelay as Reconnector
-
DONE: finally adjust all file names to their class names? e.g. camel case
-
see if we want more dependency injection
- for classes from outside sdk
- for internal sdk classes? probably not yet
thought: do we want to retry a request a couple of times when we can't reach the server before handing it over to the reconnector? Not that some requests may succeed while others may fail, like when matrix.org is really slow, some requests may timeout and others may not. Although starting a service like sync while it is still succeeding should be mostly fine. Perhaps we can pass a canRetry flag to the HomeServerApi that if we get a ConnectionError, we will retry. Only when the flag is not set, we'd call the Reconnector. The downside of this is that if 2 parts are doing requests, 1 retries and 1 does not, and the both requests fail, the other part of the code would still be retrying when the reconnector already kicked in. The HomeServerApi should perhaps tell the retryer if it should give up if a non-retrying request already caused the reconnector to kick in?
