A test case that just waits? Should fix the tests to not depend on the ordering...

@victorbjelkholm good call! Fixed by moving the preparation code to a before hook.

@pgte better to get rid of the after/before hooks we have and have function calls in the test cases that returns what you need. If all tests where shaped like this, we can run tests in parallel and just run one isolated test case if wanted.

In my case I need something to run once, not for every test.
In this case, I want to setup some switches, exchange some protocol-specific data, wait for the stats to compute, and then I can infer all the statistics are there.
@victorbjelkholm Any recommendations?

@victorbjelkholm changed to isolated tests for stats, would love your feedback.

This is gonna conflict if we run two test cases at the same time, is it possible to set the port to 0 and then later get it (if you need it) instead? Think you're not actually using the port in the test, so should work fine to be set to 0.

@victorbjelkholm good call, fixed!

Tests LGTM 👍

Looks Awesome 😄

@pgte really solid work here (and in record time!) 👏🏽Made some comments in what I think is a regression (protocolMuxing) and request for more tests.

This makes it look like options only exists in the context of passing peerBook. What about changing this to just a single options object and assert on its properties?

@diasdavid can do this, but will be a breaking API change..

Wait, I see that a peerBook is always required. The only optional argument should be options.

Isn't there an overload of setPeerInfo? I'm afraid that this might cause issues in the future. Is it needed?

Something is not correct here. Doing swarm.protocolMuxer(tag) is saying "After you get the conn encrypted, you can encrypt again". It should be for all the Protocols being handled and not just for one.

Note: I'm still reading through the PR and you might have changed something else.

It's the exact same behaviour as before, with the exception we're tracking the protocol tag for accounting purposes..

Still digesting the code but it seems that there is an assumption that all the switch.handle happen in the beginning and so you are locking the list of protocols we support.

The protocols is an object, which can get mutated later as the user adds more protocols.

Let's not get https:/libp2p/js-libp2p-switch/issues/239 even harder to fix :)

@diasdavid again, this was the same behaviour as before: switch.protocols also contained a mutable object with the protocol handlers... I'm just storing the protocols on that closure, but it's still a JS object that will get mutated, same as before..

Got it. Makes sense now thanks for explaining :)

We need tests for:

Clearing out previous stats from a peer (Rep mechanisms will need a reset)

Check what happens when a peer disconnects and connects again

Check when a peer disconnects and connects again from a different transport

@diasdavid Currently, peer disconnections imply losing the stats for that peer.
If you think that it's important to keep them around, we should impose a time limit so that I eventually becomes garbage collected...
@diasdavid thoughts?

Perhaps tracking the sessions and having them in a LRU cache?

@diasdavid good call, but I'm not going to put all of the sessions there, only once a peer disconnects..

pgte · 2018-02-22T15:04:55Z

I still have one bug to squash that I discovered this morning:
The base protocol (tcp, wbrtc, etc.) is not being accounted for because the peerInfo never resolves on those connections. I'm still trying to track this down..
