Hi Danny,

I don't have time to do a proper review, but just one comment:

Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@HIDDEN> writes:

> +             marionette))

How is that better than:

    (test-assert "file system monitor running"
      (marionette-eval
       '(begin
         (use-modules (gnu services herd))
         (start-service 'monitor-file-system))
       marionette))

'start-service' should return #f if the service fails to start.

Cheers,
Cl=C3=A9ment

Nice!  Should we call it =E2=80=98fswatch-monitoring-service=E2=80=99, sinc=
e there may
be other tools to achieve similar results?

Perhaps add a @uref to the fswatch home page.

It would seem more natural to me for =E2=80=98handlers=E2=80=99 to be singu=
lar,
=E2=80=98handler=E2=80=99.  Also I=E2=80=99d use a gexp there (though in th=
is particular example
it doesn=E2=80=99t make any difference):

  (file-system-monitoring-configuration
    (monitored-files '("/foo/bar"))
    (handler #~(lambda (file whatever)
                 (format #t "~a modified!~%" file))))

The =E2=80=98sleep=E2=80=99 call looks suspicious.  :-)

IIUC, the service stops (and is respawned) every time an even occurs, is
that right?

Can=E2=80=99t we instead remove =E2=80=98--one-event=E2=80=99 and pass fswa=
tch a script to run?
In that case, we=E2=80=99d pass it something along these lines:

  #$(scheme-file "event-handler.scm"
                 #~(for-each (lambda (handler) =E2=80=A6) =E2=80=A6))

WDYT?

So here if we changes =E2=80=98handlers=E2=80=99 to =E2=80=98handler=E2=80=
=99, we could do:

  (apply compose (map file-system-monitoring-entry-handler entries))

Thanks,

Hi Ludo!

Its use is mostly to allow other Guix services to extend it in order to
do stuff on file change (for example restarting a service; starting the
user shepherd - the latter is what caused me to write this).

I was very much tempted to call it "fswatch-monitoring-service", but that's
really an implementation detail - what it does is provide file change
notification services to other Guix services.

It's not meant to be a generic fswatch service.  I've not known fswatch
before writing this service - so it's pretty likely that there are tons
more features an fswatch user could want to use which the service doesn't
provide.  Also, fswatch isn't really meant to be used as a daemon AFAIK,
so we are not providing fswatch to the user in the way it's supposed to be
used by him.

> The =E2=80=98sleep=E2=80=99 call looks suspicious.  :-)

Pretty suspicious :)

Right now, the service has only a very narrow usecase where rapid
notifications is not something one wants.  On the contrary, both rapid
notifications and (in a pathological case where a watch couldn't be
registered - see the "/does_not_exist" workaround) rapid fswatch invocations
would waste (potentially enormous amounts of) cpu time and would
forkbomb fswatch, shepherd and/or worse things.  On the other hand, using
fswatch like we do now causes us to lose events.  But so does starting fswa=
tch
later than the clients.  And most fswatch backends (for example the Linux o=
ne)
can lose events anyway (since the kernel buffer is limited - Linux will then
drop events).  That's why it always calls the handlers when restarting - ju=
st
in case.

Yes.  It's very simple :)

> Can=E2=80=99t we instead remove =E2=80=98--one-event=E2=80=99 and pass fs=
watch a script to run?

Not to my knowledge.  It would be nice...

What the stuff here does is it waits for events to accumulate in the time
given by "-l" (that is called a "batch" in fswatch).

The first such batch which contains at least one event will cause fswatch
to exit.
Otherwise fswatch will continue waiting (blocking) until the above happens.

It's an explicitly supported way to use fswatch (because it's very resilien=
t).

The service collects all the files from the system into one fswatch
invocation - it's very much supposed to be a tripwire and not something
regularily used.  It also collects all the handlers (regardless of monitored
file) into one handler to be called.

I'd like to, but it doesn't support it.

What would be possible is to pipe something at the end (i.e. use open-pipe)=
, but
I've had bad experiences with pipes buffering too much in the past and I'd =
rather
not hang the entire thing by some stupid buffering or parsing problem.

That said, we could try in a future version (after some serious testing).
But I think that trying to use pipes for us to be remote-controlled by
fswatch it will not work correctly if fswatch doesn't exit.

It would work with a pty, but that's kinda... convoluted.  Also, forkpty is=
 not
available in Guile.

There's libfswatch but no Guile bindings yet.  Would be cool to have those
because fswatch is cross platform (and it has C bindings).

OK that works, but I=E2=80=99m not very comfortable with the approach: norm=

Another option would be to use Direvent, which supports this and more,
or maybe =E2=80=98inotifywatch=E2=80=99 from inotify-tools though it seems =
to be quite
similar to fswatch feature-wise.

WDYT?

Yeah well, file change notification is surprisingly crappy - especially when
you want it to *always* work.  On the other hand typical UNIX :)

I agree.  In the end it would be nicer to get the pipe thing to work or
better yet to have libfswatch bindings or better yet use direvent, aha.

> Another option would be to use Direvent, which supports this and more,

Aha, that looks as if it's intended exactly for this use case!  Nice!

I'll try that one next.

inotifywatch is Linux-specific.  If we want Guix to support the Hurd, BSD,
Windows then it shouldn't be using Linux-specific things.  Also, it uses
the same stuff as fswatch under the hood so it has the same limitations.

> Another option would be to use Direvent

I've read through direvent 5.1 now and:

(1) It supports only watching entire directories.  OK I guess, especially
since the client can specify basename filters to be applied, so if you
want to watch individual files you can, using a strange configuration
(something like: path $(dirname $file), file $(escape-regex $(basename $fil=
e))).

(2) It doesn't notify the client on inotify queue overflow.  *shakes head*
(genev_xlat does not translate IN_Q_OVERFLOW)

(fswatch does notify the client on inotify queue overflow)

Whoever doesn't handle inotify queue overflow uses the kernel API incorrect=
ly -
it's not going to be reliable.

Hello Danny,

It seems that inotify and reliability don=E2=80=99t go together well anyway:

  http://wingolog.org/archives/2018/05/21/correct-or-inotify-pick-one

So I don=E2=80=99t know if what you describe is a showstopper for Direvent
specifically, or if it=E2=80=99s just that things aren=E2=80=99t going to w=
ork
=E2=80=9Creliably=E2=80=9D anyway.

WDYT?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
