This is some high impact stuff on the language and once it is in the language, it most likely cannot be taken away. The default stance has been “wait and see”

“module functors” are what you call “parametrized modules” <https://github.com/elm/compiler/issues/1039>

if you want to take a look at some of the discussions you can also search the old `elm-discuss` forum for “parametrized modules” or “module functors”

I'm having issues with ports not sending data back to elm. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I have no idea why.

Isaiah

the javascript code is clearly working, as evidenced by logging to the console, but it only sometimes successfully sends that data to elm. Could there be a race condition of some sort for setting up the subscriber? It seems to fail randomly
2019-04-06T13:53:03.625400
Isaiah

It turns out is *was* a race condition. I had to nest function calls inside of callbacks in the javascript to get it to sequence correctly. :see_no_evil: thanks for nothing javascript

I'm running into some weird behaviour when using `Decode.oneOf` within an event handler. When I'm using a value from the model within this decoder, not the correct value is used, but instead always the initial value when the app was started. I reduced it to <https://ellie-app.com/5bJXXF3gZBja1>. To observe this behavio...

Which is to say, I see the value in the textbox change, and the model.value change in the console.
2019-04-06T14:44:20.632200

Oh, hey, now I’m reproducing some of it. Hang on.

Oh, I see.

So, hypothesis:
2019-04-06T14:49:21.633400
Dede
elmlang
general
You are capturing (Value model.value) when you define your decoder when the view is first drawn. That gets baked into the click handler, because it’s evaluated when `view` is. It gets stale as you update model.value until `view` in its entirety gets called again.
2019-04-06T14:51:01.635000
Dede
elmlang
general
Hm, but then it's interesting that removing the `oneOf` fixes this :slightly_smiling_face: So, maybe this is a bug?
2019-04-06T14:52:26.635800
Manuela
elmlang

Yeah.
2019-04-06T14:54:18.636200

And it’s not totally consistent in reproducing for me.
2019-04-06T14:54:24.636500
Dede
elmlang

I suspect there’s something about the decoder that is fooling the vdom differ and leaving the old event handler in place or something.

I open the console, then i type something into the input field (such that the value is not "initial" anymore) then i click in the input field.

What do you see if you add something like this to the top of view? ``` let _ = Debug.log "In view: " model.value in ```
2019-04-06T15:03:03.645500

Uh, no `msg` in view, forget that part :wink:
2019-04-06T15:03:31.645800

This line logs the correct model.value
2019-04-06T15:04:09.646300
Manuela

but the event handler still uses the old one
2019-04-06T15:04:20.646600
Manuela

OK, what if you replace `(Value model.value)` with `(Value &lt;| Debug.log "handler" model.value)`?
2019-04-06T15:04:58.647100
Dede

value, not view.
2019-04-06T15:06:13.647600

yeah i think so too
2019-04-06T15:07:50.649600
Manuela

Do you see one instance of ValueChanged printed for every character you type, or is it batching?
2019-04-06T15:09:12.650000
Dede
elmlang

one for each character. also i just tried using the keyednode and now the issue is gone
2019-04-06T15:10:09.650500

(i used the model.value as the key)

has anyone else encountered weird race conditions in ports code?
2019-04-06T15:18:34.653900
Isaiah
elmlang

This is just absurd. Based on the console output, everything always happens in a sensible order, but randomly elm fails to receive data from the ports
2019-04-06T15:19:23.654700
Isaiah
elmlang
general
I haven’t heard of that one. Can you reduce to something shareable (Ellie?)
2019-04-06T15:36:49.655700
Dede
elmlang
general
It took a while, but I created a minimal example. and it seems that the problem has to do with initializing the subscriptions. I am initializing them at a later time when the user navigates to a certain part of the application instead of as soon as the bundle loads in the browser.
2019-04-06T16:32:50.658400
Isaiah
elmlang

I don't see why this would work differently, but it does
2019-04-06T16:33:10.658700
Isaiah
elmlang

I'm using an XMPP client library to build a chat client, and the chat history is what fails to load through ports because of this race condition, and also causes any incoming messages to be dropped at the port interface, but as soon as I send a message out myself, it starts working. That must be triggering some kind of...
2019-04-06T16:36:43.660700
Isaiah
elmlang
general
Are you sure? That might be expected behavior, however difficult. There are tricky race conditions with subscriptions.
2019-04-06T16:58:53.661700
Ashton
elmlang
general
I think, sending out cmds, updating the dom, and subscribing/unsubscribing are all synced on animation frames for the most part.
2019-04-06T17:00:00.662800
Ashton
elmlang
general
This is just code for network requests, no dom
2019-04-06T17:00:47.664100
Isaiah
elmlang
general
Yeah, but it could still be synced to the animation frame. Im not sure.
2019-04-06T17:01:32.664800
Ashton
elmlang
general
I havent checked this question explicitly, but my expectation isnt that, when the new subscriptions are set, they arent simply set right there on the spot, but instead that the new subscriptions are diffed from the old ones next animation frame, and correct ones are unsubscribed, and the new ones are newly subscribed.
2019-04-06T17:03:04.666300
Ashton
elmlang

but it works sometimes on on the initial page load, randomly
2019-04-06T17:04:32.667500
Isaiah
elmlang
general
I wonder if if would make sense to have this be a completely separate application that is loaded simultaneously alongside the main application and embedded in the page in a node
2019-04-06T17:13:16.668500
Isaiah

there is little data shared between them, just some initialization values

I built my current application as one large program with multiple "screens", including a login/register screen, a lobby, and the main game screen. The chat application lives inside the game screen currently.

Isaiah

That debugger one is annoying! If the project will build with the debug flag on you could use Debug.log to print out the current Msg/Model at the top of your main update function. If it won't build at all with the debug flag on I don't know a good solution :-/
2019-04-06T17:43:56.673000

I use Debug.log to print out every message in the console already. I just got used to it after a while
2019-04-06T17:49:33.673200
Isaiah
elmlang

<@Augustus> you can use `Debug.log` without the `--debug` flag - you just can't use `--optimize`

Huong
elmlang

A structural fix for things breaking when compiling with `--debug` is in the works, for what it's worth. It requires some fairly invasive changes, so it's being batched with a bunch other features/improvements/fixes that benefit from the changes that need to be made.

But maybe I’m missing something else.
2019-04-06T22:53:24.677400
Kris

Ah, okay. So, fragments are not the ability to return an array, but the ability for the VDOM to treat an array of nodes as a single entity (virtual node); for example, can you key the list?
