The granularity of mtime is surprisingly bad. Make the tests more robust
against this, and promote has_log back to a public method, now that we have a
few legitimate examples.
The tick event is a nasty compromise, left over from when we didn't have an
event loop. This is the first patch in a series that explores moving our
built-in addons to managing coroutines on the eventloop directly for periodic
tasks.
Temporarily disable config saving until we can look at this more closely.
Config saving should:
- Only happen when explicitly requested by the user
- Only save changed values
- Add a master.run_loop function. This encapsulates our run behaviour so that
it can be used by implementations that need to manage their own run loop (like urwid).
- Shift crash exit message to the common core. I'm not convinced we really need
this, but if we want it it should be centralised.
- Clean up an extra exception that can be thrown by asyncio itself on "dirty"
termination after a mitmproxy crash.
- Ignore the NotImplementedError raised by add_signal_handler on Windows.
- Entrypoints return an integer exit code, or None. Adjust our type annotations
and code to suit.
Fixes#3061
- The benchmark addon now manages setting up and tearing down the backend and
traffic processes itself.
- Use wrk instead of hey. I get more consistent results with this tool, and hey
shows a strange tail-latency bump that seems artificial.
- Make termination behaviour simpler. The bencmark revealed a bug where .done
events were not called if the proxy was shut down by an addon.
There are a few reasons for this. First, logs are now async, and can be called
at any time. Second, the event loop is thread local, so there can only ever be
one master per thread. These two things together completely obviate the need
for a handler context.
Now that logs are async, using this call is almost always a mistake. Signal
this by making it semi-private. The method may go away entirely down the track.
