Description
Currently observation values and not observation objects are being passed to ignore
. This means it's not possible to ignore transient exceptions that occur in either candidate or control. When an exception occurs, nil
is passed as value to ignore
for that behavior.
Example:
e = Scientist::Experiment.new "foo"
e.use { rand > 0.001 ? 42 : raise SomeConnectionTimedOut.new }
e.try { rand > 0.001 ? 42 : raise SomeConnectionTimedOut.new }
e.ignore do |control, candidate|
# control/candidate is nil if exception occurred in that behavior
end
It would be great if ignore
received an observation object instead of only the observation value. That would allow examining the exception value.
Example:
# Proposed behavior! This is currently not possible.
ignore do |control, candidate|
control.exception.is_a?(SomeConnectionTimedOut) ||
candidate.exception.is_a?(SomeConnectionTimedOut)
end
I currently work around the above issue by rescuing inside try
/use
and return a sentinel value -- it's a terrible hack though. Would you accept a PR implementing this?
