System.Diagnostic Tracing not working with modules added through autofac.config - configuration

I need help with the Autofac.Configuration extension!
We user Autofac and Autofac.Configuration to add all dependencied to our program. Additionally we use the system.diagnositcs Tracing to Log Methode-Calls, etc (the usual).
Now, we only recently started to use the Autofac.Configuration extension. Until then all messages were written to the output file just as expected. However every class that is only added via the configuration file will not be logged at all. (They do work fine in general, just the logging is not working!)
This is what our configuration file looks like:
"components": [
{
"type": "MyClass, MyAssembly",
"services": [
{
"type": "MyInterface, MyInterfaceAssembly"
}
],
"instanceScope": "singleinstance"
},...
This is what our Tracer-Calls look like:
private static readonly TraceSource Tracer = new TraceSource("MyCustomName", SourceLevels.Error);
...
Tracer.TraceInformation($"SomeMessage {someInput}");
Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Or is this a bug in the Autofac.Configuration extension?

Autofac.Configuration doesn't do anything at all with tracing. If you search through the source there's not even a reference to tracing anywhere in there.
My guess is that something else has happened. Things I'd look at in your shoes:
Error in conversion to configuration: Did I forget to register a class that used to be registered? Did I register all the same parameters and everything that used to be code? Anything at all that's different or that I might have missed?
Unrelated changes: Did I do something else while I was converting to use configuration? Was there other refactoring taking place? Did I pull from the main branch into my task branch and get changes from someone else that may be affecting me?
Unfortunately, you didn't include a minimal reproducible example so there's no way anyone can really help troubleshoot here. However, I can 100% guarantee that the tracing isn't failing due to any bug in the Autofac.Configuration module. It will be something else - either an error in the JSON configuration you've created or some other unrelated change that has occurred.

How to correctly target "resolutions" on json and yarn(fixing vulnerabilities)

So I was trying to solve the vulnerabilities of the dependencies in a nuxt project. I am currently working with yarn, but didn't have to do this before, so I was doing a research about how to do, and i read about "resolutions" declaration on the json, so you can target the dependency package directly to try to avoid to break the application(just in case). Point is I ran
yarn audit
So I got the list of 20, from which 4 are marked as "high". Example:
So on my json resolutions, I wrote this:
"resolutions": {
"slice-machine-ui/*/trim-newlines": "3.0.1",
"nuxt/*/glob-parent": "5.1.2",
"nuxt/*/postcss":"8.2.13",
"nuxt/*/nth-check":"2.0.1",
"webpack/*/glob-parent":"5.1.2",
"jquery/*/jquery":"3.5.0",
"slice-machine-ui/*/node-fetch": "2.6.7"
}
After running the yarn install, I got that just one was solved, from 20. So is still 19 appearing on the list, so means I might be doing something wrong. Also in the example i found about this topic, they are using this "*" but no explanation why, or if I need this for all. Can someone help me to clarify this?

Correct way to pass runtime configuration to elixir processes

I'm trying to deploy an app to production and getting a little confused by environment and application variables and what is happening at compile time vs runtime.
In my app, I have a genserver process that requires a token to operate. So I use config/releases.exs to set the token variable at runtime:
# config/releases.exs
import Config
config :my_app, :my_token, System.fetch_env!("MY_TOKEN")
Then I have a bit of code that looks a bit like this:
defmodule MyApp.SomeService do
use SomeBehaviour, token: Application.get_env(:my_app, :my_token),
other_config: :stuff
...
end
In production the genserver process (which does some http stuff) gives me 403 errors suggesting the token isn't there. So can I clarify, is the use keyword getting evaluated at compile time (in which case the application environment doest exist yet)?
If so, what is the correct way of getting runtime environment variables in to a service like this. Is it more correct to define the config in application.ex when starting the process? eg
children = [
{MyApp.SomeService, [
token: Application.get_env(:my_app, :my_token),
other_config: :stuff
]}
...
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
I may have answered my own questions here, but would be helpful to get someone who knows what they're doing confirm and point me in the right way. Thanks
elixir has two stages: compilation and runtime, both written in Elixir itself. To clearly understand what happens when one should figure out, that everything is macro and Elixir, during compilation stage, expands these macros until everything is expanded. That AST comes to runtime.
In your example, use SomeBehaviour, foo: :bar is implicitly calling SomeBehaviour.__using__/1 macro. To expand the AST, it requires the argument (keyword list) to be expanded as well. Hence, Application.get_env(:my_app, :my_token) call happens in compile time.
There are many possibilities to move it to runtime. If you are the owner of SomeBehaviour, make it accept the pair {:my_app, :my_token} and call Application.get_env/2 somewhere from inside it.
Or, as you suggested, pass it as a parameter to children; this code belongs to function body, meaning it won’t be attempted to expand during compilation stage, but would rather be passed as AST to the resulting BEAM to be executed in runtime.

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'define' on 'CustomElementRegistry': this name has already been used with this registry

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'define' on 'CustomElementRegistry': this name has already been used with this registry
at http://127.0.0.1:8000/components/#polymer/polymer/lib/elements/dom-module.js:175:16
Tried deleting node-modules and package-lock and reinstalling did not work.
this error is due to a custom element tag-name being registered which is already registered; to fix simply check that an element by this name hasn't already been registered. This example solution checks to see if something is already registered using the existing API and if not, registers the given Class (inheriting from/extending HTMLElement--at some point):
customElements.get('the-element') || customElements.define('the-element', HTMLTheElement);
For more on the API see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/CustomElementRegistry
most/mature libraries address this problem and those that don't, or are mangled by package and build process complexities can have it pop up; in most cases either updating to a current version, migrating to Lit (https://lit.dev) or patching the problem somehow provides a path to a solution; note the simpler solutions are far easier to maintain--as can be seen in the conflation of npm, polymer over the actual error in the original question; the Polymer project became lit-html and LitElement, and recently rebranded as "Lit" (and still includes these lit-things). Professionally I'm migrating away from npm and Nodejs to Deno with the aim of generally resolve the many problems related to npm and tooling insecurity and complexity, however this answer provides a more direct solution (understand the problem and fix directly, or update to the relevant latest solution which includes this somehow).
Well, this worked for me, with no Typescript warnings,
if (!customElements.get('the-element')) { customElements.define('the-element', HTMLTheElement); }
Hope someone will find this useful.
Cheers.
It is unwise to use the answers above. You want it to fail! The reason being is that your NPM should be deduping duplicate packages, so the fact that you see a certain component being defined on the custom elements registry more than once is a crucial error that you need to debug why the same component is registered more than once.
How to debug, in short, go to your browser, inspect element, network tab, refresh, figure out which files are both registering the same element. Then check in the initiator to see which files are loading those files. Then you get a way better idea of why your app is not resolving the same import to a single place (your deduped dependency).
One reason why you might face this problem is due to semver. If you have multiple different major versions of the same dependency, NPM cannot just dedupe all of the installations to your root node_modules. How you solve this is up to you. Some people use npm-aliases for their different majors of a dependency, some people implement a plugin in their build-tool to resolve paths to a single installation, etc.
For people that can't use #jimmonts answer because the issue is in one of their dependencies you can use the following snippet:
This happens for us, because a package we are using defines an element. But this package is used by multiple apps. And these apps, wouldn't you know it, interact. So customElements.define('x-tag', className) gets called multiple times. And the second time it does, it crashes the app.
function safeDecorator(fn) {
// eslint-disable-next-line func-names
return function(...args) {
try {
return fn.apply(this, args);
} catch (error) {
if (
error instanceof DOMException &&
error.message.includes('has already been used with this registry')
) {
return false;
}
throw error;
}
};
}
customElements.define = safeDecorator(customElements.define);
I was getting the same error. You may not have the same issue as me but I thought I would drop my solution here just incase someone runs into the same issue in the future.
I had two modules that both imported the same custom element module, one of the was importing Module.js and the other module.js. Now the browser saw this as two separate files because URLs can be case sensitive, except my server saw this as one file because it is not case sensitive (express.js) or at least it was able to resolve the path to the correct file even with the incorrect case. And so the browser saw two "different" modules both defining the same custom element, but when I searched my source code only one file was defining the custom element.
I had this problem and found out that I was calling on my boundle.js file twice. Since I was using Webpack and HtmlWebpackPlugin, HtmlWebpackPlugin added the reference to my boundled file to my index.html file where I had already referenced it by hand.
I developed a solution, thats overrite the define with a precheck before define. It works fine for me, just ad the 2 lines into your index.js
customElements.defineclone = Object.assign(Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(customElements)).define, customElements);
customElements.define = (name, element) => customElements.get(name) || customElements.defineclone(name, element);

Grails package change for domain class caused DuplicateMappingException

While working through a tutorial to start learning Grails, I made a mistake and ran:
grails create-domain-class com.FooBar
instead of:
grails create-domain-class com.acme.FooBar
It was immediately obvious I had made an error so I tried the following:
Searched for a function that reverses the create-domain-class command, it seems there isn't one.
Searched for advice on the web and the consensus is that you can delete a domain class file, any associated views and tests, then to be safe run a text search for your class name in your project directory for any references you may have missed. I have done all this.
Then I ran the correct command to create com.acme.FooBar, which worked.
After this the app fails to run and reports the following error:
org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: duplicate import: FooBar refers to both com.acme.FooBar and com.FooBar (try using auto-import="false")
After adding the following code to com.acme.FooBar:
...
static mapping = {
autoImport false
}
...
The app now runs as expected.
However as an experienced Java developer who occasionally does refactor a package I would like to understand how to do that without causing a DuplicateMappingException or resorting to the "autoImport false" solution.
Thanks.
You shouldn't be doing
static mapping = {
autoImport false
}
As, by doing this you said that don't check for domain just by name and look up for package as well. Hence, once you do that you will have to use Fully qualified name of the class in your queries / hqls which may itch sometimes.
You should be removing the Domain completely i.e.
remove the Domain
remove the view folder creating by default with very same name and so do the controller
Now, do grails clean-all(Make it a thumb rule to use grails clean-all first for any issue unexpectedly occuring).
To be more accurate do remove target directory from your project and then do run grails run-app.
I had done very same thing many times and got it resolved by above steps.
Hope it helps.

How to debug a runtime stack underflow error?

I'm really struggling to resolve a stack underflow that I'm getting. The traceback I get at runtime is:
VerifyError: Error #1024: Stack underflow occurred.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
This is particularly difficult to debug because when I run in debug mode it does not happen at all. It only happens when compiled as a release.
Does anyone have any tips on how to debug a Stack Underflow? Are have a clean explanation of what that means for Flash?
In case it helps, this error is occurring when I click a button whose handler makes an RPC call, which uses a URLLoader, an AsyncToken, and then invokes the set of AsyncResponder instances associated with the AsyncToken. With some server-side logging as well as some logging hacked into the swf, I know that the UrlLoader is successfully doing and GET'ing a crossdomain.xml file, is correctly processing it (ie: if I wreck it, I get a security error), and is also successfully completing the "load" request (the server sends the data). The underflow seems to be happening in the Event.COMPLETE listening/handling process (as is, of course, implied by the traceback as well).
mxmlc used = from flex_sdk_4.5.0.20967
Example player (I've tried a few) = 10.2.153.1
UPDATE: My specific problem is solved... but I'm leaving the question as-is since I would like to know how to generally debug such a problem, rather than just getting my specific solution.
In my code I had the following Application definition:
<s:Application height="100%" width="100%"
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
initialize="InitData();">
Note that the code is/was attached to the initialize event.
InitData() and relevant defintions are/were:
import classes.RpcServerProxy;
public var SP:RpcServerProxy;
public function InitData():void {
SP = new RpcServerProxy("http://192.168.1.102:1234");
}
When I switched the InitData() call to be on the onCompletion event instead of initialize (thanks J_A_X!), the problem goes away entirely. What seems to have been happening was that the Event.COMPLETE event handler (onComplete in the stack trace) was using the global SP object. Something about the release (vs debug) compilation must have been affecting the startup timing of the SP variable initialization. Moving the handler later to the onCompletion event resolved all issues.
As said above, I would still like to know what tricks/tools are available for debugging initialization issues like this.
UPDATE 2:
applicationComplete seems to be an even better event than creationComplete to put application initialization code. See this blog entry for some explanation, and and this video (around 4:25) by an Adobe Tech Evangelist for an example of simple "start of application" data initialization.
I got rid of this error by adding compiler argument:
-omit-trace-statements=false
Stack underflow basically means the compiler messed up.
You can use SWFWire Inspector to look at the bytecode of the event handler, if you want to know exactly how it messed up. You can also use SWFWire Debugger to see which methods were called, but in this case, you already knew where it was happening.
If you post the broken swf, I can give you more info.
Sean is right that to debug it you can look at the byte code, but that didn't sound appealing to me.
Based on my experience and research, it is often due to the presence of a trace statement that incorrectly gets compiled out in release mode, and generates invalid byte code. So, I would say to "debug" it, "Look for places where you are using trace. Try commenting them all out in the offending function and see if the issue goes away."
In my case, it was a trace statement as the first line of a catch block:
catch (e:TypeError) {
trace(e.getStackTrace()); //This line is the problem
throw new Error("Unexpected type encountered");
}
I found someone else with this exact issue here.
This code also leads to stack underflow only in release mode (flag -debug=false):
true && trace('123');
mxlmc flex sdk version 4.5.0.20967, flashplayer version 10.3.181.14 (linux).
Check your code for similar expressions.
This code caused me issues when I compiled a release candidate from flash builder 4.5
public function set configVO( value:PopupConfigVO ):void
{trace("CHANGING")
Resolved by inserting a space between the the trace and curly brace
public function set configVO( value:PopupConfigVO ):void
{ trace("CHANGING")
Hope this helps.
For people looking for the same problem, I just got this caused by a trace statement in the 'default' case of a switch statement. Commented out the trace, stack underflow resolved.
Interesting... I was getting this error with a SWF that I'd pulled off the web, an Away3D based graphics demo. At the time I was running this on the Tamarin VM rather than the actual Flash/AIR runtimes, so could stick a breakpoint on the "verifyFailed(kStackUnderflowError)" line and see what was happening.
The -Dverbose flag also helped find the culprit:
typecheck MethodInfo-1480()
outer-scope = [global]
[Object~ Object] {} ()
0:pop
VERIFY FAILED: Error #1024: Stack underflow occurred.
And looking at the ABC using SWFInvestigator, I found this:
var function(Object):void /* disp_id=0 method_id=1480 nameIndex = 0 */
{
// local_count=2 max_scope=0 max_stack=0 code_len=2
// method position=52968 code position=155063
0 pop
1 returnvoid
}
So there is an obvious issue where the 'trace' has been removed but the compiler has put a 'pop' in there: I wouldn't have thought this was needed as a trace call should presumably have been made via 'callpropvoid'?
Quite why this doesn't fail on AIR/Flash I don't know..
Anyway: looks to me like an ASC compiler problem i.e perhaps one of the ActionScript3 compilers had a fault with this - hence the workarounds that have been mentioned so far.
It's quite simple, and it doesn't have anything to do with spaces before or after brackets, trace commands or whatever else: it's just 1 really simple thingy:
DO NOT LOOP EMPTY!
Meaning, while developing, we all //comment some lines sometimes, and when that results in
for (...) {
// skip for now
}
the compiler gets :
for(...){}
and that my good friends, is something the compiler doesn't like!
so, NO empty loops, and you're on your way again...
Happy hunting,
P.
I had the exact same problem, but in my case the cause of the problem was a trace statement in a place where the compiler didn't expect it to find it, right after a package declaration at the beginning of the class:
package utils
{
trace ("trace something here");
And that's why compiling in debug mode removed the problem.
