Summary

Fix streaming stopping after the server's first pong reply, and refactor message handling so only data-sync messages are processed.

Closes #18.

Behaviour change

Message Before (1.1.8 / 1.1.9) After
data-sync processed unchanged
other messages closed with data-invalid state ignored, connection stays open

No other runtime SDK implementation was changed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • Bug Fixes
    • Streaming connections remain open when they receive invalid JSON, malformed or unrecognized messages, or data that cannot be processed.
    • Invalid messages and processing failures are logged and skipped, allowing later valid messages to be handled without interrupting the connection.
    • Data-sync messages without an explicit message type are treated as invalid.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with the two previously reported risks explicitly deferred.

Summary

The PR keeps streaming open after pong and other non-data messages. It logs and skips malformed messages and failed updates.

  • Since the previous review, only the default in valide_all_data changed. The accepted messages remain the same.
  • The test cleanup now stops both the stream and the broadcaster, addressing the worker leak.
  • deleteLater explicitly deferred both previous findings about missed updates and rejected data still appearing healthy, replying “ignore for now.”
  • The worker-cleanup thread was manually resolved without explanation; the current cleanup addresses it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Streaming now logs and skips invalid or unprocessable messages without closing the WebSocket. The data validator requires an explicit data-sync message type. Tests cover ignored messages, malformed data, and subsequent processing attempts.

Streaming message handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Message handling and validation
fbclient/streaming.py, fbclient/utils/__init__.py, tests/test_runtime_safety.py
Streaming logs and skips JSON parse failures, invalid data-sync payloads, and data-processing failures without closing the connection. The validator rejects messages with a missing messageType. Tests cover ignored messages, malformed payloads, and later processing attempts.

Malformed stream messages can leave initialization waiting, and failed sync or patch application no longer triggers recovery, risking missing or stale flags. Resolve both behaviors before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #18 requires pong to leave the connection and update state unchanged. The current _on_message does this. Issue #18 also requires invalid non-pong messages to keep the existing data-invalid close behavior. The current code logs and skips malformed JSON, non-data-sync messages, invalid data-sync payloads, and failed data application. The added tests assert that these messages keep the connection open. This does not meet the linked issue requirements.

Resolution

Keep the no-op behavior for pong. Restore the existing invalid-data close and state behavior for every other invalid message. Restore the existing recovery behavior for failed data application. Keep tests for both the pong path and the invalid-message close path.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes runtime behavior beyond the pong fix in Issue #18. It converts malformed-message handling, unrecognized-message handling, invalid data-sync handling, and failed data application from close or recovery behavior to log-and-skip behavior. The new tests codify these broader changes. These changes are not connected to the issue because the issue requires the prior invalid-message behavior to remain unchanged.

- Around line 318-319: In `fbclient/streaming.py` lines 318-319, restore the
reconnect path when `_on_process_data` returns `False` so failed sync
application triggers recovery instead of leaving the connection open. In
`tests/test_runtime_safety.py` lines 547-550, update the assertion to verify
that failure starts recovery rather than preserving the same connection.
- Line 308: Update the message handling path around the data-sync check so only
pong messages return early; route invalid JSON, malformed processing data, and
invalid data-sync payloads through the existing data-invalid close path. In
tests/test_runtime_safety.py lines 494-497 and 523-527, assert that invalid
non-pong shapes, invalid JSON, and invalid data-sync payloads close the stream
with a data-invalid state.
