Lean.Server.Watchdog

For general server architecture, see README.md. This module implements the watchdog process.

Watchdog state #

Most LSP clients only send us file diffs, so to facilitate sending entire file contents to freshly restarted workers, the watchdog needs to maintain the current state of each file. It can also use this state to detect changes to the header and thus restart the corresponding worker, freeing its public imports.

TODO(WN): We may eventually want to keep track of approximately (since this isn't knowable exactly) where in the file a worker crashed. Then on restart, we tell said worker to only parse up to that point and query the user about how to proceed (continue OR allow the user to fix the bug and then continue OR ..). Without this, if the crash is deterministic, users may be confused about why the server seemingly stopped working for a single file.

Watchdog <-> worker communication #

The watchdog process and its file worker processes communicate via LSP. If the necessity arises, we might add non-standard commands similarly based on JSON-RPC. Most requests and notifications are forwarded to the corresponding file worker process, with the exception of these notifications:

Moreover, we don't implement the full protocol at this level:

Watchdog <-> client communication #

The watchdog itself should implement the LSP standard as closely as possible. However we reserve the right to add non-standard extensions in case they're needed, for example to communicate tactic state.

Events that worker-specific tasks signal to the main thread.

            Global import data for all open files managed by this watchdog.

            • imports : ImportMap

              For every open file, the files that it imports (transitively).

            • importedBy : ImportMap

              For every open file, the open files that it is imported by (transitively).

              Instances For

                Sets the imports of uri in d to the empty set.

                                    Sends a notification to the file worker identified by uri that its dependency staleDependency is out-of-date.

                                      Used in CallHierarchyItem.data? to retain all the data needed to quickly re-identify the call hierarchy item.

                                          When a file is saved, notifies all file workers for files that depend on this file that this specific import is now stale so that the file worker can issue a diagnostic asking users to restart the file.

                                                      Starts loading .ileans present in the search path asynchronously in an IO task. This ensures that server startup is not blocked by loading the .ileans. In return, while the .ileans are being loaded, users will only get incomplete results in requests that need references.
