I got a problem using sync.WaitGroup
and select
together. If you take a look at following http request pool you will notice that if an error occurs it will never be reported as wg.Done()
will block and there is no read from the channel anymore.
package pool
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"sync"
)
var (
MaxPoolQueue = 100
MaxPoolWorker = 10
)
type Pool struct {
wg *sync.WaitGroup
queue chan *http.Request
errors chan error
}
func NewPool() *Pool {
return &Pool{
wg: &sync.WaitGroup{},
queue: make(chan *http.Request, MaxPoolQueue),
errors: make(chan error),
}
}
func (p *Pool) Add(r *http.Request) {
p.wg.Add(1)
p.queue <- r
}
func (p *Pool) Run() error {
for i := 0; i < MaxPoolWorker; i++ {
go p.doWork()
}
select {
case err := <-p.errors:
return err
default:
p.wg.Wait()
}
return nil
}
func (p *Pool) doWork() {
for r := range p.queue {
fmt.Printf("Request to %s
", r.Host)
p.wg.Done()
_, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(r)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
p.errors <- err
} else {
fmt.Printf("no error
")
}
}
}

How can I still use WaitGroup but also get errors from go routines?
