Adding a startup module makes other modules to not run

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a weird behavior that took me some time to figure out.

The problem as follows:

I had two startup modules. Then I added a third module and one of the other two modules stopped working suddenly. I ca'nt figure why, but maybe is because I am not setting the order properly? Here is how they are configured:

// Export name and synchronous status

exports.name = "pouchdb-sycer";

exports.after = ["pouchdb"];

exports.platforms = ["browser"];

exports.synchronous = false;

// Export name and synchronous status

exports.name = "pouchdb";

exports.before = ["startup"];

exports.platforms = ["browser"];

exports.synchronous = true;

This below is the problematic one

exports.name = "pouchdb-utils";

exports.after = ["pouchdb"];

exports.before = ["pouchdb-sycer"];

exports.platforms = ["browser"];

exports.synchronous = false;

Could be because two of them are asynchronous?

Thanks for any help

Hi Danielo

Are you invoking the callback at the end of your asynchronous startup?

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,

No I'm not. Does the startup module receive a callback? What does that callback expect? I removed the asynchronous from the "utils" module and the problem is gone. Anyway, I want to know more about asynchronous startup modules to do things the right way. I looked into tw/dev but I miss some information. I feel like there were more information available before.

Hello Jeremy,

I have checked again the documentation at TW/dev and it is mentioned that you have to call the callback on non-synchronous modules, but it does say nothing about what parameters does it expect. Could you please provide me a clue?

Many thanks.

PD: The original issue is resolved.
