The `task-supervisor` crate is a library for managing and monitoring asynchronous tasks within the Tokio runtime. It ensures tasks remain operational by tracking their health and restarting them if they fail or become unresponsive.
## Installation
```bash
cargo add task-supervisor
```
## Usage
### 1. Defining a Supervised Task
```rust
use async_trait::async_trait;
use std::time::Duration;
use task_supervisor::{SupervisedTask, TaskOutcome};
#[derive(Clone)]
struct MyTask {
pub emoji: char,
}
#[async_trait]
impl SupervisedTask for MyTask {
async fn run(&mut self) -> Result<(), TaskError> {
for _ in 0..15 {
println!("{} Task is running!", self.emoji);
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
}
// A task could run forever and never return
println!("{} Task completed!", self.emoji);
Ok(())
}
}
```
> [!WARNING]
> A task must implement `Clone` for now, since we need to be able to clone it for restarts.
### 2. Setting Up and Running the Supervisor
Use the `SupervisorBuilder` to create a supervisor and start supervising tasks. The `SupervisorHandle` allows dynamic task management:
```rust
use std::time::Duration;
use task_supervisor::{SupervisorBuilder, SupervisorHandleError};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), SupervisorHandleError> {
// Build the supervisor with initial tasks
let supervisor = SupervisorBuilder::default().build();
// Run the supervisor and get the handle
let handle = supervisor.run();
let h = handle.clone();
tokio::spawn(async move {
// Add a new task after 5 seconds
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
println!("Adding a task after 5 seconds...");
h.add_task("task", MyTask { emoji: '🆕' })?;
// Query the task status after 2 seconds
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
match h.get_task_status("task").await {
Ok(Some(status)) => println!("Task status: {:?}", status),
Ok(None) => println!("Task not found"),
Err(e) => println!("Error getting task status: {}", e),
}
// Restart the task after 5 seconds
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
println!("Restarting task after 5 seconds...");
h.restart("task")?;
// Query all task statuses after 2 seconds
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
match h.get_all_task_statuses().await {
Ok(statuses) => {
println!("All task statuses:");
for (name, status) in statuses {
println!(" {}: {:?}", name, status);
}
}
Err(e) => println!("Error getting all task statuses: {}", e),
}
// Kill the task after another 5 seconds
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
println!("Killing task after 5 seconds...");
h.kill_task("task")?;
// NOTE: Atm, calling `wait` here will panic since it's already called
// from another thread.
h.shutdown().unwrap();
Ok(())
})?;
// Wait for the Supervisor to be stopped
handle.wait().await??;
println!("Supervisor stopped! 🫡");
Ok(())
}
```
The supervisor will:
1. Start all initial tasks, executing their run logic.
2. Monitor tasks via heartbeats, restarting them if they fail or become unresponsive.
3. Allow dynamic task management (add, restart, kill) via the SupervisorHandle.
4. Provide task status querying for individual tasks (get_task_status) or all tasks (get_all_task_statuses).
5. Exit when all tasks are marked as Dead or Completed.
