From 57e0edb5167d2a9d0e5f7ef2c706bbb60b612e67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dereck Mezquita Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2025 15:08:13 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Capture _parent environment in async functions for R6 methods Previously, async functions created via coro::async relied on a lexical binding of _parent to store internal state. When these functions are used as R6 methods, R6 replaces their closure environment, which loses the original _parent binding and causes errors such as: Error in api$getData() : object '_parent' not found This commit injects the captured _parent environment as a default formal parameter (.__coro_env_parent__) in the generator factory (in generator0()). The async function now retrieves the environment via: rlang::env(.__coro_env_parent__) rather than relying on a missing lexical binding. This change is minimal, maintains the original formatting, and ensures that async functions work correctly even when their environments are replaced (e.g., as R6 methods). Fixes the R6 compatibility issue with coro async functions. --- R/generator.R | 16 ++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/R/generator.R b/R/generator.R index 7bae327..18c8133 100644 --- a/R/generator.R +++ b/R/generator.R @@ -124,12 +124,15 @@ generator0 <- function(fn, type = "generator") { `_parent` <- environment() - # Create the generator factory (returned by `generator()` and - # entered by `async()`) + # FIX: Inject the captured _parent into the function’s formals as a default argument. + # This ensures that the environment is stored in the generated function and survives + # any environment replacement (e.g. when used as an R6 method). + fmls[[".__coro_env_parent__"]] <- `_parent` + + # Create the generator factory (returned by `generator()` and entered by `async()`) factory <- new_function(fmls, quote({ - # Evaluate here so the formals of the generator factory do not - # mask our variables - `_private` <- rlang::env(`_parent`) + # Evaluate here so the formals of the generator factory do not mask our variables + `_private` <- rlang::env(.__coro_env_parent__) `_private`$generator_env <- base::environment() `_private`$caller_env <- base::parent.frame() @@ -280,7 +283,8 @@ generator0 <- function(fn, type = "generator") { structure(instance, class = "coro_generator_instance") } }) - })) + # added call to caller_env() to ensure that the generator_env is created in the correct environment + }), env = caller_env()) structure(factory, class = c(paste0("coro_", type), "function")) }
