ArgumentError :ets.lookup in Absinthe Middleware using FunWithFlags

I’m trying to use FunWithFlags.enabled? (ref fwf) inside an absinthe middleware but I got the following error:

(ArgumentError) argument error
    (stdlib) :ets.lookup(:fun_with_flags_cache, :some_flag)

Stacktrace:
  │ lib/fun_with_flags/store/cache.ex:35: FunWithFlags.Store.Cache.get/1
  │ lib/fun_with_flags/store.ex:12: FunWithFlags.Store.lookup/1
  │ lib/fun_with_flags.ex:77: FunWithFlags.enabled?/2

I haven’t tried too much. I just narrowed down where the issue is happening. I’m guessing that the middleware compiles before the :some_flag record (or maybe the :fun_with_flags_cache table) is created and then failed because there is no record/table.

This link says:

It stores flag information in Redis or a relational DB (PostgreSQL or MySQL, with Ecto) for persistence and synchronization across different nodes, but it also maintains a local cache in an ETS table for fast lookups. When flags are added or toggled on a node, the other nodes are notified via PubSub and reload their local ETS caches

So I’m guessing one option could be disable the ETS with the following config:

config :fun_with_flags, :cache,
  enabled: false,
  ttl: 900

But we lost all of the benefits of the cache.

Anyway, Any thought are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Thanks! :smiley:

Note: It doesn’t work adding the config. :frowning:

Gotcha.

Yeah the issue here is that this function is actually run at compile time. This means that your ets tables are likely not loaded. Using the persistent_term schema backend would probably help (in that it will refresh the value at runtime), but I think this still runs at compile time to do a check.

Where Next?
