** (DBConnection.Error) owner #PID<> exited while testing async function
I need some help to understand writing test for async function
For example I have a function
def send_notification({:ok, nessage}, to, title, body) do
Task.Supervisor.async_nolink(MyApp.TaskSupervisor, fn ->
send(to, title, body)
end)
end
def create(to, title, body) do
to
|> create_message(title, body)
|> send(to, title, body)
|> log_message()
end
If I run test for create function, I got an error
13:19:41.877 [error] Postgrex.Protocol (#PID<0.1313.0>) disconnected: ** (DBConnection.ConnectionError) owner #PID<0.4033.0> exited

And I read the doc But I can’t figure out how to write test for this async function
And sandbox is :manual mode
Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode(MyAppRepo, :manual)

Nowadays we have proper abstractions in place so this doesn’t happen as often.
First, for managing connections, make sure you are using the start_owner API: todo_trek/test/support/data_case.ex at main · chrismccord/todo_trek · GitHub
When you are starting processes under test, use start_supervisor! from ExUnit, which guarantees it will be shut down before the test process.
Finally, if you are starting tasks or processes under a supervisor dynamically, add an on_exit callback that gets all children of said supervisor and wait for them to terminate. Something like:
on_exit(fn ->
for {_, pid, _, _} <- DynamicSupervisor.which_children(YourSupName) do
ref = Process.monitor(pid)
assert_receive {:DOWN, ^ref, _, _, _}, :infinity
end
end)

When searching for start_supervisor! in the docs I get no results: Search — ExUnit v1.16.0!
Sorry, we couldn’t find anything for start_supervisor!.
I suppose you mean start_supervised!/2 ?

Yep, that’s the one.
