# Liveness [](https://circleci.com/gh/well-ironed/liveness) A declarative busy wait. ## Use in tests Use this library to assert on liveness properties of a system. A typical use case is waiting for some asynchronous process to finish in the background before the assertion can be checked. An example of this might be writing data to an eventually consistent store and then waiting for a read operation to return the same data. ```elixir assert eventually(fn -> {:ok, "expected_result"} == SUT.read() end) ``` ## Use in applications You can also use this library to set up a synchronization point in your code. The wrapped expression will be re-run multiple times, either until the condition succeeds or the maximum number of retries is reached (which causes an exception to be raised). This way you can be certain that the specified condition holds after `eventually` returns. An example of this might be calling an external resource that we expect to fail intermittently (sigh). ```elixir credentials = XYZ.fresh_credentials() user_id = eventually(fn -> FlakyUserService.register_user!(credentials) end) proceed_with(user_id) ``` ## Semantics The call to `eventually` will succeed if the passed function returns some value other than `false` within the provided number of retries. Otherwise, it will either raise a `Liveness` exception or reraise the last exception raised by the function. By default, `eventually` will attempt to execute the function 250 times, every 20 milliseconds. Both parameters can be altered by passing them to `eventually`. So, this: ```elixir eventually(fn -> ... end) ``` Is equivalent to this: ```elixir eventually(fn -> ... end, 250, 20) ``` ## Installation The library is [available on hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/liveness). You can use it in your project by adding it to dependencies: ```elixir defp deps() do [ {:liveness, "~> 1.0.0"} ] end ``` ## License This library is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).
