Persistence api is difficult to understand

[ghost]

First of all, sorry for my ignorance, but I've tried to read the docs. I'm apparently missing something since I am the only one asking this.

Can someone give me an example configuration with persistence [of switches] with Redis?

Thank you.

There is an example from the docs here: https://github.com/disqus/gutter#configuring-settings

[ghost]

from gutter.client.settings import manager as manager_settings
from durabledict.redis import RedisDict
from redis import Redis as RedisClient
from gutter.client.models import Switch
from gutter.client.default import gutter

manager_settings.storage_engine = RedisDict('gutter', RedisClient())

switch = Switch('test')

gutter.register(switch)

Then

from gutter.client.settings import manager as manager_settings
from durabledict.redis import RedisDict
from redis import Redis as RedisClient
from gutter.client.models import Switch
from gutter.client.default import gutter

manager_settings.storage_engine = RedisDict('gutter', RedisClient())
gutter.switches
>>> []

This is what I mean with my problem with persistence... Any help is appreciated

Ah, simple and hard to find problem.

You need to set the storage_engine before you import the gutter client.

from gutter.client.settings import manager as manager_settings
from durabledict.redis import RedisDict
from redis import Redis as RedisClient
from gutter.client.models import Switch

manager_settings.storage_engine = RedisDict('gutter', RedisClient())

switch = Switch('test')

from gutter.client.default import gutter
gutter.register(switch)

from gutter.client.settings import manager as manager_settings
from durabledict.redis import RedisDict
from redis import Redis as RedisClient
from gutter.client.models import Switch

manager_settings.storage_engine = RedisDict('gutter', RedisClient())

from gutter.client.default import gutter
gutter.switches

@Fluxx We should change this api as it is super confusing.

from gutter.client import get_gutter

def get_gutter(name, options): return singleton.setdefault(name, Client(options))

options includes stuff to construct the connection

Hooray! Thank you

Yeah I actually ran into this problem yeaterday myself. I don't like the function approach as it only moves the problem around. I think we can probably just ditch the default manager or change the behavior of how it gets it's storage set to literally use the settings manager.
