hi @nopnop,
that's interesting, I never came to a situation like that, maybe this is a chance to try https://github.com/WebReflection/circular-json. That library claims to be able to serialize circular references. might be worth.
The problem is that if we cannot recreate the cache as it is then it will be a real problem as I bet the bundle won't be useful.
If you can give it a try I'm more than happy to review/merge.
Let me know.
Nice, I'll give a try with https://github.com/WebReflection/circular-json
Circular dependency is usually the result of a bad-design (It could append with a require
inside a function for instance). Anyway, this may appeared in third-party library.
I'll keep you up-to date
Hello,
I came across a problem with persistify that is related to flat-cache (persistify is really awesome by the way)
Sometimes, browserify cache may contain circular reference that break flat-cache serialization. I fixed this by replacing
JSON.stringify
by json-stringify-safe in cache.js#L109. But it may not be a good solution so I won't push a PR before having your perspective on this.Maybe for a caching mechanism, highly related to development purpose, it's acceptable to fallback to something like
json-stringify-safe
. At least with a warning instead of a fatal Exception or with alenient
options to optionally usejson-stringify-safe
instead ofJSON.stringify
?
