Unhandeled Exception #30

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just disconnecting other party

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.7 any os

Please provide any additional information below.

New suggestion to avoid unhandeled error (whitch is the whole idea of the 
method.

        internal void CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint(Action 
action, string endPoint)
        {
            if (action == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("action");
            if (endPoint == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException
("endPoint");

            try
            {
                action.Invoke();
            }
            catch (IOException ioe)
            {
                _log.DebugFormat("IOException encountered 
in ReadHeaderCompleted - {0}", ioe.Message);
                ModbusMasterTcpConnectionClosed.IfNotNull
(e => e(EndPoint));

                SocketException socketException = 
ioe.InnerException as SocketException;
                if (socketException != null && 
socketException.ErrorCode == Modbus.ConnectionResetByPeer)
                {
                    _log.Debug("Socket Exception 
ConnectionResetByPeer, Master closed connection.");
                    return;
                }

                //throw;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                _log.Error("Unexpected exception 
encountered", e);
                //throw;
            }
        }

The purpose of the method CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint is to catch
exceptions that we can expect to occur during normal operation and handle them
accordingly. For example, it is possible for a master slave TCP connection to be
closed during the middle of any message exchange (e.g. client is closed). When 
this
happens an IOException is thrown with a specific inner SocketException. We 
check for
this special case and handle it gracefully. 

Although catching all exceptions as you proposed will prevent the slave from
crashing, it will also mask legitimate bugs. 

In short, if the ModbusTcpSlave crashes it is a bug should be fixed.

You are of cause correct, but any call to CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint 
should be encapsulated in a try catch block in that case.

I'm not sure you're getting me. I'm already handling the exceptions I know 
about, if
any other unexpected exceptions occur I /want/ the slave to crash (then the bug
should be fixed). Therefore I do /not/ want to additionally wrap calls to
CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint in a try catch block.

I will try to send you a stack trace when the error occurs. It is super simple 
to 
get the error. Simply unplug the master from the network during 
communication....

That would be great if you could send a stack trace. This is exactly the kind 
of bug
we don't want :)

Just did a new project with NModbus. If a master is disconnectet by means of 
for example pulling out a network cable, slave crashes.

See stack trace. As you can see it is not a call initiated by user code, and 
therefore the exception cannot be taken care of.

ERROR Got unexpected exception: Unable to read data from the transport 
connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not 
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed 
because connected host has failed to respond.

Reopening the issue since there is added information.

I am having the same problem with CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint.
Assuming that I have understood the code correctly this method is executed in 
asynchronous callbacks only.
When you re-throw the exceptions this crashes the application.

I have a master device that uses modbus RTU over Ethernet i.e. it sends 
complete RTU packets using TCP as the transport; not Modbus/TCP packets.
I have successfully got it working by developing my own adapter for this.

I have discovered that when I use a standard Modbus/TCP slave (which my 
application must also support) the slave crashes my program when I send 
telegrams from this master.
The fault occurs in ReadFrameCompleted when 
ModbusMessageFactory.CreateModbusRequest throws a FormatException (which is 
expected as the packet format is incorrect).

This is captured by CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint but the master is not 
removed as this exception is not explicitly handled.
I think that because the method is executed in an asynchronous callback thread 
the re-throw of this exception causes the program to crash!

I am using NModus v1.11 (re-built for .net 4 cp but no other changes)
Application is built using VS2010 C# .

Any advice on how to best prevent this error would be welcome.

Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this problem?

I tried to fix the problem by the following change to 
ModbusMasterTcpConnection.ReadFrameCompleted:

internal void ReadFrameCompleted(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint(() =>
    {
// BEGIN CHANGE
        int bytesRead = Stream.EndRead(ar);
        _log.DebugFormat("Read Frame completed {0} bytes", bytesRead);
        if (bytesRead == 0)
        {
            _log.Debug("0 bytes read, Master has closed Socket connection.");
            EventHandler<TcpConnectionEventArgs> handler = ModbusMasterTcpConnectionClosed;
            if (handler != null)
                handler(this, new TcpConnectionEventArgs(EndPoint));
            return;
        }
// END CHANGE
        byte[] frame = CollectionUtility.Concat(_mbapHeader, _messageFrame);
        _log.InfoFormat("RX: {0}", StringUtility.Join(", ", frame));
// ...

I seems to work, but I'm not sure it is the correct solution

Perhaps in the mind of the creator, the right solution may be :

        internal void CatchExceptionAndRemoveMasterEndPoint(Action action, string endPoint)
        {
// ......
        catch (IOException ioe)
            {
                _log.DebugFormat("IOException encountered in ReadHeaderCompleted - {0}", ioe.Message);
                ModbusMasterTcpConnectionClosed.Raise(this, new TcpConnectionEventArgs(EndPoint));

                SocketException socketException = ioe.InnerException as SocketException;
                if (socketException != null && socketException.ErrorCode == Modbus.ConnectionResetByPeer)
                {
                    _log.Debug("Socket Exception ConnectionResetByPeer, Master closed connection.");
                    return;
                }

//declare "public const int ConnectionAborted = 10053;" in Modbus.cs !!!
                if (socketException != null && socketException.ErrorCode == Modbus.ConnectionAborted)
                {
                    _log.Debug("Socket Exception ConnectionAborted, Master closed connection.");
                    return;
                }

                _log.Error("Unexpected IOException encountered", ioe);
                throw;
          }
//...........

// Take care to define:
// public const int ConnectionAborted = 10053;
// in Modbus.cs

Btw in my code i use a stronger approach handling ALL IOException disconnecting 
the master and going on silently.

Has anyone tested whether nik's solution above, works to fully address the 
issue? We're having this problem with our code as well and haven't been able to 
kill it. Or, nik, can you provide more information about the "stronger approach 
handling ALL IOException" you mentioned? 

Thank you,
Graeme
