From 0617fc6bda7151c70559d87177e2dcfb1b60995f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lum Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 13:33:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] postit: make Settings thread-safe and route PropertyChanged through UI dispatcher The postit://callback re-launch crashed Avalonia inside DataValidationErrors.SetErrors with 'The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it'. Two Settings instances raced on PropertyChanged: one was the DI singleton registered by App.OnFrameworkInitializationCompleted, the other was a freshly-constructed fallback in LoginPageViewModel() and LoginPage.axaml.cs's DataContext-null branch. Avalonia's binding sink caught the cross-thread notification and crashed before the LoginPage could render. Fix at three layers: 1. Settings: lock the mutation gate so concurrent Load() / ApplyJson() callers cannot tear reads; override OnPropertyChanged to marshal every notification onto the Avalonia UI thread via a new UiDispatcher helper (no more cross-thread SetErrors). Add BindToServiceProvider / RequireCurrent so production code paths cannot silently allocate a second instance. 2. LoginPageViewModel(): resolve the canonical Settings from the DI container (Settings.RequireCurrent) instead of new Settings(). The cross-thread crash is now caught loudly with a clear 'Settings.Current is not bound' error if something instantiates the VM outside a bound App. 3. HomePage.axaml.cs and LoginPage.axaml.cs: resolve the next view-model and BlogApiClient through App.Services instead of constructing them with 'new'. Same instance tree as the rest of the app; the postit://callback race disappears by construction. MainPageViewModel and HomePageViewModel keep their existing '?? new Settings()' fallback for test friendliness, but the fallback is now harmless because Settings itself is thread-safe. Adds two regression tests in SettingsLoadTests covering concurrent Load+mutate and concurrent idempotent Load. --- src/PostIt.Tests/SettingsLoadTests.cs | 125 +++++++++++++- src/PostIt/PostIt/App.axaml.cs | 22 +++ src/PostIt/PostIt/Services/UiDispatcher.cs | 72 ++++++++ src/PostIt/PostIt/Settings/Settings.cs | 158 +++++++++++++++--- .../PostIt/ViewModels/HomePageViewModel.cs | 12 +- .../PostIt/ViewModels/LoginPageViewModel.cs | 16 +- .../PostIt/ViewModels/MainPageViewModel.cs | 10 ++ src/PostIt/PostIt/Views/HomePage.axaml.cs | 14 +- src/PostIt/PostIt/Views/LoginPage.axaml.cs | 15 +- 9 files changed, 415 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/PostIt/PostIt/Services/UiDispatcher.cs diff --git a/src/PostIt.Tests/SettingsLoadTests.cs b/src/PostIt.Tests/SettingsLoadTests.cs index eb05af38..1a9697f7 100644 --- a/src/PostIt.Tests/SettingsLoadTests.cs +++ b/src/PostIt.Tests/SettingsLoadTests.cs @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ using System; using System.IO; +using System.Threading; +using System.Threading.Tasks; using Xunit; namespace PostIt.Tests; @@ -32,4 +34,125 @@ public class SettingsLoadTests Assert.False(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(settings.Authentication?.Authority)); Assert.Equal("postit", settings.Authentication.ClientId); } -} \ No newline at end of file + + /// + /// Regression test for the postit://callback crash: two + /// Settings instances racing on PropertyChanged from a + /// background thread crashed Avalonia's binding sink inside + /// DataValidationErrors.SetErrors.
