Is there a simple way to cancel all Twisted timers (pending reactor.callLater calls)?
The reason I want to do this is to clean up a unit test without getting "dirty reactor" complaints. The system is a server that will rarely be shut down and does not have to shut down gracefully (i.e. I don't care if the reactor is dirty). But I want the unit tests to run cleanly, so for now I've been keeping a reference to each timer that I start, so my test cleanup code can manually cancel it. It's a lot of fuss, and makes timers harder to use than they should be. I admit that in many cases I need a reference to the timer anyway, since I may have to cancel it for reasons that matter to the server. But I hate having to do it for *every* timer. If there was a simple way to tell the reactor to cancel any outstanding "callLater" calls, the code would be much cleaner. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
