I encountered a situation in ShareDB where my callbacks are often executed in the wrong order.
I tracked this down to incorrect behavior in the
doc.fetch()
method, which pushes theinflightCallback
onto the back of thecallbacks
array. If there are already anypendingCallbacks
in the array, then theinflightCallback
will be executed AFTER all thependingCallbacks
.This is obviously not the desired behavior. The
inflightCallback
should always be executed FIRST, before any of thependingCallbacks
.I fixed the code and wrote a test demonstrating the fix. If you remove my bugfix and run the test, you'll see that it reliably fails.
