Question

I think I found a bug in EventLoopScheduler. Here is a unit test which reproduces it:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using NUnit.Framework;
using System.Reactive.Concurrency;

namespace EventLoopSchedulerTests {
    [TestFixture]
    public class EventLoopSchedulerTests {

    [Test]
    public void TestEventLoopScheduler() {
      var scheduler = new EventLoopScheduler();
      scheduler.Schedule(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1), () => { });
      Thread.Sleep(1000);
      scheduler.Schedule(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2), () => { });
      Thread.Sleep(1000*60);
    }
  }
}

If you run this unit test, one processor core will run on 100% for one minute.

I looked with Reflector in the code and analysed it and I think the problem is that the ManualResetEvent is not reset if a second action is scheduled after the "current" one.

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Is it been fixed in 2.0?

Answer 1

Known bug as mentioned in passing in the v2.0 Beta release notes. Will be fixed going forward.
