Async Context Misuse

coroutine-where-context-or-blocking

Async-capable frameworks expect awaitables to be used in the right places, but coroutines/factories get returned where an async context manager, route handler, or non-blocking execution is required, causing failures or event-loop blocking.

const usePermissionsStoreAsync = hook(usePermissionsStore, /*suspense*/false); — const YourComponent = () => {. Tension: if (userPermissions.isLoading) { return Loading... ; } if (userPermissions.error) { return An error occurred ; }. Outcome: Try Leo Query. It handle's async data for Zustand.

MATCHESSolution

Load the async user data with a Suspense-compatible async pattern (e.g., using `leo-query`’s `query`/`subscribe`) so the component waits until `currentUser` is available before rendering.

MATCHESSolution

handle a scenario when the code is fine but backend went offline — prefetching data with usePrefetchQuery. Tension: prefetch works.

MATCHESSolution

delete the async from `fake_execute` — your `AsyncContextMock` needs to handle both use cases in your endpoint `await conn.execute()` and `async with conn.execute()`. Outcome: just make it a regular function so it returns your context manager directly, no coroutine wrapper.

MATCHESSolution

single worker running async loop. Outcome: So you have a single worker running async loop and you block that loop.

MATCHESSolution

Pass `BackgroundTasks` from the route into your dependency. — when declared inside an async dependency. Tension: the background job never runs. Outcome: async def test_route(bg: BackgroundTasks, data=Depends(dependency)):.

MATCHESSolution

If you convert all operations to perform asynchronously (using `aiosqlite`) , the issue will be mitigated. — When a route in FastAPI is listed as asynchronous (`async def`). Tension: that doesn't fully solve the inherent single writer problem of Sqlite. Outcome: Here's a fully operational update of the FastAPI server logic:.

MATCHESSolution

I also offer an alternative `executor` class which can preserve the contextvar values across threads — when YOUR code is the one making the `loop.run_in_executor` call. Tension: in this example, the code making this is the framework code. Outcome: but that can only be used when YOUR code is the one making the `loop.run_in_executor` call.

MATCHESSolution

To manage background processes. Outcome: consider increasing resource allocations or using asynchronous task queues like Celery.

MATCHESSolution

Move the persistence/cleanup logic into code that runs at the end of the background task (or otherwise extend lifecycle explicitly for the background task), rather than relying on the request-scoped `asynccontextmanager` teardown for those updates.

MATCHESSolution

Use pytest_asyncio.fixture NOT pytest.fixture — @pytest_asyncio.fixture(scope='session', loop_scope='session'). Tension: async def my_fixture():. Outcome: yield 'foo'.

MATCHESSolution

Change the engine async fixture from session scope to function scope (remove scope="session") so all async fixtures/tests run on the same event loop, preventing the cross-loop Future/Task error.

MATCHESSolution

Using `asyncio.sleep()` in a loop is perfectly fine. Tension: every time you `await` the sleep, you effectively yield control back to the event loop. Outcome: calling `asyncio.sleep(0)` does not sleep at all, but only yields control back to the event loop.

MATCHESSolution

I'd like to use `AsyncSession.sync_session` — async def get_session() -> AsyncSession: session = SessionLocal(). Tension: the code below fails with error. Outcome: use `AsyncSession.sync_session` but the code below fails with error.

MATCHESSolution

the reason for the various threads appearing in the logs — when you pass a synchronous generator to `EventSourceResponse`. Tension: a normal `def` function instead of `async def`. Outcome: please take a look at the implementation of the `EventSourceResponse` class.

MATCHESSolution

use `pytest_asyncio` and the async fixture — If you don't want to utilize an `AsyncClient` like the one by `httpx`. Tension: ensuring that the FastAPI app's lifespan context correctly works.

MATCHESSolution

any time you have an I/O bound process with lots of idle time — waiting for user input, waiting for a TLS handshake. Tension: wrapping it in an async task can let other code run.

MATCHESSolution

Initialize Eureka using the async API (e.g., `eureka_client.init_async(...)`) and/or move initialization into an appropriate async startup hook so it doesn’t start a new event loop at import time.

MATCHESSolution

Ensure the S3 download runs in a way that doesn’t block the event loop (i.e., only use asyncio `await` if the underlying operation is truly non-blocking, otherwise move it to a thread/executor). Use `asyncio.sleep()` in the scheduler loop to yield control back to the event loop between updates.

MATCHESSolution

An async function was passed to useActionState.

MATCHESSolution

Use myAsyncAction.fulfilled as the listener actionCreator and prepend listenerMiddleware.middleware in configureStore

MATCHESSolution

Or you can use `async/await` and `try/catch` — createAsyncThunk. Outcome: return data.

MATCHESSolution

Avoid running multiple DB operations concurrently on the same session by removing asyncio.gather and iterating sequentially, and/or use an async_scoped_session so each task uses its own session.

MATCHESSolution

`useCallback` needs to be used — to be used as a callback and thus prevent the unnecessary re-renders. Tension: `memo` can't prevent `ExpensiveComponent` from being re-rendered. Outcome: const handleRender = useCallback(() => {...}, []);.

MATCHESSolution

Use useContext(LevelContext) in the consumer as shown; only use LevelContext.Provider where you need to define the value for child components. Prefer the React 19 context-as-a-provider patterns when available.

MATCHESSolution

Use asynchronous sending with callbacks. — If you're using KafkaTemplate.send() without handling the ListenableFuture returned. Tension: you're effectively blocking the calling thread until the message is acknowledged by the Kafka broker. Outcome: The addCallback method allows you to execute code when the send operation succeeds or fails, without blocking the main thread.

MATCHESSolution

I think it is better to use a custom context manager — if you need to isolate test methods from each other. Tension: you need to isolate test methods from each other. Outcome: here is what I am using.

MATCHESSolution

Rewrite the test as an async test and run it with an async test runner (e.g., pytest.mark.asyncio), using await on the async ORM methods (acreate/acount) instead of asyncio.run().

MATCHESSolution

the goroutine blocks forever on the channel send because nobody is reading — When the parent context is cancelled, the goroutine blocks forever on the channel send because nobody is reading. Tension: if the result is ready at the exact moment the context cancels, which case fires?

MATCHESSolution

Use Component.Task (TaskSource) for all async work inside components — inside components. Tension: it auto-cancels when the component is destroyed.
