Why is Breadcrumbs a Singleton? about django-breadcrumbs HOT 5 OPEN

Hello Stuart.

I will make tests trying to reproduce points that you wrote at this issue.

I will not reply all questions here because I wrote breadcrumbs have many years and don't remember everything about code now, but about singleton, as I remember, I used a singleton with idea of have one breadcrumbs instance over all request, and never experienced 'cross breadcrumbs', but now sounds weird and I will take a better look :).

Thx!

Hello Felipe --

Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate that you made this project available on github, and I noticed that it has been a while since you made changes to it. So don't worry too much about it. Mainly I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious on my end.

Cheers!

I came here investigating this same issue. I've seen behavior that I'm pretty sure is tied to the use of Singleton, although it's hard to reproduce. We are running Django via Apache/wsgi, and if multiple users are making requests at the same time, one of them may get nothing while the other gets a concatenation of both sets of breadcrumbs.

I noticed there is a fork at https://github.com/alepane21/django-breadcrumbs which appears to do nothing but remove the Singleton behavior -- I don't know the author or how it's been tested, but it seems like a simple enough change.

Wil check that this weekend.

Someone have a idea how I can reproduce this kind of test in a unit or
integration test?

This issue makes this library impossible to use with django's CachedTemplateLoader:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/api/#django.template.loaders.cached.Loader

All of the built-in Django template tags are safe to use with the cached loader, but if you’re using custom template tags that come from third party packages, or that you wrote yourself, you should ensure that the Node implementation for each tag is thread-safe. For more information, see template tag thread safety considerations.
