Async mismatch?

[Travis Griggs <travisgriggs@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I try to “read the source” to figure out why my python dbus callbacks aren’t working as expected, I noted that the C source code refers to a GDBUS_EXPERIMENTAL_ASYNC_METHOD for the WriteValue method.

I also noticed when I looked at the documentation for the @dbus.service.method decorator, that one of the arguments is an async callback. It seemed odd to me that it wasn’t being set. Is this a funny coincidence, two different meanings of the async word, or would it explain why these two variants of a WriteValue behavior differently:

1)       def WriteValue(self, value):
                print(value)
                seq = bytes(0 + x for x in value)
                myOtherModule.myFunction(seq)
                print("dispatched”)

 only prints 

dbus.Array([dbus.Byte(1), dbus.Byte(2), dbus.Byte(3), dbus.Byte(4), dbus.Byte(5), dbus.Byte(6), dbus.Byte(7), dbus.Byte(8)], signature=dbus.Signature('y’))

But 2)  def WriteValue(self, value):
                print(value)
                seq = bytes(0 + x for x in value)
             #    myOtherModule.myFunction(seq) <<— COMMENTED OUT
                print("dispatched”)

now prints 

dbus.Array([dbus.Byte(1), dbus.Byte(2), dbus.Byte(3), dbus.Byte(4), dbus.Byte(5), dbus.Byte(6), dbus.Byte(7), dbus.Byte(8)], signature=dbus.Signature('y’))
dispatched

(it finished).

I wondered if it was a timeout thing, but it appears that the timeout is set at 300 seconds? Which seems really long, I note that dbus appears to have a default timeout if you just pass -1 here, why not use that?--
