Re: Scheduler and DeferredCommand stopping in unit tests

I have found that scheduling a deferred event can be at times an anti-pattern. For example, let's say I've got a bunch of UI elements getting initialized. I had in the past used a deferred command to finish the UI init once everything is there. In this case there would be errors that occurred 5% of time when a user was on a stressed browser/old client and the event was returned before all init tasks were complete.

The better way to deal with this I've found is the EventBus and latches. Let's say I needed 10 things setup before the UI can continue, then those 10 things will throw an event to that latch listener and once all 10 are complete, it fires an event to carry on now at the UI is ready. Perhaps this is applicable to your case.

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Joseph
