Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

Two independent fixes in the DDP Streamer service, found while preparing an internal restructure of ee/apps/ddp-streamer. They are landed separately so that restructure can stay behaviour-neutral.

1. Per-client dispatch chain could get stuck after one rejected call

Client.callMethod / callSubscribe serialised work through this.chain = this.chain.then(...).catch(). A bare .catch() has no handler, so it re-rejects: a single rejected server.call or server.subscribe left the chain rejected forever, every later method or subscription from that client was silently dropped, and each new .catch() produced an unhandled rejection. Today Server.call/subscribe catch internally and server-side ws.send does not throw synchronously, so this was latent, which is why there is no changeset for it. The chain now logs the failure and continues. Covered by the new Client.spec.ts.

2. Login service configuration changes were lost while nobody was subscribed

The meteor.loginServiceConfiguration publication kept a mirror Map of login services, but only updated it inside the per-subscription change listener. If a watch.loginServiceConfiguration event arrived while the instance had zero subscribers (an idle ddp-streamer replica), the change was dropped and the next client to connect replayed a stale list until the next change or a restart. The map is now updated where the event is received (updateLoginServiceConfiguration) and the publication only forwards the change. Covered by the new configureServer.spec.ts. Patch changeset included.

Issue(s)

Steps to test or reproduce

Unit tests, from ee/apps/ddp-streamer:

yarn typecheck
yarn jest --coverage=false

Manual check for fix 2 in a microservices deployment: with a ddp-streamer replica that has no connected clients, add or edit an OAuth service in Administration, then connect a client to that replica. The login page should show the updated service list immediately.

Further comments

Both fixes are deliberately minimal and keep the current module layout. The follow-up restructure (composition in service.ts, typed lifecycle, connection registry, codec) will build on top of this.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Login service configuration changes are now preserved when no clients are connected and replayed to newly connected clients.
    • Active subscribers continue receiving login service additions, updates, and removals in the correct order.
    • DDP operations now process sequentially, preserving request order.
    • Failed method calls are logged while allowing subsequent subscriptions and methods to continue processing.

Task: ARCH-2434

…iption call

The per-client dispatch chain ended in a bare .catch(), which re-rejects
instead of handling. One rejected task would leave the chain rejected for
good: every later method or subscription from that client was silently
dropped and each new .catch() surfaced as an unhandled rejection. The chain
now logs the failure and continues.

… subscribers

The mirrored login service map was only updated inside the publication's
change listener, so a change that arrived while no client was subscribed was
lost and the next subscriber replayed a stale list. The update now happens
where the change is received, and the publication only forwards it.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The DDP Streamer now mirrors login service configuration changes when no clients are subscribed and replays the current configuration to new subscribers. Client method and subscription operations now run serially, log rejected tasks, and continue processing later operations.

Changes

Login service configuration mirroring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration mirror and publication flow
.changeset/..., ee/apps/ddp-streamer/src/configureServer.ts, ee/apps/ddp-streamer/src/DDPStreamer.ts, ee/apps/ddp-streamer/src/configureServer.spec.ts
updateLoginServiceConfiguration now updates the internal map and emits changes. DDPStreamer uses this function for additions, updates, and removals. New subscriptions receive the current configuration, and active subscriptions receive live changes. Tests cover replay, removals, ordering, and unsubscribe behavior. A patch changeset records the fix.

Client operation dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serialized client operations
ee/apps/ddp-streamer/src/Client.ts, ee/apps/ddp-streamer/src/Client.spec.ts
Method and subscription calls now use a shared queue. Rejected tasks are logged, and later tasks continue processing. Tests cover serial execution and recovery after a rejected method.

Protect the configuration mirror from a stale bootstrap result.

getLoginServiceConfiguration() can resolve after a watch.loginServiceConfiguration update. Its callback then overwrites the updated record without emitting an event. A later subscriber can receive the stale record from the initial added loop.

The publication hydration sequence is synchronous, so an update cannot interleave between its initial loop and listener registration. Coordinate bootstrap with the shared updater instead.
