From 48a37d22b9375f4b1d06c35c2ad986d2e1fb808f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artur Shiriev Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 15:31:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Detect circular dependencies at resolve time Track the resolution stack per-thread via threading.local shared across the container tree. When a provider is encountered that is already being resolved on the current thread, raise RuntimeError with the full cycle path (e.g. "CycleA -> CycleB -> CycleA") instead of hitting a RecursionError. --- modern_di/container.py | 16 +++++++++++++++- modern_di/errors.py | 1 + tests/test_container.py | 40 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/modern_di/container.py b/modern_di/container.py index 06ecafa..10c4901 100644 --- a/modern_di/container.py +++ b/modern_di/container.py @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ class Container: __slots__ = ( + "_resolving", "_scope_map", "cache_registry", "context_registry", @@ -37,6 +38,7 @@ def __init__( self.lock = threading.Lock() if use_lock else None self.scope = scope self.parent_container = parent_container + self._resolving: threading.local = parent_container._resolving if parent_container else threading.local() # noqa: SLF001 self._scope_map: dict[Scope, typing_extensions.Self] = ( {**parent_container._scope_map, scope: self} if parent_container else {scope: self} # noqa: SLF001 ) @@ -102,7 +104,19 @@ def resolve_provider(self, provider: "AbstractProvider[types.T]") -> types.T: ): return override # ty: ignore[invalid-return-type] - return provider.resolve(self) + provider_id = provider.provider_id + resolving: dict[int, AbstractProvider[typing.Any]] = getattr(self._resolving, "stack", None) or {} + if provider_id in resolving: + cycle_names = [p.bound_type.__name__ if p.bound_type else repr(p) for p in resolving.values()] + cycle_names.append(provider.bound_type.__name__ if provider.bound_type else repr(provider)) + raise RuntimeError(errors.CYCLE_DEPENDENCY_ERROR.format(cycle_path=" -> ".join(cycle_names))) + + resolving[provider_id] = provider + self._resolving.stack = resolving + try: + return provider.resolve(self) + finally: + del resolving[provider_id] def validate_provider(self, provider: "AbstractProvider[types.T]") -> types.T: return typing.cast(types.T, provider.validate(self)) diff --git a/modern_di/errors.py b/modern_di/errors.py index e25246b..17c2d25 100644 --- a/modern_di/errors.py +++ b/modern_di/errors.py @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ FACTORY_ARGUMENT_RESOLUTION_ERROR = ( "Argument {arg_name} of type {arg_type} cannot be resolved.
