PR Review: Fix tick leak
Summary
The core fix (changing animSub from value to pointer type) correctly addresses the tick leak issue. However, I found some concerns with the defensive nil-check code added in Init().
Findings
- 1 Medium severity issue: The nil-check in
Init()doesn't work as intended due to value receiver semantics - 1 Medium severity issue: The test doesn't validate the nil-check defensive code
Recommendation
The main bug fix is sound, but the defensive nil-checks have issues. Since New() always initializes animSub properly, consider either:
- Using a pointer receiver for
Init()to make the nil-check work correctly - Removing the nil-checks and documenting that zero-value Spinners are unsupported
- Keeping as-is if zero-value Spinners are never created in practice
Given that all usage appears to go through New(), the current code will work correctly in practice.
The animation subscription was a value, that got copied so Stop()ing would stop a copied subscription resulting in ~10% CPU usage once the assistant finished answering and nothing was moving on the screen. Make sure that all the spinners share the same animation subscription Signed-off-by: Djordje Lukic <djordje.lukic@docker.com>
