This is a utility class that allows anything mixing it in to notify a set of listeners about interesting events.
We use this for defaults since nil might mean something
Adds the passed proc as a listener on the channel indicated by channel_name. listener_key is used to remove the listener later; if none is specified, the proc itself is used.
Whatever is used as the listener_key is returned, making it very easy to use the proc itself as the listener_key:
listener = add_listener("Channel") { ... }
remove_listener("Channel", listener)
# File test-unit-3.3.4/lib/test/unit/util/observable.rb, line 31
def add_listener(channel_name, listener_key=NOTHING, &listener) # :yields: value
unless(block_given?)
raise ArgumentError.new("No callback was passed as a listener")
end
key = listener_key
if (listener_key == NOTHING)
listener_key = listener
key = ProcWrapper.new(listener)
end
channels[channel_name] ||= {}
channels[channel_name][key] = listener
return listener_key
end
Calls all the procs registered on the channel indicated by channel_name. If value is specified, it is passed in to the procs, otherwise they are called with no arguments.
# File test-unit-3.3.4/lib/test/unit/util/observable.rb, line 74
def notify_listeners(channel_name, *arguments)
channel = channels[channel_name]
return 0 unless (channel)
listeners = channel.values
listeners.each { |listener| listener.call(*arguments) }
return listeners.size
end
Removes the listener indicated by listener_key from the channel indicated by channel_name. Returns the registered proc, or nil if none was found.

def remove_listener(channel_name, listener_key)
channel = channels[channel_name]
return nil unless (channel)
key = listener_key
if (listener_key.instance_of?(Proc))
key = ProcWrapper.new(listener_key)
end
if (channel.has_key?(key))
return channel.delete(key)
end
return nil
