From 56df5a9712c398d34ecc840a9cd9b1f2746975ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GenericJam Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 23:35:26 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?MOB-69=20=E2=80=94=20mix=20mob.connect=20--name?= =?UTF-8?q?=20is=20honored=20end-to-end?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The option was parsed at the Mix-task layer, but the flow was: 1. `mob.connect` reads `--name` (line 141) → `local_name`. 2. `mob.connect` calls `Connector.connect_all/1` WITHOUT passing name. 3. `connect_all/1` calls `ensure_local_dist/1` which hardcodes `Node.start(:"mob_dev@127.0.0.1", :longnames)`. 4. `mob.connect` then calls `start_iex(connected, cookie, local_name)`. 5. `start_iex` checks `unless Node.alive?()` — already true — so its `Node.start(local_name, ...)` never runs. Result: `--name mob_dev_2@127.0.0.1` silently registered `mob_dev@127.0.0.1` in EPMD, breaking the documented multi-session workflow (two developers on the same box couldn't each have their own IEx into different device clusters — the second one hit "node already started" or connected to the first one's cluster). Fix: thread `:name` through `connect_all/1` into a new `ensure_local_dist/2`, backed by a public `local_name_from_opts/1` helper so the option-plumbing is unit-testable. Default preserved. Three tests on the helper's contract (default, atom, string). The call-site flow (that `connect_all/1` actually consults the helper) is manual-verify — testing the Node.start path requires mocking BEAM-level distribution which we don't do here. Small change; commit message + diff make the call-site swap obvious.
