Defining handlers inside a module

[thevolatilebit]

When I try to setup an API inside a module, it turns out that the handlers are not being registered. I have to define them outside the module to make it work.

Minimal example

Define inside a module

module BuildMyAPI

using Oxygen

function build_api(app=instance())
    app.get("/") do
        return "Hello World"
    end

    return app
end

end

using .BuildMyAPI: build_api

app = build_api()

# The route is not registered
app.serve(port=8010, async=true)

Define outside a module

using Oxygen

app = instance()

app.get("/") do
    return "Hello World"
end

# This works
app.serve(port=8010, async=true)

Hi @thevolatilebit,

Thanks for the code snippet, I'll have to take a look into that. In the meantime, I'd recommend using @oxidise macro to do the same for now (as long as the number of servers remains static).

The instance function has always been a bit hacky since it's dynamically creating a module at runtime in Julia which isn't encouraged (but still possible).

I see, thanks!
