Walkthrough

Adds a Go context management utility: a ContextManager interface with methods to create cancellable/timeout contexts, attach/retrieve values, execute cancellable tasks, and wait for completion; provides an unexported simpleContextManager implementation, NewContextManager constructor, and helper functions SimulateWork and ProcessItems.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Review context usage (WithCancel, WithTimeout, WithValue) for correct patterns.
  • Verify ExecuteWithContext goroutine lifecycle, error propagation, and cancellation handling.
  • Inspect SimulateWork and ProcessItems for proper cancellation checks and partial-result/error semantics.

62-73: Consider simplifying the value check.

The if-else block can be condensed for cleaner code.

Apply this diff:

 func (cm *simpleContextManager) GetValue(ctx context.Context, key interface{}) (interface{}, bool) {
-	// DONE: Implement value retrieval from context
-	// Hint: Use ctx.Value(key) and check if it's nil
 	value := ctx.Value(key)
-	// Return the value and a boolean indicating if it was found
-	if value != nil {
-		return value, true
-	} else {
-		return nil, false
-	}
+	return value, value != nil
 }

76-92: Consider task cancellation behavior.

The implementation correctly uses a buffered channel to prevent goroutine blocking. However, if the context is cancelled, the task goroutine continues running in the background. This is acceptable for short-lived tasks but may be worth documenting. For production code, consider whether tasks should internally respect context cancellation.

1-7: LGTM!

Package declaration and imports are appropriate for a context management utility.


9-28: LGTM!

The interface is well-designed with clear method signatures and documentation.


30-36: LGTM!

Good use of unexported implementation with exported interface. The stateless design is appropriate for this utility.


38-52: LGTM!

Both context creation methods correctly use the standard library functions.


54-60: LGTM!

Correct implementation of context value attachment.


94-105: LGTM!

Correct implementation of context-aware waiting.


107-119: LGTM!

Clean implementation of cancellable work simulation.


121-140: Verify the necessity of the sleep in ProcessItems.

The comment on line 132 suggests the time.Sleep(30 * time.Millisecond) was added specifically to work around test timing issues rather than for legitimate processing simulation. This is a code smell—production code should not be tailored to test implementation details.

If this sleep is intended to simulate processing time for demonstration purposes, that should be clarified. If it's truly a workaround for test timing, consider whether the test expectations or the implementation approach need adjustment.


142-160: LGTM!

The example usage clearly demonstrates the context manager functionality.

62-73: Simplify the conditional logic.

The else clause is unnecessary and can be simplified for better readability.

Apply this diff:

 func (cm *simpleContextManager) GetValue(ctx context.Context, key interface{}) (interface{}, bool) {
 	// DONE: Implement value retrieval from context
 	// Hint: Use ctx.Value(key) and check if it's nil
 	value := ctx.Value(key)
-	// Return the value and a boolean indicating if it was found
-	if value != nil {
-		return value, true
-	} else {
-		return nil, false
-	}
+	return value, value != nil
 }

Note: This implementation cannot distinguish between a stored nil value and a missing key, which is a known limitation of Go's context.Value API.


76-92: Consider passing context to the task function.

The task function signature func() error doesn't allow the task itself to respond to cancellation. While ExecuteWithContext will return ctx.Err() if the context is cancelled, the task continues running in the background until completion.

Consider changing the signature to:

-func (cm *simpleContextManager) ExecuteWithContext(ctx context.Context, task func() error) error {
+func (cm *simpleContextManager) ExecuteWithContext(ctx context.Context, task func(context.Context) error) error {
 	// DONE: Implement task execution with context cancellation
 	// Hint: Run the task in a goroutine and use select with ctx.Done()
 	done := make(chan error, 1)
 
 	go func() {
-		done <- task()
+		done <- task(ctx)
 	}()

This allows tasks to proactively check for cancellation and clean up resources appropriately.

9-28: LGTM! Clear interface design.

The interface is well-documented and follows standard Go context patterns.


30-36: LGTM! Good use of interface return type.

The stateless implementation and interface return type follow Go best practices.


107-119: LGTM! Proper cancellation handling.

The function correctly respects context cancellation and uses select appropriately.


142-160: LGTM! Clear example usage.

The main function provides a good demonstration of the basic context manager functionality.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Remove test-specific workaround.

The comment on line 132 and the hardcoded 30ms sleep on line 133 indicate this code is tailored to pass specific tests rather than being a proper implementation. This makes the code brittle and not representative of production usage.

The ProcessItems function should simulate realistic work without hardcoded timing workarounds. Consider either:

  1. Remove the sleep entirely if items process instantly:
 	for _, s := range items {
 		select {
 		case <-ctx.Done():
 			return result, ctx.Err()
 		default:
-		    // The test file's cancellation wait time is too short; a wait time needs to be set.
-			time.Sleep(30 * time.Millisecond)
 			processedStr := "processed_" + s
 			result = append(result, processedStr)
 		}
 	}
  1. Make processing time configurable if work simulation is needed:
func ProcessItems(ctx context.Context, items []string, processTime time.Duration) ([]string, error) {
    result := make([]string, 0, len(items))
    for _, s := range items {
        select {
        case <-ctx.Done():
            return result, ctx.Err()
        case <-time.After(processTime):
            result = append(result, "processed_"+s)
        }
    }
    return result, nil
}

If tests require specific timing, they should use techniques like dependency injection or time mocking rather than hardcoding values in production code.

In challenge-30/submissions/kiramux/solution-template.go around lines 121 to
140, remove the test-specific 30ms sleep and either eliminate simulated delay
entirely or make the processing delay configurable via a parameter (e.g., add a
processTime time.Duration argument) so callers/tests can control timing; update
the loop to respect ctx.Done() and either append results immediately or wait on
time.After(processTime) (instead of a hardcoded sleep) and update any
callers/tests to pass the desired duration or mock time as needed.
