Please rename this attribute to pattern now that it will match the argument passed into AS notification subscribe. This will help us disambiguate the shadowed name parameter passed into the start and finish methods as well.

I've updated the attribute name to @pattern on ae89d18 @arielvalentin, as requested.

I didn't touch the name parameter to avoid disrupting the interface. Let me know if you want this to be renamed as well.

Yes please. This Subscriber is part of the internal API of this gem and i don't think it is used externally at the moment.

Thank you for confirming. It should be fixed on ed978b2.

I see what you meant now. Duping the string will now result in a separate string allocation and an additional case statement per subscription call. The difference in use between the regexp matcher and string based subscriber is only for span names right?

I think maybe it would be best in this case then to use the span name found on the payload and then keep the name instance variable as more as a indexing value that we can use to unsubscribe registrations or inspect the object to know what it's subscribed to but not use it for span naming. Does that help?

Thank you for your review @arielvalentin!

Does that help?

It does help. It's also a behavioural change, meaning this test will break:

it 'memoizes the span name' do
span, = subscriber.start('oh.hai', 'abc', {})
_(span.name).must_equal(notification_name)
end

Which is the behaviour I was trying to preserve there. In this case, would it make sense to just remove that test?

I think that should be ok.

That test is a bit strange because I was guarding against the very unlikely bug that AS Notifications to invoke the subscriber with an event that it was not subscribed to.

You can probably delete it.

This prevents subscriptions from leaking across tests. Just using ActiveSupport::Notifications.unsubscribe with a Regexp won't work as intended.
