OpenTra...anProxy(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

OpenTracing::SpanProxy — wrapper around an OpenTracing::Span

(You’re reading OpenTra...anProxy(3), bestie 💅✨)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is the wrapper class that user code would normally receive when working with spans. It’s the little proxy bestie that shows up in your code’s DMs when spans are involved 💖

It allows the creation of nested subspans, and it will automatically mark the span as complete when the proxy object is discarded. No cap, it handles the cleanup vibe for you 🫶

For methods available here, see OpenTracing::Span. That’s the main character reference, iykyk 👑

🎀 span 🎀

Returns the OpenTracing::Span instance that this wraps. Like, the actual span underneath the proxy — here’s your icon, periodt ✨

🌈 log 🌈

Writes a log entry to the OpenTracing::Span. Very demure, very documented 🍓

🧚 new_span 🧚

Creates a new sub-span under this OpenTracing::Span instance. Nested span era, we love to see it 💜

💀 DESTROY 💀

Called on destruction, will mark completion on the span by calling "finish" in OpenTracing::Span. So when the proxy goes bye-bye, finish gets the call — important detail, don’t forget it 😭🔥
