Weird channel behavior in go

问题

package main
import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "/something/models"
    "os"
    "path/filepath"
    "runtime"
)

func WriteDeviceToFile(d chan *models.Device, fileName string) {

_, b, _, _ := runtime.Caller(0)
basepath := filepath.Dir(b)
filePath := basepath + "/dataFile/" + fileName

var f *os.File
var err error


f, _ = os.OpenFile(filePath, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY, 0600)

defer f.Close()


for device := range d {
    deviceB, err := json.Marshal(device)
    fmt.Println(string(deviceB))
    if err == nil {
        if _, err = f.WriteString(string(deviceB)); err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
    } else {
        panic(err)
    }
}

}

func main() {
deviceChan := make(chan *models.Device)
go WriteDeviceToFile(deviceChan, "notalive.txt")
d := models.NewDevice("12346", "")
deviceChan <- d
d = models.NewDevice("abcd", "")
deviceChan <- d
close(deviceChan)
}

This only works with at least two devices sent to channel. With only one device in deviceChan, the function does not receive anything. Is the channel gone before the WriteDeviceToFile gets to it?

回答1:

The program exits when main returns. Nothing prevents main from exiting before the files are written
