fix: prevent fabricated correlation IDs outside active requests - #127
Conversation
Flask, Quart and Connexion expose a request proxy even when no request is active. get_current_request() returned that proxy unconditionally, so RequestUtil treated it as a request, failed to read or store an ID, and returned a freshly generated UUID for every log record emitted outside a request. Background logs therefore got unrelated IDs. get_current_request() now returns the proxy only when the framework reports an active request context (flask/quart has_request_context), and None otherwise. RequestUtil already maps None to json_logging.EMPTY_VALUE. Requests that carry a correlation header or generate an ID are unchanged. Tests cover outside-request logs, repeated background logs, supplied and generated IDs inside requests, sequential and concurrent requests, and Connexion 3 operations. test-requirements.txt installs connexion[flask] so Connexion 3's FlaskApp, which needs the a2wsgi package, is exercised. Fixes #125

LlamaPReview — No blocking issues found
Safe to merge: Flask, Quart and Connexion now expose the request proxy only while a request context is active, so outside-request logs get - instead of a fabricated UUID while in-request IDs, supplied headers and request isolation are unchanged.
Review details and evidence
Material unknowns
- Whether the same Connexion adapter is meant to serve a Flask-less Connexion 3 ASGI app, where
_flask.has_request_context()would not reflect the active request. If it is, in-requestget_correlation_id()on that path could report-instead of the header value; as evidenced, this is not a demonstrated regression and does not change the merge posture.- Check: Confirm the Connexion adapter's intended app type; no pre-merge action required.
- Whether any consumer of
get_current_requestexists beyondRequestUtil; the search hit set returned only the extractor definitions and theRequestUtilcall. Any other consumer would receive the already-documentedNone-outside-request value, so an answer would not change the decision.- Check: None required; search coverage is not proof of absence.

- Readiness: the test waited only for the Unix socket file to exist, which does
not mean the worker accepts requests. It now polls GET /ready over the socket
until 200, with a 30 s monotonic deadline and a 2 s per-attempt timeout. It
fails early, with gunicorn's full output, if the process exits during startup.
- /ready is a route excluded from request logging, so probing adds no records.
- Gunicorn's output goes to a file, not a pipe, so a large log cannot block the
server. The server is terminated and reaped in a finally block.
- The socket lives in a short temporary directory, because macOS limits Unix
socket paths to about 104 bytes and pytest's tmp_path can exceed that.
- Every line starting with '{' must be valid JSON. Previously malformed lines
were skipped silently.
- In CI (CI=true) a missing gunicorn fails the test instead of skipping it.
- README: states the dependency on #127 explicitly, documents the readiness
probe and the --preload assumption.
Local status: this sandbox refuses gunicorn's own socket check (EPERM), so the
end-to-end run fails here. It fails fast with the output attached.

- init_request_instrument() and the Flask/Connexion/Quart integrations change process-wide loggers. Measured after this module: flask-request-logger had 5 leftover handlers and parent=None. An autouse fixture now snapshots and restores the request loggers and werkzeug after every test. - The Connexion spec directory was created with tempfile.mkdtemp() and never removed. It now uses pytest's tmp_path. Verified: 44/44 on Python 3.9-3.13, blocking flake8 clean, reverting the fix still fails 6 tests, and after the module the request loggers are back to their original state. Refs #125
The existing concurrency test sends correlation headers, which are read from the request each time and never stored, so it cannot detect a generated ID leaking between requests. Add a test where header-less requests are held in flight together by a barrier between two log calls, and check that each request's log records carry the ID that request returned, and that later logs get '-'. Reset json_logging before each test in the capture fixture, not only after, so the tests do not depend on earlier modules cleaning up.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAdd a Connexion 2 in-request regression test.
The repository documents Connexion as a supported Flask-backed integration. The current operation test skips every Connexion version except major version 3, while the Connexion 2 test only exercises the outside-request path. Therefore, a regression in supplied correlation-ID handling during a Connexion 2 operation can pass the suite. Add a Connexion 2-compatible operation assertion for the supplied header. Generated-ID, post-request, and concurrency coverage are not required by this finding.

…st context Connexion 3 runs error handlers registered with app.add_error_handler() and ASGI middleware after the wrapped Flask app has returned, so flask.has_request_context() is false there even though a Connexion request is active. The has_request_context() guard added for #125 made those logs return '-' where master returned the request's X-Correlation-ID. When there is no Flask request context, expose the Connexion 3 request only when Connexion's request scope is bound and the request carries a correlation header. A generated ID cannot be stored there (connexion.g is flask.g), so without a header those logs keep '-' instead of a new UUID per record. Connexion 2, Flask and Quart are unchanged. Tests cover an error handler and a post-app middleware with supplied headers, the no-header case, and concurrent ASGI requests with live contexts.

* docs: add tested Gunicorn and Flask integration example Adds example/gunicorn_flask (a Flask app plus a gunicorn.conf.py) and a README that explains what each output looks like: master-process messages stay plain text, workers emit JSON application and request logs, Gunicorn's access log is disabled to avoid a duplicate line per request, and records outside a request carry '-' once #125 is merged. tests/test_gunicorn_flask.py starts the example with a real Gunicorn worker on a Unix socket, sends a supplied-ID request and a generated-ID request, and checks that application and request records carry the same IDs and that no gunicorn.access JSON line is written. gunicorn is added to test-requirements.txt for this test; it is skipped when gunicorn is not installed.

fix: prevent fabricated correlation IDs outside active requests(Fixes #125)Branch
fix/125-correlation-outside-request, commite8ee886.Problem. Flask, Quart and Connexion return a request proxy even when no request is active.
get_current_request()returned it unconditionally, so
RequestUtiltreated the proxy as a request, could not read or store an ID, andreturned a new UUID for every record. Background logs got unrelated IDs.
Reproduced on master (
5177322), two records logged outside any request:f300d310-…f300d48c-…(third record also differed)f340583c-…f3405a08-…f37a795e-…f37a7b0c-…Change. Each extractor's
get_current_request()returns the proxy only when the framework reports an active requestcontext (
flask.has_request_context(),quart.has_request_context()). Otherwise it returnsNone, andRequestUtilalready maps
Nonetojson_logging.EMPTY_VALUE.util.pyis unchanged.Tests.

Compatibility. Only the outside-request value changes (
