Fix Nil Pointer Dereference in SendWork Function for #408
This closes #408
Description
This PR addresses a critical bug in the
SendWork
function within theworkers.go
file, where a nil pointer dereference panic occurs under certain conditions. The issue was identified in the remote worker spawning logic, specifically when theSpawnNamed
method returns a nil PID*actor.PID
, and subsequent operations attempt to use this nil pointer, leading to a runtime panic.Changes
spawnedPID
: Added a nil check immediately after attempting to spawn a new actor withSpawnNamed
. IfspawnedPID
is nil, the function logs an error and returns early from the goroutine, preventing the nil pointer dereference.Impact
