In the Ktor server() function in suspendApp library, is there a way to add a connector { } for an internal port?

[simon.vergauwen]

It exposes the exact same API as the original embeddedServer API from Ktor except as an extension on ResourceScope.

[dave08]

There's a bunch of overrides to that api... one of them is:

CoroutineScope.embeddedServer(
    factory: ApplicationEngineFactory<TEngine, TConfiguration>,
    vararg connectors: EngineConnectorConfig = arrayOf(EngineConnectorBuilder()),
    watchPaths: List<String> = listOf(WORKING_DIRECTORY_PATH),
    parentCoroutineContext: CoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext,
    configure: TConfiguration.() -> Unit = {},
    module: Application.() -> Unit
): TEngine

and another one receives a applicationEngineEnvironment... those can configure multiple connectors... but the one you wrap only provides one port.

Then it should be added to SuspendApp Ktor

[dave08]

Yeah. I could just write my own, though I'd suppose more people could benefit from this 😊.

[dave08]

Oh... can't just copy and alter the existing implementation:

Another reason to have in in suspendApp 🙈

Yes, we had to add our own implementation for this 😅

A PR to SuspendApp would be greatly appreciated.

I could see if I have a bit of time (a bit too much to do now...), but how could I get around this meanwhile?

[dave08]

Well, I guess I'd give up on that watchPaths for now then...
