Hey all! Is there a way to run a Coroutine inside a lambda function?
I'm creating this lambda inside a
suspend
function
d
...yes, same way you'd run a coroutine anywhere else - using
launch
. Have you tried it and come up against difficulties?
h
It cannot access
launch
inside the lambda function
when I try to run my suspend function from here it generates the following error:
Suspension functions can be called only within coroutine body
i
Make your lambda
suspend
?
h
how can I do that? The lambda is accepted as an argument to a function in a 3rd party lib
right now I've to explicitly pass a
CoroutineScope
to run the coroutine. But would like to avoid that if possible

Ah, you failed to mention that you didn't control both sides. Passing in the correct scope seems like your best option then
