A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi ! I'm using
```coroutineScope.launch {```
in order to start a coroutine in my code. But is there a variant of `launch` which runs the coroutine for a given amount of time, instead of infinitely ? Because otherwise, I'm afraid my code, which is a bit a kind of spaghetti as now, will be worse.

no there is no such coroutine builder, but you can wrap launch body into `withTimeout`/`withTimeoutOrNull`:
```scope.launch { 
    withTimeout(60_000) {
       // code here will be cancelled after 1 minute
    }
}```

Thank you very much :slightly_smiling_face:. That's perfect for me :smile:

Or if using Kotlin 1.6, `withTimeout(1.minutes)` :slightly_smiling_face: (but `withTimeout(Duration)` is still experimental AFAIK even though `Duration` is stable now)

I guess it is caused by coroutines is not yet in 1.6
