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 🙂. That's perfect for me 😄

Or if using Kotlin 1.6,

withTimeout(1.minutes)

🙂 (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
