how can i call launch from a suspend method method and not wait for it? if i wrap the launch call with coroutineScope {} it waits for the job to finish

You need a different scope since you want to escape structured concurrency.

[christophsturm]

can i just pass the scope that runBlocking creates around or is that a terrible idea?

[louiscad]

@christophsturm If that runBlocking is the one from the main function, it's not a bad idea. You need to ensure the runBlocking is supposed to live at least as long as the coroutine you want to launch.
