is there a way to wait for not yet started coroutine? I want to achieve something similar to

yield

but with the coroutine that'll be started in the future

I don't get what you mean by something similar to

yield()

? are you talking about the Sequence

yield()

or the top-level

yield()

?

top-level

yield

yield

doesn't wait for anything though

thanks! Will checkout completable deffered

What about a call to

CoroutineScope.async(start=LAZY)

? This will return a

Deferred<T>

and the Coroutine won't yet be running. It will start only after calling

await()

,

start()

(and some other methods) on it. https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/async.html

oo that's cool, it's really close to something that I wanted to achieve, thanks! I was trying to avoid having some handle/object on coroutine that needs to do the waiting and was wondering if it can be automagically done through some await or yield mechanism under the hood. But I guess it's close enough

Coroutines try to stop being automagical beyond the

suspend

keyword :)

good point, I guess it's better to keep things simple 🙂
