Not sure if isActive helps you: https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/is-active.html

no, it doesn't 😛 thanks anyway

You can do scope[Job].children.find { it.isActive }

This isn't universal, depends on what children you add, but if you don't create child scopes using Job(scope[Job]) you should be fine.

An alternative would be to execute your actions with an actor. With the default capacity, it ensures that only one action is executed at a given time, suspending requests to execute another action until done with the current.
