I'm trying to write a fire-and-forget service which offloads jobs to worker threads am I doing it the right way? I don't want the Test service to fail even if the Job fails because each Job is independent, I just want the error handling.

class Test : CoroutineScope {

    override val coroutineContext = Dispatchers.Default + SupervisorJob()

    fun doSomething(): Job {
        val handler = CoroutineExceptionHandler { _, exception ->
            // log error
        }
        return launch(handler) {
            // do things
        }
    }
}

@gildor do you have any idea about this?

[gildor]

Looks fine, but I would handle error with try/catch in // do things, but it depends on case of course

[addamsson]

thanks!

[addamsson]

I added a handler because it might happen that an exception is thrown in the catch block

[addamsson]

and that leads to missed errors

[addamsson]

if I understand the concept correctly

[gildor]

Isn't better to handle than exception in catch block? It just looks for me more explicitl than exception handler

[addamsson]

it is

[addamsson]

i'm just not 100% sure what would happen if an exception is thrown in the catch block
