What’s the idiomatic way of canceling runBlocking? I’m bridging a blocking API that gives me a CancelationSignal that can notify when canceled

[ansman]

Seems like I can cancel the context as normal, there used to be an issue with this: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/586

But it has since been fixed

Sorry, so did you find what you were looking for? Out of curiosity, whats the result from the runBlocking, did you get it to throw a CancellationException? or does it use java-1-5 "interruption" flag & exception?

[ansman]

Yes, this throws a CancellationException as expected:

runBlocking {
    coroutineContext.cancel()
}
