What’s the best way of spawning children coroutines that do not propagate cancellation upwards. I don’t want to wait for completion and don’t care about canceling either. a) use a dummy Supervisor b) use GlobalScope.launch c) register a CoroutineExceptionHandler on the launch builder

Supervisor is supposed to work and there’s also

supervisorScope

. However, I find that in many cases it doesn’t catch everything, so

CoroutineExceptionHandler

will work

I would first enquire what is your use-cases. What are you trying to achieve? (the answer will depend on that)

It’s for writing an Amazon SQS consumer. This is what I’ve got so far.

When you say “don’t propagete upwards”, you mean “don’t cancel their peers on failure?“. Use

SupervisorJob()

for that!

Thanks!
