Currently I have a suspend fun <http://CoroutineContext.xyz|CoroutineContext.xyz>() and I perform a check and then call coroutineContext.cancel() and then throw a CancellationException.

What do you mean by check? Also note that whenever you switch contexts (withContext), the runnables will automatically not be called if the coroutine is cancelled

If you also just want to insert breakpoints during an execution, you can use yield()

[Paul Woitaschek]

So you suggest to just throw the exception?

[Allan Wang]

Throwing alone should work

[Allan Wang]

You also might not want to use both suspend and CoroutineScope extensions in one method. Suspending functions are long executions whereas coroutine scope functions launch and return quickly

[Paul Woitaschek]

It was only to cancel the job

Thanks!
