Hello, I'm using IntelliJ to try out coroutines on the JVM. I have a pretty simple method that calls

GlobalScope.launch

, awaits a deferred value, prints its contents, and then outside of the launch method, prints a concluding String. All of this is working great. The process is still running when these two print tasks complete however. What is keeping it alive, and can I gracefully shutdown when all my work has been completed? Edit: Updated code block from Louis' comments

suspend fun main() {
    val api = createRestApi<RestApi>("<https://catfact.ninja/>", okHttpClient(), moshi)

    coroutineScope {
        val facts = api.getFacts().await()
        println(facts.data)
    }
    println("That's all")
}

You should wrap with

coroutineScope { … }

instead of using

GlobalScope

I've updated the function and it looks much nicer (and is now structured). The process is still running after "Thats all" is printed however

It was an okhttp issue: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/4029
