maybe using async and await?

[Jonathan Walsh]

I think async is what you need along with awaitAll

[marcelo]

thank you Jonathan!

[Jonathan Walsh]

return pkg.templates.map { renderTemplatePath ->{ 
    async {
       timer.time{
         //...
      }
    }
   }.awaitAll().toSet()

[marcelo]

checking it out...

[Jonathan Walsh]

let me know if that works, I’m still learning too

[Felix]

I believe awaitAll is also a suspend function, so you can only call if from another suspend function or lambda.

Why do you want to make createRenders async? What blocking operations are you doing inside it?

[marcelo]

yeah, I'm getting the dreaded "...should be called from another ..." right what @Felix said

[marcelo]

I have a timer function which does the async inside

Why isn't createRenders a suspending function?

[marcelo]

createRenders is a legacy app that I inherited.
