I'm trying the new kotlinx 0.26.0 toys, I struggel on something.
I had a Job that I used as a parent for coroutines in this class. At some point I did a job.join() to make sure all operations were over.

Now, I made this class implement CoroutineScope, I run some operations in launch(Dispatchers.Main+job)
But job.join() is not effective anymore, and I cannot use coroutineContext[Job] for it.

How should I do to have a 'global' Job which I could use?

You CoroutineScope implementation should return Dispatcher.Main+job as its coroutineContext and then you can simply launch { ... } in this class. job.join() should work as before. Share a piece of your code in a gist if it does not.

Actually, it's <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>+job

And job.join() still doesn't resume 😞

Also, the launch(Dispatchers.Main+job) is in a child class. Could it be the cause? `coroutinecontext should still be the same

Can you write some small self-contained reproducer?

[dekans]

yep, so it doesn't I reproduce in the very same instance,
here is a gist:

I was just preparing it 🙂

job.joinChildren() seems to do what I want.

Am I correct?
