Hi, just starting to ge my head around coroutines. Love them but have a question. I am using Channels as a queue between coroutines and would like to receive a message but timeout if no message appears within say 1 second. I am currently using

withTimeout(1000){ incoming.receive() }

to do this but it seems to be hanging rather than timing out. Am I missing something?

Could you please post all of the code as a gist and put a link here? It's hard to say anything from just a receiver you've posted.

Thanks, I have sorted it out I wasn't handling the

TimeoutCancellationException

properly

You can also use

withTimeoutOrNull

. Sometimes it is more convenient.

Thanks, will have more of a thorough investigation later.
