When running this

println("received update."); launch(CommonPool) { println("in pool"); //more code }

code on my desktop, it does print

received updated.

and

in pool

, but when running it on an Digital Ocean droplet it only prints

received update.

. Any reason why?

Can it be that your main function exits before scheduled code runs? Does adding

sleep

helps?

No, I already have infinite sleep

That’s weird, can you test that direct use of `CompletableFuture`works?

Where should I put that? Replace launch(CommonPool) with CompletableFuture.runAsync ?

Yep, something like this

It doesn't compile because a suspending function should only be called from a coroutine or other suspending function. Is there a way to ignore these errors and run a suspending function on the main thread/not in a coroutine?

Well, you don’t need to put suspending function inside, just println or something. But if you have really some more complex code, you might want to check if it throws and exception is lost/ignored or something.

How would I do that, because the first function that is being run is

println("in pool")

Can you reproduce the problem with some small use-case? Does it persist without "more code" inside?
