@elizarov have you considered a different name for

suspend fun Completable.await()

since rx.Completable has a member function with the same name?

adambl4: Yes. Did not found anything good. Meanwhile, I’ve just removed

Completable.await

from Rx 1.x module. It is not a problem with Rx 2.x. It does not have this name conflict (there is no

Completable.await

there)

In Rx2 theyre called blockingAwait() which describes better the behaviour

Maybe .suspendAwait() for the ones on kotlinx coroutines?

await

seems to be a more natural name and you already get a visual cue in IDE that this is a suspending invocation going on.

I like the naming in Rx2 and, since Rx1 is reaching EOL this year, hopefully it is not going to be a long-term issue.

I wish all the blocking methods would have been as clearly marked as in Rx 2 in all the different APIs and libs we have.

@elizarov I meant only for the rx1 as a temporary solution. Agree that await is the preferred choice

And yes, a lot of libraries could follow the example of Rx 2

It is just really a few lines of code. You can copy it from the Rx 2.x lib if you really need it (take it from

develop

branch, though, — there is a bug in master version of Rx2 Completable.await)
