Hi everyone, I would like to know when the hang of `channelFlow.collect` will resume? If there is a task in the `channelFlow` block that doesn’t know when it will complete, when will the coroutines channel close?

I’m a little curious what the criteria is for the channel to determine `channelFlow` completion, is it to wait a while without any `send` and then end the hang?

I responded to your other thread in <#C19FD9681|gradle>.

<@U030S9809PH> Thank you, but I also want to understand how `channelFlow`  resume works hahaha

Without `awaitClose`, the flow will terminate as soon as the code inside the builder is done executing. With `awaitClose`, it will run forever, until you explicitly stop collecting it. If you want anything different from those two options, you would need to implement it manually by calling `close()`  on the channel inside the builder.

In your Gradle example, `configureEach` just registers a callback that will be invoked "as each element is required", so it's likely that the flow would complete immediately, before the callback has been invoked on any of the items.
