How to use predicates in an async function? - asynchronous

I use thirtyfour in my Rust script, and it uses tokio as the async runtime.
When I use find in a Vec::iter, it doesn't work as I expect:
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> WebDriverResult<()> {
let dropdown = driver.find_element(By::Tag("select")).await?;
dropdown
.find_elements(By::Tag("option"))
.await?
.iter()
.find(|&&x| x.text() == book_time.date) // Error, x.text() return a futures::Future type while book_time.date return a &str.
.click()
.await?;
}
After I tried Ibraheem Ahmed's solution, I met more errors:
let dropdown = driver.find_element(By::Tag("select")).await?;
let elements = dropdown.find_elements(By::Tag("option")).await?;
let stream = stream::iter(elements);
let elements = stream.filter(|x| async move { x.text().await.unwrap() == target_date });
error: lifetime may not live long enough
--> src\main.rs:125:38
|
125 | let elements = stream.filter(|x| async move { x.text().await.unwrap() == target_date });
| -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ returning this value requires that `'1` must outlive `'2`
| ||
| |return type of closure is impl futures::Future
| has type `&'1 thirtyfour::WebElement<'_>`

There's a good thread on the Rust User's Forum that covers a similar question.
I tried the code snippets below by modifying the thirtyfour tokio_async example. I didn't have your full context, so I created an example that found a link based on its text on the wikipedia.org home page.
filter_map.
let target_value = "Terms of Use";
let found_elements: Vec<_> = stream
.filter_map(|x| async move {
if let Ok(text) = x.text().await {
if text == target_value {
println!("found");
return Some(x);
}
}
None
})
.collect()
.await;
while loop (which is probably not what you are after, but could be a simple solution if your logic fits easily inside)...
while let Some(element) = stream.next().await {
let text = element.text().await?;
println!("link text result: {}", text);
}

You can use a Stream, which is the asynchronous version of Iterator:
use futures::stream::{self, StreamExt};
fn main() {
// ...
let stream = stream::iter(elements).await?;
let elements = stream
.filter(|x| async move { x.text().await.as_deref() == Ok(book_time.date) })
.next()
.click()
.await?;
}

How do I call an async function in a match statement under a non-async main function in Rust? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to use async/await in Rust when you can't make main function async
(4 answers)
How do I synchronously return a value calculated in an asynchronous Future?
(3 answers)
Closed 3 months ago.
I have a program that does various simple things based on user selection.
fn main() {
let mut user_input = String::new(); // Initialize variable to store user input
println!("Select an option:\r\n[1] Get sysinfo\r\n[2] Read/Write File\r\n[3] Download file\r\n[4] Exit"); // Print options
io::stdin().read_line(&mut user_input).expect("You entered something weird you donkey!"); // Get user input and store in variable
let int_input = user_input.trim().parse::<i32>().unwrap(); // Convert user input to int (i32 means signed integer 32 bits)
match int_input { // If Else statement
1 => getsysinfo(), // If int_input == 1, call getsysinfo()
2 => readwritefile(),
3 => downloadfile(),
4 => process::exit(1), // end program
_ => println!("You didn't choose one of the given options, you donkey!") // input validation
}
}
My function downloadfile() looks like this, referenced from the Rust cookbook on downloading files.
error_chain! {
foreign_links {
Io(std::io::Error);
HttpRequest(reqwest::Error);
}
}
async fn downloadfile() -> Result<()> {
let tmp_dir = Builder::new().prefix("example").tempdir()?;
let target = "localhost:8000/downloaded.txt";
let response = reqwest::get(target).await?;
let mut dest = {
let fname = response
.url()
.path_segments()
.and_then(|segments| segments.last())
.and_then(|name| if name.is_empty() { None } else { Some(name) })
.unwrap_or("tmp.bin");
println!("File to download: {}", fname);
let fname = tmp_dir.path().join(fname);
println!("Will be located under: {:?}", fname);
File::create(fname)?
};
let content = response.text().await?;
copy(&mut content.as_bytes(), &mut dest)?;
Ok(())
}
I get the following error:
`match` arms have incompatible types
expected unit type `()`
found opaque type `impl Future<Output = std::result::Result<(), Error>>`
I presume its because the async function returns a Future type, so how can I make this code work?
You need to use the block_on function.
Add futures as a dependency in your cargo.toml for the following example to work.
use futures::executor::block_on;
async fn hello() -> String {
return String::from("Hello world!");
}
fn main() {
let output = block_on(hello());
println!("{output}");
}

How can I mutate the HTML inside a hyper::Response? [duplicate]

I want to write a server using the current master branch of Hyper that saves a message that is delivered by a POST request and sends this message to every incoming GET request.
I have this, mostly copied from the Hyper examples directory:
extern crate futures;
extern crate hyper;
extern crate pretty_env_logger;
use futures::future::FutureResult;
use hyper::{Get, Post, StatusCode};
use hyper::header::{ContentLength};
use hyper::server::{Http, Service, Request, Response};
use futures::Stream;
struct Echo {
data: Vec<u8>,
}
impl Echo {
fn new() -> Self {
Echo {
data: "text".into(),
}
}
}
impl Service for Echo {
type Request = Request;
type Response = Response;
type Error = hyper::Error;
type Future = FutureResult<Response, hyper::Error>;
fn call(&self, req: Self::Request) -> Self::Future {
let resp = match (req.method(), req.path()) {
(&Get, "/") | (&Get, "/echo") => {
Response::new()
.with_header(ContentLength(self.data.len() as u64))
.with_body(self.data.clone())
},
(&Post, "/") => {
//self.data.clear(); // argh. &self is not mutable :(
// even if it was mutable... how to put the entire body into it?
//req.body().fold(...) ?
let mut res = Response::new();
if let Some(len) = req.headers().get::<ContentLength>() {
res.headers_mut().set(ContentLength(0));
}
res.with_body(req.body())
},
_ => {
Response::new()
.with_status(StatusCode::NotFound)
}
};
futures::future::ok(resp)
}
}
fn main() {
pretty_env_logger::init().unwrap();
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().unwrap();
let server = Http::new().bind(&addr, || Ok(Echo::new())).unwrap();
println!("Listening on http://{} with 1 thread.", server.local_addr().unwrap());
server.run().unwrap();
}
How do I turn the req.body() (which seems to be a Stream of Chunks) into a Vec<u8>? I assume I must somehow return a Future that consumes the Stream and turns it into a single Vec<u8>, maybe with fold(). But I have no clue how to do that.
Hyper 0.13 provides a body::to_bytes function for this purpose.
use hyper::body;
use hyper::{Body, Response};
pub async fn read_response_body(res: Response<Body>) -> Result<String, hyper::Error> {
let bytes = body::to_bytes(res.into_body()).await?;
Ok(String::from_utf8(bytes.to_vec()).expect("response was not valid utf-8"))
}
I'm going to simplify the problem to just return the total number of bytes, instead of echoing the entire stream.
Futures 0.3
Hyper 0.13 + TryStreamExt::try_fold
See euclio's answer about hyper::body::to_bytes if you just want all the data as one giant blob.
Accessing the stream allows for more fine-grained control:
use futures::TryStreamExt; // 0.3.7
use hyper::{server::Server, service, Body, Method, Request, Response}; // 0.13.9
use std::convert::Infallible;
use tokio; // 0.2.22
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().expect("Unable to parse address");
let server = Server::bind(&addr).serve(service::make_service_fn(|_conn| async {
Ok::<_, Infallible>(service::service_fn(echo))
}));
println!("Listening on http://{}.", server.local_addr());
if let Err(e) = server.await {
eprintln!("Error: {}", e);
}
}
async fn echo(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, hyper::Error> {
let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
match (parts.method, parts.uri.path()) {
(Method::POST, "/") => {
let entire_body = body
.try_fold(Vec::new(), |mut data, chunk| async move {
data.extend_from_slice(&chunk);
Ok(data)
})
.await;
entire_body.map(|body| {
let body = Body::from(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len()));
Response::new(body)
})
}
_ => {
let body = Body::from("Can only POST to /");
Ok(Response::new(body))
}
}
}
Unfortunately, the current implementation of Bytes is no longer compatible with TryStreamExt::try_concat, so we have to switch back to a fold.
Futures 0.1
hyper 0.12 + Stream::concat2
Since futures 0.1.14, you can use Stream::concat2 to stick together all the data into one:
fn concat2(self) -> Concat2<Self>
where
Self: Sized,
Self::Item: Extend<<Self::Item as IntoIterator>::Item> + IntoIterator + Default,
use futures::{
future::{self, Either},
Future, Stream,
}; // 0.1.25
use hyper::{server::Server, service, Body, Method, Request, Response}; // 0.12.20
use tokio; // 0.1.14
fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().expect("Unable to parse address");
let server = Server::bind(&addr).serve(|| service::service_fn(echo));
println!("Listening on http://{}.", server.local_addr());
let server = server.map_err(|e| eprintln!("Error: {}", e));
tokio::run(server);
}
fn echo(req: Request<Body>) -> impl Future<Item = Response<Body>, Error = hyper::Error> {
let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
match (parts.method, parts.uri.path()) {
(Method::POST, "/") => {
let entire_body = body.concat2();
let resp = entire_body.map(|body| {
let body = Body::from(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len()));
Response::new(body)
});
Either::A(resp)
}
_ => {
let body = Body::from("Can only POST to /");
let resp = future::ok(Response::new(body));
Either::B(resp)
}
}
}
You could also convert the Bytes into a Vec<u8> via entire_body.to_vec() and then convert that to a String.

How do I convert a Vector of bytes (u8) to a string
hyper 0.11 + Stream::fold
Similar to Iterator::fold, Stream::fold takes an accumulator (called init) and a function that operates on the accumulator and an item from the stream. The result of the function must be another future with the same error type as the original. The total result is itself a future.
fn fold<F, T, Fut>(self, init: T, f: F) -> Fold<Self, F, Fut, T>
where
F: FnMut(T, Self::Item) -> Fut,
Fut: IntoFuture<Item = T>,
Self::Error: From<Fut::Error>,
Self: Sized,
We can use a Vec as the accumulator. Body's Stream implementation returns a Chunk. This implements Deref<[u8]>, so we can use that to append each chunk's data to the Vec.
extern crate futures; // 0.1.23
extern crate hyper; // 0.11.27
use futures::{Future, Stream};
use hyper::{
server::{Http, Request, Response, Service}, Post,
};
fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().unwrap();
let server = Http::new().bind(&addr, || Ok(Echo)).unwrap();
println!(
"Listening on http://{} with 1 thread.",
server.local_addr().unwrap()
);
server.run().unwrap();
}
struct Echo;
impl Service for Echo {
type Request = Request;
type Response = Response;
type Error = hyper::Error;
type Future = Box<futures::Future<Item = Response, Error = Self::Error>>;
fn call(&self, req: Self::Request) -> Self::Future {
match (req.method(), req.path()) {
(&Post, "/") => {
let f = req.body()
.fold(Vec::new(), |mut acc, chunk| {
acc.extend_from_slice(&*chunk);
futures::future::ok::<_, Self::Error>(acc)
})
.map(|body| Response::new().with_body(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len())));
Box::new(f)
}
_ => panic!("Nope"),
}
}
}
You could also convert the Vec<u8> body to a String.
See also:
How do I convert a Vector of bytes (u8) to a string
Output
When called from the command line, we can see the result:
$ curl -X POST --data hello http://127.0.0.1:12346/
Read 5 bytes
Warning
All of these solutions allow a malicious end user to POST an infinitely sized file, which would cause the machine to run out of memory. Depending on the intended use, you may wish to establish some kind of cap on the number of bytes read, potentially writing to the filesystem at some breakpoint.
See also:
How do I apply a limit to the number of bytes read by futures::Stream::concat2?
Most of the answers on this topic are outdated or overly complicated. The solution is pretty simple:
/*
WARNING for beginners!!! This use statement
is important so we can later use .data() method!!!
*/
use hyper::body::HttpBody;
let my_vector: Vec<u8> = request.into_body().data().await.unwrap().unwrap().to_vec();
let my_string = String::from_utf8(my_vector).unwrap();
You can also use body::to_bytes as #euclio answered. Both approaches are straight-forward! Don't forget to handle unwrap properly.

How to implement a Future or Stream that polls an async fn?

I have a struct Test I want to implement std::future::Future that would poll function:
use std::{
future::Future,
pin::Pin,
task::{Context, Poll},
};
struct Test;
impl Test {
async fn function(&mut self) {}
}
impl Future for Test {
type Output = ();
fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output> {
match self.function() {
Poll::Pending => Poll::Pending,
Poll::Ready(_) => Poll::Ready(()),
}
}
}
That didn't work:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:17:13
|
10 | async fn function(&mut self) {}
| - the `Output` of this `async fn`'s expected opaque type
...
17 | Poll::Pending => Poll::Pending,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected opaque type, found enum `Poll`
|
= note: expected opaque type `impl Future`
found enum `Poll<_>`
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:18:13
|
10 | async fn function(&mut self) {}
| - the `Output` of this `async fn`'s expected opaque type
...
18 | Poll::Ready(_) => Poll::Ready(()),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected opaque type, found enum `Poll`
|
= note: expected opaque type `impl Future`
found enum `Poll<_>`
I understand that function must be called once, the returned Future must be stored somewhere in the struct, and then the saved future must be polled. I tried this:
struct Test(Option<Box<Pin<dyn Future<Output = ()>>>>);
impl Test {
async fn function(&mut self) {}
fn new() -> Self {
let mut s = Self(None);
s.0 = Some(Box::pin(s.function()));
s
}
}
That also didn't work:
error[E0277]: the size for values of type `(dyn Future<Output = ()> + 'static)` cannot be known at compilation time
--> src/lib.rs:7:13
|
7 | struct Test(Option<Box<Pin<dyn Future<Output = ()>>>>);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ doesn't have a size known at compile-time
|
= help: the trait `Sized` is not implemented for `(dyn Future<Output = ()> + 'static)`
After I call function() I have taken a &mut reference of Test, because of that I can't change the Test variable, and therefore can't store the returned Future inside the Test.
I did get an unsafe solution (inspired by this)
struct Test<'a>(Option<BoxFuture<'a, ()>>);
impl Test<'_> {
async fn function(&mut self) {
println!("I'm alive!");
}
fn new() -> Self {
let mut s = Self(None);
s.0 = Some(unsafe { &mut *(&mut s as *mut Self) }.function().boxed());
s
}
}
impl Future for Test<'_> {
type Output = ();
fn poll(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output> {
self.0.as_mut().unwrap().poll_unpin(cx)
}
}
I hope that there is another way.
Though there are times when you may want to do things similar to what you're trying to accomplish here, they are a rarity. So most people reading this, maybe even OP, may wish to restructure such that struct state and data used for a single async execution are different objects.
To answer your question, yes it is somewhat possible. Unless you want to absolutely resort to unsafe code you will need to use Mutex and Arc. All fields you wish to manipulate inside the async fn will have to be wrapped inside a Mutex and the function itself will accept an Arc<Self>.
I must stress, however, that this is not a beautiful solution and you probably don't want to do this. Depending on your specific case your solution may vary, but my guess of what OP is trying to accomplish while using Streams would be better solved by something similar to this gist that I wrote.
use std::{
future::Future,
pin::Pin,
sync::{Arc, Mutex},
};
struct Test {
state: Mutex<Option<Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()>>>>>,
// if available use your async library's Mutex to `.await` locks on `buffer` instead
buffer: Mutex<Vec<u8>>,
}
impl Test {
async fn function(self: Arc<Self>) {
for i in 0..16u8 {
let data: Vec<u8> = vec![i]; // = fs::read(&format("file-{}.txt", i)).await.unwrap();
let mut buflock = self.buffer.lock().unwrap();
buflock.extend_from_slice(&data);
}
}
pub fn new() -> Arc<Self> {
let s = Arc::new(Self {
state: Default::default(),
buffer: Default::default(),
});
{
// start by trying to aquire a lock to the Mutex of the Box
let mut lock = s.state.lock().unwrap();
// create boxed future
let b = Box::pin(s.clone().function());
// insert value into the mutex
*lock = Some(b);
} // block causes the lock to be released
s
}
}
impl Future for Test {
type Output = ();
fn poll(
self: std::pin::Pin<&mut Self>,
ctx: &mut std::task::Context<'_>,
) -> std::task::Poll<<Self as std::future::Future>::Output> {
let mut lock = self.state.lock().unwrap();
let fut: &mut Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()>>> = lock.as_mut().unwrap();
Future::poll(fut.as_mut(), ctx)
}
}
I'm not sure what you want to achieve and why, but I suspect that you're trying to implement Future for Test based on some ancient tutorial or misunderstanding and just overcomplicating things.
You don't have to implement Future manually. An async function
async fn function(...) {...}
is really just syntax sugar translated behind the scenes into something like
fn function(...) -> Future<()> {...}
All you have to do is to use the result of the function the same way as any future, e.g. use await on it or call block a reactor until it's finished. E.g. based on your first version, you can simply call:
let mut test = Test{};
test.function().await;
UPDATE1
Based on your descriptions I still think you're trying to overcomplicate this minimal working snippet without the need to manually implement Future for anything:
async fn asyncio() { println!("Doing async IO"); }
struct Test {
count: u32,
}
impl Test {
async fn function(&mut self) {
asyncio().await;
self.count += 1;
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut test = Test{count: 0};
test.function().await;
println!("Count: {}", test.count);
}

How do I handle errors in Warp using both Rejection and the question-mark operator?

Using warp.rs 0.2.2, let's consider a basic web service with one route for GET /:
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> {
let getRoot = warp::get().and(warp::path::end()).and_then(routes::getRoot);
warp::serve(getRoot).run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 3030)).await;
Ok(())
}
My goal is to use ? for error handling in the route handlers, so let's write one that can error and return early in crate::routes:
use crate::errors::ServiceError;
use url::Url;
pub async fn getRoot() -> Result<impl warp::Reply, warp::Rejection> {
let _parsed_url = Url::parse(&"https://whydoesn.it/work?").map_err(ServiceError::from)?;
Ok("Hello world !")
}
This version works.
Here the error that's returned by Url::parse() is a url::ParseError
To convert between error types, from url::ParseError to ServiceError, then from ServiceError to warp::Rejection, I've written some error helpers in crate::errors:
#[derive(thiserror::Error, Debug)]
pub enum ServiceError {
#[error(transparent)]
Other(#[from] anyhow::Error), // source and Display delegate to anyhow::Error
}
impl warp::reject::Reject for ServiceError {}
impl From<ServiceError> for warp::reject::Rejection {
fn from(e: ServiceError) -> Self {
warp::reject::custom(e)
}
}
impl From<url::ParseError> for ServiceError {
fn from(e: url::ParseError) -> Self {
ServiceError::Other(e.into())
}
}
Now, the above works, and I'm trying to shorten the second code block to use ? for error handling directly, and convert automatically from the underlying error (here url::ParseError) to a warp::Rejection.
Here's what I've tried:
use crate::errors::ServiceError;
use url::Url;
pub async fn getRoot() -> Result<impl warp::Reply, ServiceError> {
let _parsed_url = Url::parse(&"https://whydoesn.it/work?")?;
Ok("Hello world !")
}
The url::ParseError returned by Url::Parse will convert fine into a ServiceError to return, but returning a ServiceError from my handler doesn't work.
The first compilation error I get is:
error[E0277]: the trait bound `errors::ServiceError: warp::reject::sealed::CombineRejection<warp::reject::Rejection>` is not satisfied
--> src/main.rs:102:54
|
102 | let getRoot = warp::get().and(warp::path::end()).and_then(routes::getRoot);
| ^^^^^^^^ the trait `warp::reject::sealed::CombineRejection<warp::reject::Rejection>` is not implemented for `errors::ServiceError`
Is there a way I can keep the short error handling using ? only and either:
make ServiceError implement warp::reject::sealed::CombineRejection<warp::reject::Rejection> ?
work around that ?
You can implement From to convert your error type into warp::Rejection using reject::custom. Rejection encapsulates custom types which you can later choose to inspect inside of a recover handler.
This example uses a plain error struct, but if you have an error enum you can match on the variants inside the recovery handler and perform different logic as needed.
use serde::Deserialize;
use snafu::{ensure, Snafu};
use std::convert::Infallible;
use warp::{
filters::{any, query, BoxedFilter},
http::StatusCode,
reject::Reject,
Filter, Rejection, Reply,
};
// A normal error type, created by SNAFU
#[derive(Debug, Snafu)]
#[snafu(display("Expected a value less than 10, but it was {}", value))]
struct LessThanTenError {
value: i32,
}
// A function that might fail
fn validate(value: i32) -> Result<i32, LessThanTenError> {
ensure!(value < 10, LessThanTenContext { value });
Ok(value)
}
// We need a custom type to later extract from the `Rejection`. In
// this case, we can reuse the error type itself.
impl Reject for LessThanTenError {}
// To allow using `?`, we implement a conversion from our error to
// `Rejection`
impl From<LessThanTenError> for Rejection {
fn from(other: LessThanTenError) -> Self {
warp::reject::custom(other)
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let api = simple_math().recover(report_invalid);
let p: std::net::SocketAddr = "0.0.0.0:8888".parse().unwrap();
warp::serve(api).run(p).await;
}
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct QueryParams {
a: i32,
b: i32,
}
fn simple_math() -> BoxedFilter<(impl Reply,)> {
any::any()
.and(query::query())
.and_then(|args: QueryParams| async move {
// Look at us using those question marks!
let a = validate(args.a)?;
let b = validate(args.b)?;
let sum = validate(a + b)?;
// We specify that we are returning an error type of
// `Rejection`, which allows the compiler to know what
// type to convert to when using `?` here.
Ok::<_, Rejection>(format!("The sum is {}", sum))
})
.boxed()
}
async fn report_invalid(r: Rejection) -> Result<impl Reply, Infallible> {
if let Some(e) = r.find::<LessThanTenError>() {
// It was our specific error type, do whatever we want. We
// will just print out the error text.
Ok(warp::reply::with_status(
e.to_string(),
StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST,
))
} else {
// Do prettier error reporting for the default error here.
Ok(warp::reply::with_status(
String::from("Something bad happened"),
StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
))
}
}

How do you define custom `Error` types in Rust?
From my findings, there are two solutions.
Abandon ? in favor of your own macro that constructs and returns a response if there is an error.
Use PR #458 by cjbassi instead of the mainline release by:
Implementing warp::reply::Reply on your error type so that it converts into the correct user facing error message.
Replace warp = "0.2" with warp = { git = "https://github.com/cjbassi/warp.git", branch = "error"} in your Cargo.toml file

How can I implement a Future which is woken up from another thread in Futures 0.2?

I'm trying to find a simple way to implement the Future trait from the future crate, version 0.2.1:
extern crate futures;
use futures::executor::ThreadPool;
use futures::prelude::*;
use futures::task::Context;
use std::{thread, time::Duration};
struct SendThree {
firstTime: bool,

My problem is that the Context variable is not Send so I can't call wake from another thread:
error[E0277]: the trait bound `futures::executor::Executor: std::marker::Send` is not satisfied
--> src/main.rs:19:13

19 | thread::spawn(move || {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `futures::executor::Executor` cannot be sent between threads safely

= help: the trait `std::marker::Send` is not implemented for `futures::executor::Executor`
= note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `std::marker::Send` for `&mut futures::executor::Executor`
= note: required because it appears within the type `std::option::Option<&mut futures::executor::Executor>`
= note: required because it appears within the type `futures::task::Context<'_>`
= note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `std::marker::Send` for `&mut futures::task::Context<'_>`
= note: required because it appears within the type `[closure#src/main.rs:19:27: 22:14 ctx:&mut futures::task::Context<'_>]`
= note: required by `std::thread::spawn`
If I change the code to this it works, but I can't do a thread::sleep without blocking:
if self.firstTime {
self.firstTime = false;
ctx.waker().wake();
Ok(Async::Pending)
}
Is there an idiomatic way to implement this?
While Context isn't able to be sent across threads, a Waker is:
fn poll(&mut self, ctx: &mut Context) -> Result<Async<Self::Item>, Never> {
if self.first_time {
self.first_time = false;
let waker = ctx.waker().clone();
thread::spawn(move || {
thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
waker.wake();
});
Ok(Async::Pending)
} else {
Ok(Async::Ready(3))
}
}
Note that this is a really inefficient way to implement timeouts. There are Futures-native methods that should be used instead.
