runBlocking
Runs a new coroutine and blocks the current thread interruptibly until its completion. This function should not be used from a coroutine. It is designed to bridge regular blocking code to libraries that are written in suspending style, to be used in main functions and in tests.
The default CoroutineDispatcher for this builder is an internal implementation of event loop that processes continuations in this blocked thread until the completion of this coroutine. See CoroutineDispatcher for the other implementations that are provided by kotlinx.coroutines.
When CoroutineDispatcher is explicitly specified in the context, then the new coroutine runs in the context of the specified dispatcher while the current thread is blocked. If the specified dispatcher is an event loop of another runBlocking, then this invocation uses the outer event loop.
If this blocked thread is interrupted (see Thread.interrupt), then the coroutine job is cancelled and this runBlocking invocation throws InterruptedException.
See CoroutineScope.newCoroutineContext for a description of debugging facilities that are available for a newly created coroutine.
Parameters
the context of the coroutine. The default value is an event loop on the current thread.
