Block until a non-blocking genproc run has resolved

await() blocks until the background future of a non-blocking genproc() run has resolved, then returns a genproc_result with log, n_success, n_error, duration_total_secs, and status populated. If the wrapper future itself crashed (a rare case — user errors inside individual cases are caught by the logging layer and are not wrapper crashes), the returned object has status = "error" and a populated error_message.

Usage

await(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'genproc_result'
await(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object. Methods exist for genproc_result.

...

Unused, for future extensions.

Value

A genproc_result with status != "running".

Details

await() is idempotent: calling it on a result that has already been materialized (or was synchronous to begin with) returns it unchanged.
