I have a method called StartAsync
which await different task, this is the design:
public async Task StartAsync(int instance)
{
await SomeController.Foo();
await AnotherController.Foo2();
}
Now I need to run the StartAsync
method multiple times, so I have created different Task
, in this way I can manage a single execution of the Task
of StartAsync
:
Task bot1 = new Task(async () => { await new Bot().StartAsync(1); });
Task bot2 = new Task(async () => { await new Bot().StartAsync(2); });
these Tasks
can be started by the input, essentially, if the user press 1
then the bot1
Task will start:
public async Task<bool> StartBotInstanceAsync(int instance)
{
try
{
switch(instance)
{
case 1:
await bot1.Start(); //<- Problem here
break;
case 2:
bot2.Start();
break;
}
return true;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Logger.Info(ex.ToString());
return false;
}
}
Essentially I need to write a log when an exception happen in side the try catch block, but for doing this I need to await the Task
result, unfortunately I get this error:
Cannot await void
on await bot1.Start();
How can I manage the exception in this type of situation?
If you wish to do it with your current structure then you will need 2 separate statements.
case 1:
bot1.Start();
await bot1;
break;
If you want to use multiple bot instances, store them in an array and use the instance
parameter as the index, eg :
_bots=new[]{ new Bot(),new Bot()};
public async Task<bool> StartBotInstanceAsync(int instance)
{
try
{
await _bots[instance-1].StartAsync();
return true;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Logger.Info(ex.ToString());
return false;
}
}
Or even better :
public async Task<bool> StartBotInstanceAsync(Bot bot)
{
try
{
await bot.StartAsync();
return true;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Logger.Info(ex.ToString());
return false;
}
}
var myBot=_bots[instance-1];
var started=await StartBotInstanceAsync(myBot);
More complex flows can be created easily by using async
functions that take the bot as a parameter, eg :
public async Task SomeComplexFlow(Bot bot)
{
try
{
await bot.StartAsync();
await bot.DoSomething();
...
}
catch(Exception exc)
{
...
}
}
var myBot=_bots[instance-1];
await SomeComplexFlow(myBot);
It's possible to await multiple tasks for completion too. One coud use Task.WhenAll
to wait for all bots to terminate, eg :
await Task.WhenAll(_bots[0].StopAsync()...);
Or, better yet :
var tasks=_bots.Select(bot=>bot.StopAsync());
await Tasks.WhenAll(tasks);
