Scope::awaitAfterCancellation

(PHP 8.6+, True Async 1.0)

public function awaitAfterCancellation(
    ?callable $errorHandler = null,
    ?Awaitable $cancellation = null
): void

Waits for all coroutines in the scope to complete, including zombie coroutines. Requires a prior call to cancel(). This method is used for graceful scope termination when you need to wait until all coroutines (including zombies) finish their work.

Parameters

errorHandler — a callback function for handling zombie coroutine errors. Accepts a \Throwable as an argument. If null, errors are ignored.

cancellation — an Awaitable object to interrupt the wait. If null, the wait is not time-limited.

Return Value

No value is returned.

Examples

Example #1 Graceful termination with error handling

<?php

use Async\Scope;

$scope = new Scope();

$scope->spawn(function() {
    \Async\delay(1000);
    echo "Task completed\n";
});

$scope->spawn(function() {
    \Async\delay(5000);
    throw new \RuntimeException("Background task error");
});

// First, cancel
$scope->cancel();

// Then wait for all coroutines to finish
$scope->awaitAfterCancellation(
    errorHandler: function(\Throwable $e) {
        error_log("Zombie error: " . $e->getMessage());
    }
);

Example #2 Waiting with a timeout

<?php

use Async\Scope;
use function Async\timeout;

$scope = new Scope();

$scope->spawn(function() {
    // Zombie coroutine that takes a long time to finish
    try {
        \Async\delay(30_000);
    } catch (\Async\CancelledException) {
        // Resource cleanup
        \Async\delay(2000);
    }
});

$scope->cancel();

$scope->awaitAfterCancellation(
    errorHandler: function(\Throwable $e) {
        error_log($e->getMessage());
    },
    cancellation: timeout(5000)
);
