<p>How to spawn an external command and give it a timeout in Rust, with Tokio</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>The entry point for running external applications in Rust is the |
|
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/struct.Command.html">Command</a> structure, |
|
in the process module. This whole structure is duplicated <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/process/struct.Command.html">on Tokio, with |
|
async</a>.</p> |
|
<p>But there is one thing that exist in other languages (like Python) that Rust |
|
doesn't have: Having a timeout for the command (and killing it if it runs over |
|
the timeout). The usual solution is to run the command on a specialized thread |
|
and, with another thread, make sure to kill the first if the second finishes |
|
first.</p> |
|
<p>But Tokio have a funcionality that saves a lot of code when dealing with this: |
|
<a href="https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/time/fn.timeout.html">timeout</a>. While it |
|
doesn't apply to the Command itself, it applies to Futures, and waiting for a |
|
command is an async function, which means it is wrapped around a Future, and we |
|
can leverage this.</p> |

|
<p>The thing here is <code>.wait()</code>. That's when Tokio wraps the command call into a |
|
Future. But, because the task is dead, it doesn't actually kill the command, |
|
and that's why we need to call <code>.kill()</code> in case of timeout -- otherwise the |
|
command will still run (you can check this by removing the <code>.kill()</code> call on |
|
the 25s block, and calling <code>ps</code> after the application finishes).</p> |
|
<p>Just note that the <code>if let Err(_)</code> is for timeout; <code>.wait()</code> also returns a |
|
<code>Result</code>, and that's the one that needs to be checked for the actual success of |
|
the execution.</p> |
