Subject: Wait for function to execute?
Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2017 00:34:40 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a4aac7df-74f1-c962-a925-7254e83940f2@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello.
I have a case where I'm writing a unit test(A) that needs to wait for a
function(B) that's called by a process sentinel for a process started by
this unit test. So, when A runs, B runs too, eventually... Since it's a
unit test, changing B is off limits.
So far I'm thinking of advising B using advice-once described by Drew
here <https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/26260/9143>. As my advice
function I would use a closure that wraps over some condition. Then I
would have a while loop that sleeps until that condition is fulfilled.
All this wrapped into one beautiful(ha!) macro. Are there any more, ugh,
reasonable options?
