Timers API: async function execution #351

Is there a case to make callables async functions provided to timers? If so, can you please show example? For now, for me, it's just ignoring everything in the callable function for the timer that is async.

Try to wrap your async function in ic_cdk::spawn(), i.e.:

async async_fn() {
     call().await;
    ...
}

let _id = timer::set_timer(..., || ic_cdk::spawn(async_fn()));

Awesome, it works, thanks. 🙏
