In a unit test I am checking that a core async channel is empty. I couldn't find any `empty?` function for core async channels, and since `<!!` blocks if there's no message, I ended up putting a sentinel on the channel and verifying that the next message read is the one.
(let [sentinel (keyword (gensym))] (is (= sentinel (do (>!! channel sentinel) (<!! channel))))))) This appears to work fine, but how would I do it if it was not a test, and I couldn't put random messages on the channel? Would I have to use `alts!!` and a timeout? Stig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
