I a new to Kotlin and Ktor in particular, so I have tried to do simple post request. As you can see below, there is nothing special.
routing {
post("/articles/add"){
val post = call.receive<ArticleRequest>()
println(post)
}
Error shown in logs is below and I don't understand why I should use here coroutines.
ERROR Application - Unhandled: POST - /articles/add
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Using blocking primitives on this dispatcher is not allowed. Consider using async channel instead or use blocking primitives in withContext(Dispatchers.IO) instead.
I am using 1.4.2 version. I would appreciate any help.
If you are using Jackson this is a bug and there is a suggested workaround:
routing {
post("/articles/add") {
with(Dispatchers.IO) {
val post = call.receive<ArticleRequest>()
println(post)
}
}
}
Or you can rollback to 1.4.1 until the bug is solved.
