why executeBlockingAwait return type is nullable?

[rainmanhhh]

executeBlockingAwait calls awaitResult If awaitResult failed, it will throw an exception instead of return null The return type should be [T] but not [T?]

[rgmz]

I don't see null as synonymous with failure; some methods have @Nullable results, for example:

• io.vertx.redis.client.RedisAPI

  default RedisAPI append(String arg0, String arg1, Handler<AsyncResult<@Nullable Response>> handler) {
    send(Command.APPEND, arg0, arg1).setHandler(handler);
    return this;
  }
  

• io.vertx.kotlin.redis.client.RedisAPI

  suspend fun RedisAPI.appendAwait(arg0: String, arg1: String): Response? {
    return awaitResult {
      this.append(arg0, arg1, it)
    }
  }

NOTE: the parameter is [T] but not [T: Any] so if the action return value is actually nullable(eg. [Response?]), just call it like this: executeBlockingAwait<Response?>(...) [Response?] can be omitted

[tsegismont]

The return type is T? because when the call succeeds, the result can be null.
