Documentation

Overview

Package finalcontext is used by Waypoint to create a "final" context that we'll use after the real context has been cancelled. This lets us do some last minute cleanup that may require a context.

For more detail in case that isn't clear: we use contexts everywhere for cancellation. Once cancelled, we may want to perform some cleanup, such as calling an RPC call to note we're cancelled. But this RPC itself requires a context and our context is already cancelled. We construct a "final" context that lets us do this.

func Context

func Context(log hclog.Logger) (context.Context, func())

Context returns a final context. This context is set to timeout in some set amount of time (a few seconds) and will also cancel immediately if another interrupt is received.
