ResponseConverter ignored for suspend functions

[DanielNovak]

The suspend API functions ignore any defined ResponseConverters - is that by design? A look into the source code confirms this, only the non-suspend code in KtorfitClient.request uses getResponseConverters().

*(I created a similar GH issue before and I closed it because it contained a lot of other noise)

I would like to use my ResponseConverter for suspend functions as well.

An exmaple interface looks something like this:

interface Example {
    @GET("test")
    suspend fun getTest(): ApiResponse<String>
}

And my "possible" suspend ResponseConverter like this:

class ApiResponseConverter : ResponseConverter {
    override fun supportedType(returnTypeName: String): Boolean {
        return returnTypeName == "com.example.ApiResponse"
    }

    override suspend fun <PRequest : Any> wrapResponse(
        returnTypeName: String,
        requestFunction: suspend () -> Pair<TypeInfo, HttpResponse>
    ): Any {
        val (info, response)
        return ApiResponse.create(response)
    }
}

The wrapResponse should be a suspend function as well then, so the best thing would be separate class like SuspendResponseConverters I think.

Or the wrapResponse is always a suspend function, not sure if this is possible.

@DanielNovak with beta11 it should work now with SuspendResponseConverter

I close this issue, if it's still relevant, fell free to reopen it
