Can I disable completion just for a period of time ?

[andrewwahid]

My feature discovery fires when the user spams a certain button
When he spams that button the feature discovery appears but since he is spamming the button he presses on the feature tap target and the feature disappears.
I want to disable the feature tap target for a small period of time to ensure the user have read the feature discovery

Approach ##1: I set onComplete to return a boolean variable and after 1.5 seconds of the feature firing change the variable's value
Problem: onComplete is called only once so if it was fired first time with return value of false, it won't be fired again no matter what.

Approach ##2: Use AbsorbPointer to absorb all touch events of the Feature overlay
Problem: I don't know why but AbsorbPointer doesn't work with the Feature overlay (my theory is because that the widget is overlayed on top of the MaterialApp and not my current context widget)(placing an AbsorbPointer on top my material app is not an option!)

I am open to any suggestions

Thanks in advance!

As far as I understand your problem
onComplate is async function
so you can use feature.delayed functon to solve your problem

Using Future.delayed and then returning true will only delay the completion but the completion will still fire the moment the user clicks on tap target.
Simply I want to disable the tap target for a certain duration (so the user wont' be able to fire the OnComplete listener)
I have tried several methods but none work.

Your first suggestion should work. onComplete is not, as you said, called only once, it is called every time the target is tapped* until it returns true.

* (actually it is not called if it has been called just before and hasn't completed yet).

Please test any feature with this as the onComplete parameter
onComplete: () async{ print("Test"); return false; }
You will observe that "Test" is only printed once no matter how many times you pressed on the tap target.

@andrewwahid You're right, in fact there is a bug in the implementation. I'm working on a fix (#28).

@axel-op any updates on the fix ?
