Pursuant to the discussion in #132 I messed about to see if I could come up with something that would allow the future to resolve and the current thread to release.
The NIO API doco actually suggests that using
.wait()
might not be a good idea so I decided to try replacing the promise/future with run loop execution. It worked, allowing the.start()
function to throw an error if the port was not available both iOS and OSX.However, I'm not an expert in the the NIO code or all the depths of multithreading at that level so whilst this solutions works, it may not be the best one.
All tests were run and green with this code.
