adamant-run
A Clojure library to adamantly (or stubbornly) try to run a function.
Motivation
This library shall help you run functions which may encounter errors or timeout with automated retries. Situations where this might be helpful contain communication with a remote service, which may be unavailable, or dealing with asynchronous file transfer, when you are waiting for a file to show up.
Usage
You can pass any clojure function to `adamant-run` along with its arguments and some finetuning options to control how adamant-run will run your function.
The easiest case is calling a function with no arguments using the defaults of `adamant-run`:
(adamant-run (fn [] "OK"))The documentation of the function adamant-run contains a list of keyword options.
Inspiration
The whole idea for this project comes from Robert Bruce written by Joe Gallo. So, kudos to Joe for his nice interface!
