3. LOGGING_IN
4. CONNECTING_TO_WEBSOCKET
5. IDENTIFYING_SESSION
6. AWAITING_LOGIN_CONFIRMATION
7. LOADING_SUBSYSTEMS

The current JDA instance, for chaining convenience

Throws:

InterruptedException - If this thread is interrupted while waiting

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided status is null or not an init status (JDA.Status.isInit())

IllegalStateException - If JDA is shutdown during this wait period

awaitReady

This status means that JDA finished setting up its internal cache and is ready to be used.

Returns:

The current JDA instance, for chaining convenience

Throws:

InterruptedException - If this thread is interrupted while waiting

IllegalStateException - If JDA is shutdown during this wait period

awaitShutdown

@CheckReturnValue
boolean awaitShutdown(long duration,
 @Nonnull
 TimeUnit unit)
               throws InterruptedException

Blocks the current thread until getStatus() returns JDA.Status.SHUTDOWN.
This can be useful in certain situations like disabling class loading.

Note that shutdown time depends on the length of the rate-limit queue. You can use shutdownNow() to cancel all pending requests and immediately shutdown.

Example

 jda.shutdown();
 // Allow at most 10 seconds for remaining requests to finish
 if (!jda.awaitShutdown(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) {
     jda.shutdownNow(); // Cancel all remaining requests
     jda.awaitShutdown(); // Wait until shutdown is complete (indefinitely)
 }
 

This will not implicitly call shutdown(), you are responsible to ensure that the shutdown process has started.

Parameters:

duration - The maximum time to wait, or 0 to wait indefinitely

unit - The time unit for the duration

Returns:

False, if the timeout has elapsed before the shutdown has completed, true otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided unit is null

InterruptedException - If the current thread is interrupted while waiting

awaitShutdown

@CheckReturnValue
default boolean awaitShutdown(@Nonnull
 Duration timeout)
                       throws InterruptedException

Blocks the current thread until getStatus() returns JDA.Status.SHUTDOWN.
This can be useful in certain situations like disabling class loading.

Note that shutdown time depends on the length of the rate-limit queue. You can use shutdownNow() to cancel all pending requests and immediately shutdown.

Example

 jda.shutdown();
 // Allow at most 10 seconds for remaining requests to finish
 if (!jda.awaitShutdown(Duration.ofSeconds(10))) {
     jda.shutdownNow(); // Cancel all remaining requests
     jda.awaitShutdown(); // Wait until shutdown is complete (indefinitely)
 }
 

This will not implicitly call shutdown(), you are responsible to ensure that the shutdown process has started.

Parameters:

timeout - The maximum time to wait, or Duration.ZERO to wait indefinitely

Returns:

False, if the timeout has elapsed before the shutdown has completed, true otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided timeout is null

InterruptedException - If the current thread is interrupted while waiting

awaitShutdown

default boolean awaitShutdown()
                       throws InterruptedException

Blocks the current thread until getStatus() returns JDA.Status.SHUTDOWN.
This can be useful in certain situations like disabling class loading.

This will wait indefinitely by default. Use awaitShutdown(Duration) to set a timeout.

Note that shutdown time depends on the length of the rate-limit queue. You can use shutdownNow() to cancel all pending requests and immediately shutdown.

Example

 jda.shutdown();
 // Allow at most 10 seconds for remaining requests to finish
 if (!jda.awaitShutdown(Duration.ofSeconds(10))) {
     jda.shutdownNow(); // Cancel all remaining requests
     jda.awaitShutdown(); // Wait until shutdown is complete (indefinitely)
 }
 

This will not implicitly call shutdown(), you are responsible to ensure that the shutdown process has started.

Returns:

Always true

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided timeout is null

InterruptedException - If the current thread is interrupted while waiting

cancelRequests

int cancelRequests()

Cancels all currently scheduled RestAction requests.
When a RestAction is cancelled, a CancellationException will be provided to the failure callback. This means RestAction.queue(Consumer, Consumer) will invoke the second callback and RestAction.complete() will throw an exception.

This is only recommended as an extreme last measure to avoid backpressure. If you want to stop requests on shutdown you should use shutdownNow() instead of this method.

Returns:

how many requests were cancelled

See Also:

• RestAction.setCheck(BooleanSupplier)

getRateLimitPool

@Nonnull

Since:

4.0.0
