Upgrading actix-web

[antiblue]

Hi all, I started working on upgrading the Actix-Web parts, but I stumble over an issue with Tokio.

Through OPCUASession.connect the function get_server_endpoints_from_url<T> is called and at the end an instance of Session is dropped.
This causes a panic, because Tokio wants to enter a blocking region:

thread 'actix-rt|system:0|arbiter:3' panicked at 'Cannot drop a runtime in a context where blocking is not allowed. This happens when a runtime is dropped from within an asynchronous context.', ...tokio-1.32.0\src\runtime\blocking\shutdown.rs:51:21

I have found running-actix-web-using-tokiomain in Actix-Web's documentation, stating that block_in_place will not work. Unfortunately the backtrace reveals exactly that:

  13: core::ptr::drop_in_place<opcua::client::session::session::Session>
             at /rustc/5680fa18feaa87f3ff04063800aec256c3d4b4be\library\core\src\ptr\mod.rs:497
  14: opcua::client::client::Client::get_server_endpoints_from_url<ref$<str$> >
             at ...\opcua\lib\src\client\client.rs:493

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

(The code has been forked here)

@antiblue I'm struggling with the same problem. Was just drafting a different example structure in #355, when I hit this error as well. Did you make any progress with this?
I'd really like to see the example having the same actix version as the rest of the code.

No, sorry.
