How to reproduce:

runBlocking {
            val client = HttpClient(Android) {
                install(JsonFeature) {
                    serializer = KotlinxSerializer()
                        .also {
                            it.register(JsonArraySerializer)
                        }
                }
            }

            repeat(100) {
                try {
                    withTimeout(500) {
                        client.request<JsonArray>("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/") {

                        }
                    }
                } catch (exception: TimeoutCancellationException) {
                    println(exception.message)
                }
            }
        }

From what I understand, it seems like if the timeout cancellation happens during the json deserialisation phase of the request, we get the Operation is already in progress exception. Because of that, it is not easy to reproduce: You might have to tweak the timeout value of 500, or run the test multiple times, for the exception to appear.

Is there a workaround in the meantime ?

@e5l when is it supposed to be fixed? Or maybe there is some way to temporary work around the issue?

@q-litzler In the release notes for 1.2.3-rc there is “Fixed client response body cancellation” so I would guess that’s about this issue

Yes indeed, I also found this commit which looks related. Just making sure 😃
