This shows (and tests) how to have a
heartbeatexecuting inside a loop while performing a long running operation inside an Activity.This needs to support
cancellationas well.What was changed
Extended the
heartbeatdemonstration with a realistic long-running activity impl that needs to kick of both a periodic heartbeat and a long-running, blocking process inside an Activity.For example, writing to a file might take a loooong time but I want to ping the Temporal service in the background while my sync file operation is doing it's thing.
Why?
It should make clearer how to get these concurrent things working together.
Checklist
How was this tested:
mochaunit tests. Also verified cancellation works like I'd expect.Any docs updates needed? Not really
