`module Loop`

A helper for running loops at aligned intervals.

Definitions

`def self.run(interval: 60, &block)`

A robust loop that executes a block at aligned intervals.

The alignment is modulo the current clock in seconds.

If an error occurs during the execution of the block, it is logged and the loop continues.

Signature

parameter　interval　Integer: The interval in seconds between executions of the block.

Implementation

def self.run(interval: 60, &block)
	while true
		# Compute the wait time to the next interval:
		wait = interval - (Time.now.to_f % interval)
		if wait.positive?
			# Sleep until the next interval boundary:
			sleep(wait)
		end
		
		begin
			yield
		rescue => error
			Console.error(self, "Loop error:", error)
		end
	end
end
