StartAsyncTcpServer freezing about pymodbus HOT 10 CLOSED

Please read the documentation, that call will not return until the server terminates.

from pymodbus.

Hi yes, I have updated my code to this, but how can I get the actual ModbusTCPServer object in my "server" variable, this currently returns a coroutine object:

async def run_servr(port):
    try:
        print(f"Starting server for device...")
        store = ModbusSlaveContext(
            di=ModbusSequentialDataBlock.create(),
            co=ModbusSequentialDataBlock.create(),
            hr=ModbusSequentialDataBlock.create(),
            ir=ModbusSequentialDataBlock.create())

        context = ModbusServerContext(slaves=store, single=True)
        
        server = StartAsyncTcpServer(context, address=("127.0.0.1", port))

        print(f"Server for device {udt['name']} is online")

        while server.isServing():
        ...

But the call still do not return until the server terminates! Did you read the documentation, there is a part about how to use the API without the blocking start call.

please read the documentation, that helps to understand how the library works, you are calling a blocking function.

I tried to look in the documentation, but couldn't find much. Could you point me in the right direction?

Can you point in the right direction? Also, just for more insight into what I am trying to accomplish. I want to be able to start an async server, stop the server, and update the server with 3 different functions asynchronously.

from pymodbus.

there are several ways to do that, Start* is one way but it needs to run in a separate task.

I already pointed you at our documentation, where it is explained, did you look ?

from pymodbus.

We also provide examples showing different ways to use the server objects.

I don't see where you pointed to your documentation. There is no link or anything in any of your responses. Am I looking in the wrong place?

from pymodbus.

I did not, you can find the links to the source, documentation etc in the package info.
