io_context.run() in a separate thread blocks

Question

I have a RESTServer.hpp implemented using boost.beast as shown below.

#pragma once

#include 
#include &l         


        

Answer 1

You're calling run in both the thread

m_threads.emplace_back(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_context::run, &m_ioc));

and the google test thread

m_ioc.run();

which is causing the Setup to block. Try removing m_ioc.run(); since you are already spawning a thread to call io_context::run.
