I am trying to invoke Expression Encoder ScreenCapture within a console app. I can record the screen but I am finding that it is breaking async/await.
In the code below, "await Task.Delay()" will not return unless "new ScreenCaptureJob()" is commented out. I guess that the screen capture library may be creating a GUI event queue or something in the background that might be interfering with async-await.
Note that the real application is doing real async/await work so it cannot be replaced with a Thread.Sleep.
Any idea how to fix this?
using Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.ScreenCapture;
using Microsoft.Extensions.CommandLineUtils;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Pipes;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ScreenRecorder
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var app = new CommandLineApplication();
app.OnExecute(async () =>
{
var scj = new ScreenCaptureJob();
Console.WriteLine("Being wait");
await Task.Delay(50);
Console.WriteLine("End wait");
return 0;
});
app.Execute(args);
}
}
}
