get_providers returns multiple FoundProviders events instead of single aggregated result

[tqwewe]

Expected Behavior

When calling kad.get_providers(key), I expect to receive a single kad::GetProvidersOk::FoundProviders event containing all discovered providers for the given key.

Actual Behavior

Instead, I'm receiving multiple separate FoundProviders events - one for each individual provider discovered. This makes it challenging to determine when the discovery process is complete and I have collected all available providers.

Question

Is this the intended behavior, and if so, what's the recommended approach for knowing when all providers have been found? Or am I potentially missing something in my implementation?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! This behaviour is actually intended. It was implemented apart of #2712. You can check the step to determine if the event is the last.

Depending on your use case, you could store the query id in a map along with the set of providers and once the query is done you could take that set from the map and use it for your intended use.
