Thank you for the pull request, and sorry it took so long to get reviewed. The PR looks reasonable but there's one issue I think we need to figure out what, if anything, we can/should do. I'm raising it with the team.

A consideration here is that this implementation depends on the context-propagation library, while Observation and ObservationRegistry don't directly - they optionally depend on it. Since we added the extension function asContextElement()
to ObservationRegistry
, that gives precedent to this kind of thing, but I'm not sure we should do this. That said, I don't know what a good alternative is. Basically, the issue is that this would fail at runtime if the user didn't have context-propagation on their classpath, which could happen if say they only care about producing metrics from Observation and not tracing. It feels bad to have a class that otherwise can be used without a library except an API (extension function) that will fail without a specific dependency.
This PR introduces a couple of extension functions on
Observation
to help using it from Kotlin code.It's an alternative version of the following PR: #4772, which would introduce the same API, but on
ObservationRegistry
-level.Observation.observeAndGet
allows to observe a non-suspending block of code:Observation.observe
, but accepts a block of code instead of expecting a Java SupplierObservation.observeAndAwait
allows to observe a suspending block of code:Observation.observe
, but will accept a suspending block of codeopenScope().use { observationRegistry.asContextElement() }
it manages to create an instance ofKotlinObservationContextElement
