Questions about tracking upload jobs using using Gaia TAP+ about astroquery

[cosmoJFH]

Dear @javierggt, in the gaia help page https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia-users/archive/use-cases#ClusterAnalysisPythonTutorial you can see that right after calling the function launch_job_async you can use the method results = job.get_results().

The documentation of this function says:

This method will block if the job is asynchronous and the job has not finished yet.

Hi Cosmo, thanks for the answer, but I think that does not answer my question. I do not want to get the results, I want to upload them to a table so I can use them later.

My question is motivated by wanting my script to know when uploading finished so I can launch a query to use the table, and in general to know when jobs finished without having to check the web page myself.

I think that the only way to know that your table has been created in the system is at the time a message like this is printed

INFO: Created table 't1705434281894O' from job: '1705434281894O'.

I think that the execution of the function upload_table_from_job is blocked till the task has been completed, isn't it?

No, it isn't.
