Very clever, getting the underlying `Callable` to execute from the job!
However, I wonder if this just reduces the chance of leaving tasks behind
(rather than preventing it).
The test below fails when added to `ValueResolverTest` (when also including
the change to `ValueResolver.getMaybeInternal()` to set
`allowImmediateExecution = true` so that this code path is taken).
```
public void testTaskGetImmediatelyDoesNotBlockWithNestedTasks() {
final AtomicInteger executingCount = new AtomicInteger();
final SequentialTask<?> outerTask = new
SequentialTask<>(ImmutableList.of(new Callable<String>() {
public String call() {
executingCount.incrementAndGet();
try {
Time.sleep(Duration.ONE_MINUTE);
return "myval";
} finally {
executingCount.decrementAndGet();
}
}}));
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Maybe<String> result =
Tasks.resolving(outerTask).as(String.class).context(app).immediately(true).getMaybe();
Asserts.assertTrue(result.isAbsent(), "result="+result);
}
Asserts.assertFalse(outerTask.isSubmitted());
// the call below default times out after 30s while the task above
is still running
Asserts.succeedsEventually(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Asserts.assertEquals(executingCount.get(), 0);
}
});
}
```
