The wifi.sta module connects if a loop is running?

Question

Im trying to detect when the module actually connects to my wifi AP, since .connect does not have a callback im doing something simple like this:

wifi.sta.config

Using tmr.delay doesnot let run the event loop, you should use a timer callback.

Then the code could be something like :

wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
wifi.sta.connect()

i=0
tmr.alarm(1, 1000, 1, function()
    if (wifi.sta.status() ~= 5 and i < 10) then
       print("Status:"..wifi.sta.status())
       i = i + 1
    else
       tmr.stop(1)
       if (wifi.sta.status() == 5) then
          print("IP:"..wifi.sta.getip())
       else
          print("Status:"..wifi.sta.status())
       end
    end
end)
