Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone has encountered the following:
Basically, nothing gets printed when .flowOn is set on the flow object created from the asFlow() call on the liveData object. Now, this is just a simple test, but I am wondering why is everything working as it should when this flowOn is excluded and not when this this specific flowOn is provided? Am i missing something when it comes to liveData’s asFlow() method? Cheers! :)

Sample code:

val mutableLiveData = MutableLiveData<String>("test")
        runBlocking {
            val item = mutableLiveData.asFlow()
                .map {
                    Log.e("Test", "mapping $it")
                    return@map it
                }
                .flowOn(Dispatchers.Default) // problematic thingy
                .first()
            Log.e("Test", item)
        }
