Team #coroutines, is jobCencellationException in flow coroutines is common or how can we avoid this exception

[gildor]

Could you please clarify your problem

CancellationException is completely fine by itself, is way to propagate cancellation of coroutines, including Flow

When am leaving viemodel with logout. Am getting jobCencellationException

That’s normal, it’s the mechanism by which coroutines are only active as long as the ViewModel itself is active. You’re not supposed to catch that exception, or if you do you’re supposed to rethrow it to cooperate with cancellation (read more here)

Once the ViewModel is cleared, the viewModelScope will be cancelled so you don’t have work continuing to run the background wasting system resources.
