# coroutines

Is there a reason why a coroutine lambda wouldn't be executed after launch is called on it? I have a KMP project and on iOS, the launch function is called, but the lambda isn't executed. I'm pulling at threads trying to figure out why this isn't working. I don't have any errors in my project when ran.

What dispatcher are you launching the coroutine in? It might be due to thread starvation

The viewModel just instantiates the scope using:

val viewModelScope = MainScope()

I noticed just noticed that calling viewModelScope.isActive before I call launch returns false.

[Joffrey]

Do you have a small reproducible example you could share?

[Trey]

I think I see my problem. I believe that the viewModel is getting cleared before my call. That cancels the main scope.

[Joffrey]

That would indeed explain what you see, and be expected behavior

[Trey]

Thanks for listening. 🙂
