While working with flow I'm having a type mismatch...

# coroutines

While working with flow I'm having a type mismatch with the following code:

homeRepository
.requestStuff()
.map { stuff -> HomeState.Success(stuff) }
.catch {
   emit(HomeState.Error.Unknown(it))  <- type mismatch as FlowCollector is waiting for the HomeState.Success type
}

By adding .filterIsInstance<HomeState>() before .catch {...} it works, but I'm wondering if there is a better way 🤔

Thanks!

.map { stuff -> HomeState.Success(stuff) as HomeState }

don't know why I didn't think of it 🤦 Thanks 👍

The minor issue is AS generate a No cast needed on as HomeState

[stojan]

.map<HomeState> { stuff -> HomeState.Success(stuff) }

should also work
