launch {
    val result = getSomething().apply {
        doSomethingSuspending()
    }
    // code at this point never runs
}

Could anyone explain why this happens?

Most likely

doSomethingSuspending()

never completes

If I understand this correctly, doSomethingSuspending never returns

Your

doSomethingSuspending()

is a fancy version of

awaitCancellation()

Code after doSomethingSuspending() inside the apply block executes, but code outside the apply block doesnt. That means it completes right?

Yes, but it shouldn’t be happening. Could the code after doSomethingSuspending be throwing an exception?

Your snippet didn't show any code after

doSomethingSuspending()

@Jason Ankers It's kinda cheating! 😛

Theres no code after it - i just added a print statement to see if it executes

Are you on Android with AGP 7 alpha?

Yes

Try rebuilding the app, and if it still occurs, please try doing a Gradle clean, then building with the

--no-build-cache

option and .

The backstory is I had some code like this:

launch {
    val result = getSomething()
    result.doSomethingSuspending()
    // do stuff
}

Which I changed to this:

launch {
    val result = getSomething().apply {
        doSomethingSuspending() 
    }
    // do stuff
}

but after making the change,

result

never gets assigned, and any code after it never runs

Yes it should, but please, try what I asked and answer these, I'd like to know if it's an issue in AGP 7 alpha I've been witnessing

Ok will do

Can you wrap the whole thing with a try catch finally block that logs before rethrowing and in the finally block?

Ok yep the function is throwing something 🙂

Łukasz Wasylkowski was right the whole time on his first message.

Yep - apologies for not trying that first. I had just assumed if the function was throwing it wouldn’t have worked in the original implementation. Any idea why that might have been happening?

Unrelated change or repeated execution, or who knows, we don't have your codebase at hand 😄
