I need help 🙂
I have an issue with undeclared throwables in retrofit when switching to Dispatchers.Main.Immediate.

What's so special with Dispatchers.Main.immediate that causes this behavior?

I suspect the key is in this line from the article:

This indicates a checked exception was somehow being synchronously thrown.

the immediate dispatcher always runs synchronously if possible, without a suspend boundary, so you can have the exception thrown in the proxy quite easily

I hope this can be fixed. Just refactoring everything back to singles now for my release -.-

I'd just use Dispatchers.Main when dealing with retrofiit to avoid that issue. I'm wondering if you could have the issue when using Dispatchers.Default or <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO> too 🤔

[Paul Woitaschek]

In my case it's the viewmodel which collects from a flow on the immediate dispatcher as default because else there are artifacts when one source of the viewstate flow is a user input event.
To my viewmodel it's not transparent that there is room somewhere in the chain, it originates somewhere in a repository
