Kotlin Flow not emitting values after collecting in a ViewModel with StateFlow
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working with an scenario with Kotlin's Flow when trying to collect values in my ViewModel. I have a `StateFlow` that is supposed to emit a list of items retrieved from a repository, but after the initial emission, it stops sending new values. The repository fetches data using a Retrofit service, but I don't see any errors in the log. Here's the relevant part of my code: ```kotlin class MyViewModel(private val repository: MyRepository) : ViewModel() { private val _items = MutableStateFlow<List<Item>>(emptyList()) val items: StateFlow<List<Item>> = _items.asStateFlow() init { viewModelScope.launch { repository.fetchItems().collect { newItems -> _items.value = newItems } } } } ``` The `fetchItems` function in my repository looks like this: ```kotlin class MyRepository(private val apiService: ApiService) { fun fetchItems(): Flow<List<Item>> = flow { val response = apiService.getItems() emit(response.body() ?: emptyList()) } } ``` I suspect that the `collect` block might not be triggering after the first emission, but I don’t see any exceptions. I checked the network calls, and they are returning the expected results. I also tried adding `retry` and `catch` operators in my Flow chain, but the behavior remains the same. I'm using Kotlin 1.5.30 and Retrofit 2.9.0. Is there something I'm missing in the way I'm collecting the flow or managing the StateFlow? Any advice on debugging this flow scenario would be greatly appreciated. I recently upgraded to Kotlin latest. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Any advice would be much appreciated.
