Question: Print type

[hkirk]

I can't seem to wrap my head around how you would print which type MyState would represent. I guess that overriding toString in Inital, Loading, Success or Failure would not give anything.
Overriding toString in MyState makes me change the output from:

emit an event that TaskState:<MyState>

to

emit an event that TaskState:<My custom state message>

Trying to write tests a toy project with your example gives me the following

final expected = [ TaskState.Inital(), TaskState.Failure(error: "MyError"), ]; expectLater(bloc.state, emitsInOrder(expected));

ERROR: Expected: should do the following in order:
• emit an event that TaskState:<MyState>
• emit an event that TaskState:<MyState>

Would be nice to print something like

ERROR: Expected: should do the following in order:
• emit an event that TaskState:<Initial>
• emit an event that TaskState:<Failure>

Hi @hkirk 👋
Thanks for opening an issue!

Unfortunately, I think this is a limitation of sealed_unions and is not particular to sealed_flutter_bloc. I would recommend opening an issue on dart_sealed_unions 👍

Thought so, I ended up with something (ugly) as

  @override
  String toString() {
    if (this == TaskState.Initial())
      return "Initial";
    else if (this == TaskState.Failure())
      return "Failure";
  }
