Async Result Discarded (ARCH8020)

Key kotlin.async.async-result-discarded · Severity warning · Category async

Flags async { } whose Deferred is never awaited or stored - the work runs but its result and failure are lost; that is what launch is for.

Incorrect

scope.async { sync() }

Correct

scope.launch { sync() }
// or: val d = scope.async { load() }; d.await()

Fix

Use launch for fire-and-forget work, or await the Deferred.
