From Discord: Understanding Stream.orDie in Effect Typescript

[effect-bot]

Summary

In the chat, the user is discussing an issue they are experiencing with the Stream.orDie function in Effect Typescript. They provide a code example to illustrate their misunderstanding or possible bug: they expect Stream.orDie to convert errors into defects, but it seems to still return the original error instead of causing a defect. The user notes that using Stream.onError(Effect.die) achieves their desired outcome, where the application is expected to crash on error.

Key takeaways:

• The user expects Stream.orDie to create a defect from an error, but it appears not to function as anticipated.
• There may be a potential bug in Stream.orDie.
• The user's workaround involves using Stream.onError(Effect.die) to achieve the expected behavior.
• Another user, possibly a maintainer or experienced user, confirms it seems like a bug.
