SendData in flow does not seem to work when testing the flow?

Issues
1

I am inside the editor, created a flow that sends some data to tasker. When I try to test the flow, the data is not received by Tasker. Seems not even to have been sent - even though the test results would indicate this is not true.

Again, if inside the editor, if I trigger the flow via a touch event on an item, I see an indication that the flow is started. But again, Tasker does not seem to get anything.

If exit the editor and click on the item on the wallpaper, it works and Tasker does get the result.

Is this normal, expected, behavior? If so, I presume there is a good reason. But have no idea what it might be.

Add one more to the school of hard knocks after chasing my tail for a few hours :frowning:

This is normal behavior.
When you’re inside the editor, Kustom runs in a sandbox. Any Send Data external actions are simulated only and never actually leave the app.
That’s why you see the flow starting in the editor, but Tasker receives nothing.
Once you save and test it on the live wallpaper, the sandbox is gone and the data is actually sent which is why it works there.

Well that sure explains it. Thanks!
