That fixed it. I assume the issue is that the `assert` isn't run in dataflow v1 (because asserts are disabled?), so maybeAdvance() is never called, but should be?
Interestingly enough, IntelliJ actually flags this with a warning: "'assert' has side effects: call to 'maybeAdvance()' mutates field 'next'" On Thu, Mar 24, 2022 at 7:21 PM Robert Bradshaw <rober...@google.com> wrote: > I'm still scratching my head over this one, but could you try > reproducing with https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/17180 ? > > On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 8:31 PM Claire McGinty > <claire.d.mcgi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > (Forgot to add, this was with the transform coder wrapped with > NullableCoder so it didn’t fail outright.) > > > > - Claire > > > > On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 11:26 PM Claire McGinty < > claire.d.mcgi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> I was wondering if there’s any difference in how Dataflow v1 vs v2 > loads CoGbkResult iterables - in one of our internal pipielines that > started failing, I added some logging to CoGbkResult and found that the > TagIterable’s iterator would return hasNext() == true, but next() == null. > >> > >> - Claire > >> > >> On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 6:13 PM Robert Bradshaw <rober...@google.com> > wrote: > >>> > >>> BEAM-13541 is as far as I'm aware the only major change that has > >>> happened in this code recently, but this should be totally agnostic of > >>> Dataflow v1 vs. v2 vs. DirectRunner.
