thunk completeType not called on fail

[joelmoss]

It appears that a failed thunk does not trigger the complete action type.

So a saveTodo thunk should always trigger listeners for saveTodo.type, which it does so for a successful thunk, but not a failed thunk.

Full response in the works. :)

With v4+, to trigger the fail action on a failed thunk, you need to call the fail() function, which is passed on the helpers object but was not mentioned in the docs. I have opened two PRs to both add it to the Helpers Typescript type definition as well as document its usage in the api/thunks docs:

#572 #574

@ctrlplusb hope this is helpful! =)

Yes I know, but the type action still doesn't get called either way. Which it always should, no matter if it succeeded or failed, as it still completed.

Apologies, I'm afraid I misread your initial statement. Sean clearly understands, but it might benefit others to have a little more information. Looking from the docs inward, I'm unaware of a type action existing or being expected.

When I say the type action, I mean the default action. Take a look at https://easy-peasy.now.sh/docs/api/listeners.html#thunkon

...actions => actions.addTodo

Then with thunks, you also have the start, success and fail actions:

...actions => actions.saveTodo.successType
