[erlang-questions] Need help with simple_one_for_one

[Matt Williamson]

I hate to keep bugging with simple problems, but I'm stuck again. My FSM
dosn't seem to be executing its first state. Here is my init function:

*init(StartArgs) ->
    InitialState = case StartArgs of
    {store_chunk, Chunk} ->
        io:format("FSM Storing chunk...~n"),
        {ok, storing_chunk, [Chunk]};
    {get_chunk, Args} ->
        {ok, getting_chunk, Args};
    Else ->
        %% @todo Add error logging here.
        io:format("Bad arg for FSM: ~p~n", [StartArgs])
    end,
    io:format("FSM Initial State: ~p~n", [InitialState]),
    InitialState.*

storing_chunk/2 is exported and I'm not getting any errors. Here is that
function:

*storing_chunk(_Event, [Chunk]) ->
    io:format("STATE: storing_chunk~n"),
    case erlfs_store_lib:store_chunk() of
    ok ->
        {next_state, notifying_tracker, Chunk};
    {error, Reason} ->
        %% @todo Add error logging here.
        io:format("FSM Stopped: ~p~n", [Reason]),
        {stop, {file, Reason}, Chunk#chunk.chunk_meta}
    end.*
