Observable.empty（）导致java.util.NoSuchElementException：Sequence不包含任何元素

Question

I'm using Retrofit 2.0.0-beta2 with RxJava 1.0.14. I handle errors this way because I need to execute some code in doFinally:

.onErrorResumeNext(Observable.empty());

But when I get a http response with an error (401 for example) my app crashes with no my classes in the stack trace. Nothing bad happens if use Observable.never . Here's full stack trace:

From the stack trace,

at rx.internal.operators.OperatorSingle$ParentSubscriber.onCompleted (OperatorSingle.java:131)
at rx.internal.operators.OperatorTake$1.onCompleted (OperatorTake.java:53)

This equates to take(1).single() which is also the first() convenience operator. I suspect you are using the latter, but both require at least one element.

By using empty() , you are creating an observable with no elements which violates the contract of the downstream operators. Either emit a default item in the onErrorResumeNext observable or change your downstream code to support streams with no elements.
