Unable to send event to actor

[JoshuaAmaju]

I'm getting Unable to send event to child 'email' from service 'address'. Even though the actor email is a child of address.

{
      id: "address",
      initial: "idle",
      entry: assign(() => {
        const actors = {};

        for (const key in obj) {
          actors[key] = spawn(actor, key);
        }

        return { actors };
      }),
      states: {
        idle: {
          on: {
            "*": {
              actions: send((_, e) => e, {
                to: (_, { name }) => name,
              }),
            },
          },
        },

Please always try to share a repro case in a runnable form - either by providing a git repository to clone or a codesandbox. OSS maintainers usually can't afford the time to set up the repro, even if exact steps are given.

Sorry about that, here it is

I've also noticed that the same code works fine on codesandbox, but doesn't work locally.

Make sure you have the same versions of xstate and @xstate/react. You can also download the .zip of the repository for the CodeSandbox example, run it locally, and compare it to your local version.

This is an interesting situation, did as you suggested and it worked fine locally. The initial project I had the issue with used parcel instead of react-scripts. Why should that cause any difference in behavior?

[JoshuaAmaju]

Noticed a difference in the output result after spawning an actor. It seems the codesanbox project spawned the actors correctly, but the one I had locally didn't.
