Hive clear() function does not work as expected. It clears new values added after the .clear() command.

Question After adding all the values inside _noteBox, when I try to print them, it shows me that box is empty.

Code sample

 List<Note> noteList = _noteBox.values.cast<Note>().toList();  //storing list of all values in box named _noteBox
_noteBox..clear();                        // clearing the box
noteList.insert(0, newNote);       // insert new element at starting of noteList
_noteBox.addAll(noteList);         // putting old+ 1 new value in the box

Version

• Platform: Android
• Flutter version: [1.20.4]
• Hive version: [^1.4.1+1]

You have to await box.clear(). Otherwise clear will be called after all next lines were executed.
