Initial state never executed

[ErwinDraconis]

Hello,
i have the following fsm :

`enum State
{
HomePosition,
InPosition_1,
InPosition_2,
InPosition_3,
InPosition_4,
}

    enum Trigger
    {
        GoTo_1,
        GoTo_2,
        GoTo_3,
        GoTo_4,
        Go_Home,
    }`

the machine config is as follow :

`_fsm = new StateMachine<State, Trigger>(State.HomePosition);

        _fsm.Configure(State.HomePosition)
            .Permit(Trigger.GoTo_1, State.InPosition_1)
            .OnEntryAsync(async () => await GoToPosAsync(1));

        _fsm.Configure(State.InPosition_1)
            .Permit(Trigger.GoTo_2,State.InPosition_2)
            .Permit(Trigger.Go_Home, State.HomePosition)
            .OnEntryAsync(async () => await GoToPosAsync(2));

        _fsm.Configure(State.InPosition_2)
            .Permit(Trigger.GoTo_3, State.InPosition_3)
            .Permit(Trigger.Go_Home, State.HomePosition)
            .OnEntryAsync(async () => await GoToPosAsync(3));

        _fsm.Configure(State.InPosition_3)
            .Permit(Trigger.GoTo_4, State.InPosition_4)
            .Permit(Trigger.Go_Home,State.HomePosition)
            .OnEntryAsync(async () => await GoToPosAsync(4));`

when i fire the fsm automatically, 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4 , it always start from Position 2, ignoring the first one ? why is this behavior ?

hier is the dotgraph

Thanks for the help

Stateless is (almost) entirely stateless, so it does not now when it's being configured, and when it's 'running'.
Because of this the initial transition of the 'starting' state is never executed.

You can circumvent this by putting the initial transition action in the OnActive handler, and call Activate when the state machine is fully configured and ready for action.
Another way is to add another state, and transition into the 'first' state, in your case HomePosition.
