I think it s sth like this ``` gt gt gt state = flow run gt gt gt state result value a Flow State s Result value is its Tasks States lt Task add gt lt Success Task run succeeded gt lt Task add gt lt Success Task run succeeded gt gt gt gt state result the public property aliases the same API as above lt Task add gt lt Success Task run succeeded gt lt Task add gt lt Success Task run succeeded gt gt gt gt state result task ref result a Task State s Result contains the Task s return value```

but if you ask me this is a bit clunky smile I think it s much easier to troubleshoot if you log the info you need while running the flow or even use a debugger and check the state of any object in between

right I saw that kind of syntax I was hoping this wasn t required I want to just have some asserts in my tests How could I specifically lookup the ` result` of task `task name` I guess

or maybe more clearly in the above you have `state result task ref ` where are you getting `task ref` from

state result is a dict of tasks I d like to just be able to look up one but I m not sure how to do that
