🐛 Bug Report: TypeError when calling listDocuments using Query.select

[maperz]

👟 Reproduction steps

After recently upgrading Appwrite from 1.3.7 to 1.4.1 and running the migrations we experienced some issues with the Flutter SDK (v10.0.1) complaining about missing fields.

The only system fields sent by Appwrite and received by the SDK are "$databaseId", $collectionId".

The code to list the documents is the following:

 Future<List<Group>> _getGroupList() async {
    final groupDocuments = await _databases.listDocuments(
        databaseId: appwriteDatabaseId,
        collectionId: groupCollectionId,
        queries: [
          Query.orderDesc("\$createdAt"),
          Query.select(["groupName", "owner", "members", "description"])
        ]);

    return groupDocuments.documents
        .map((document) => Group.fromAppwriteDocument(document.data))
        .toList();
  }

As @stnguyen90 indicated on Discord, I tried to include the system attributes manually and that seems to fix the issue:

Query.select([
            "groupName",
            "owner",
            "members",
            "description",
            "$updatedAt",
            "$createdAt",
            "$id",
            "$permissions"
])

👍 Expected behavior

A call to listDocuments does not raise errors when using a Query.select without including system attributes.

👎 Actual Behavior

A TypeError is raised by the SDK indicating that system attributes received such as $permissions are Null, but are mandatory to construct the client document.

@maperz, thanks for raising this issue! 🙏🏼 We changed select to only return what you request rather than automatically including the system attributes as requested in #5376, but it looks like that causes problems in the SDK. I'll talk to the team about how to address this.
