deleteAllLocations not deleting locations

[M00ker]

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 0.5.0-alpha.35
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: 9.3
• Device manufacturer and model: Simulator
• React Native version: 0.56
• Plugin configuration options:
• Link to your project:

Context

I start recording. I see that locations are recorded by calling 'getAllLocations()'.

I then call 'deleteAllLocations()' and then call 'getAllLocations()' once again. Locations have not been deleted as the 'getAllLocations()' returns a non empty list of locations.

Expected Behavior

All locations removed when 'deleteAllLocations()' called.

Actual Behavior

'getAllLocations()' returns a non empty list of locations.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

`deleteLocations = () => {
BackgroundGeolocation.deleteAllLocations(
function (success) {
console.log("Success: " + success);
},

  function (fail) {
    console.log("Fail: " + fail);
  }
)

BackgroundGeolocation.getLocations(
  function (locations) {
    console.log(locations);
  }
)

}`

Delete locations only marks locations as synced with server. You should be using getValidLocations. I know it’s bit confusing, will probably rename those methods

Ok, re-reading the documentation I see that now. 'deleteAllLocations()' marks unsent locations as having been synced to the server and therefore they do not appear in the result set returned from 'getValidLocations()' but they still appear in 'getLocations()'.

My use case means that I don't want to use the syncing to server functionality but I want to get the list of logged locations and to be able to clear that list.

Is it possible to get access from my app to the database containing the locations so that I can manipulate it from my code? Otherwise I could set 'maxLocations' to 1 and log locations to my own datastore but I'd rather use yours as it's already in place.

p.s. many thanks for putting the library together and keeping it maintained... donation on its way.

You can use combo getValidLocations and deleteLocation (by id)

Ok thanks, I'll try that.

I also noticed that 'getValidLocations()' returns a maximum of 100 locations and then resets and starts again from zero locations, irrespective of the 'maxLocations' property. Is it possible to store/retrieve more than 100 locations using 'getValidLocations()'?

[mauron85]

That should not be case. If so, it's a bug.

[mauron85]

But I doubt that. Please try again.
