Array default values

[omsk359]

Hi! I have a test reducer:
myReducer = (state = { arr: [1, 2, 3] }, action) => action.type == 'TEST' ? { arr: [5] } : state
It's save to store correctly after dispatch: { arr: 5 }
But after load it's has a value { arr: [5, 2, 3] }.
Lo-dash _.merge problem.

Hi! Could you provide me some example code?

I've tried to reproduce this problem but with no success. For me everything looks and behaves as is should ...

Maybe I use it wrong, but

1. Load page, reducer init: arr = [1, 2, 3]
2. redux-storage load nothing: arr = [1, 2, 3]
3. dispatch: arr = [5]
4. Reload page, reducer init: arr = [1, 2, 3]
5. redux-storage load: arr = [5, 2, 3]

Hm .. strange. Would it be possible for you to inspect the state of the engine right BEFORE you trigger the load action? This depends on the engine in use but for redux-storage-engine-localstorage the output of:

console.log(store.getState());
console.log(localStorage.getItem(key));

would be very interesting!

Ok. It's my store.js now.
0. I open page and run clearStorage()

1. Reload page. My out:

before1: [1, 2, 3]
before2: null
[13:54:46] [Dispatching] {"type":"REDUX_STORAGE_LOAD","payload":{}}
[13:54:46] [Store] {"myReducer":{"arr":[1,2,3]}}
Loaded state: undefined
after1: [1, 2, 3]
after2: null

1. I execute store.dispatch({type: 'TEST'})
2. Reload page again:

before1: [1, 2, 3]
before2: {"myReducer":{"arr":[5]}}
[13:55:39] [Dispatching] {"type":"REDUX_STORAGE_LOAD","payload":{"myReducer":{"arr":[5]}}}
[13:55:39] [Store] {"myReducer":{"arr":[5,2,3]}}
Loaded state: [5]
after1: [5, 2, 3]
after2: {"myReducer":{"arr":[5]}}

Could you also please paste the result of npm list so that I can see the used versions of all involved libraries? I still have no clue whats the root cause of this :(

And a last question: in which browsers have you tested this?

[omsk359]

I use Meteor 1.2.1, it's meteor list out and packages.json file used by meteorhacks:npm.
Browser: Chrome 48.

I don't spend a lot of time, but quickly looked at your code. Are you use lodash merge function after action Load? If so, it may be the cause because
_.isEqual(_.merge([1,2,3], [5]), [5,2,3]) // true

redux-storage-merger-simple is the default merger used by redux-storage. Please have a look at it and create a issue there with some code to reproduce this issue.

I'm closing this issue here now, as a) it's no longer related to the code in this repository and b) I'm still unable to reproduce this :(
