Query missing one record and invalid field assignment during read operation

[lberbey]

Hi guys,

First of all, sorry for my english (I'm french).

I have two issues on the same project :

• Invalid return on query : I'm missing one record
• Invalid field assignment during read operation

Sorry if I'm wrong. Your product is really good and quite easy to use. I'm really happy with it.
I tried to understand sub classes process to fix this but guys, I'm just a simple developer and all the work on ByteArray, Buffer... is far to complex for me 👼 .

[√] Network resources
    • All expected network resources are available.

• No issues found!

Steps to reproduce

1. Load the project from here
2. Add some breakpoints

main.dart l.187
main.dart l.191
main.dart l.194
objectbox.g.dart l.465
objectbox.g.dart l.469

4. Execute the project (all breakpoints will be traversed during main.dart execution)

Expected behavior

1. On main.dart l.191 recipes list should be equal to recipes list on main.dart l.187 like it worked for shops list just above
2. On main.dart l.194 days[0] should contains 1 item in lunchMenu and 2 in dinnerMenu properties

Code

• objectbox.g.dart l.465 : value seems available before dbLunchMenu assignment
  
• objectbox.g.dart l.469 : value is unavailable after dbLunchMenu assignment
  

Additional context

• I find one workaround for the field assignment during read operation : replace properties lunchMenu and dinnerMenu by menu and dbLunchMenu and dbDinnerMenu by dbMenu but I'm not shure why is it working 😭.

Thanks for your time 🍻 .

Thanks for reporting, I could verify your project fails as expected.

Things I should look into:

• using oneOf conditions with unique String properties (although it appears to work on Shop it doesn't on Recipe)
• storing an object with two string list properties, it appears only the first is stored?

Hi,

Thanks for answering that fast.

For your second point, I believe the issue is on read and not on write (or maybe on both...). As you can see in my first capture (original post), I've added the assignation of dbLunchMenu and dbDinnerMenu to WATCH view. Values of the two lists seems to be accessible before the assignation of dbLunchMenu.

I've tried adding a new property List<String> dbZZZ which is read and loaded between dbLunchMenu and dbDinnerMenu. Same results and maybe worst : Both dbZZZ and dbDinnerMenu aren't assigned.

I tried to switch properties assignment order and it seems to do something : with the order dbZZZ, dbDinnerMenu, dbLunchMenu and dbZZZ equal to ['test'], dbDinnerMenu is also set. Even with dbZZZ equals to [db.generateString(300), db.generateString(700)] it worked.

[greenrobot-team]

I could isolate the issue: the problem is that as part of setting some properties a database query is executed. This query will run while an object is getting read. This will cause wrong values to be read.

In your code look at the RecipeIngredient.fromDB factory. Removing the database queries there fixes your reported issues.

I still need to investigate if this is something that should work or should throw an error.

[lberbey]

Thank you for the work. I understand why I wasn't able to reproduce it only with String.

Correct me if I'm wrong : If I had create all the missing objects (Section, RecipeIngredient...) with the proper ToOne/ToMany relations it would be ok. My issue is all about having one or many read operations during another one.

For my own good, I hope you will improve the tool but I would understand if you don't. I guess it's a lot of work and the community doesn't really need it, otherwise it would have been brought up sooner.

We have released version 2.2.0 which should resolve this issue. Please update using flutter pub upgrade (or dart pub upgrade for Dart Native projects).

[lberbey]

Thanks you for the update. Does the new version fix both issues (query and read operation) ?

I've updated my sandbox project as requested and recipes = db.getManyByUuid(... on main.dart l.187 stills returns me 1 object. For the other issue I can confirm that days[0] is now filled with the appropriate values.

[greenrobot-team]

Thanks! I just verified and this is true. The issue only appears when running a query as part of constructing an object and then querying for those objects.

The query then will only return one object, regardless of how many objects are in the box.

I need to have another look at this.

[greenrobot-team]

We have released version 2.2.1 which I verified resolves this issue with the example project you have given. Please update using flutter pub upgrade (or dart pub upgrade for Dart Native projects).

Thanks again!

[lberbey]

Many thanks for your work and time. Everything is fine !
