includeKey(s) not working?

[wosheesh]

When querying and using includeKey or includeKeys for Pointer-types, the referred objects are not loaded. Is this working as intended in ParseLiveQuery or am I doing something wrong?

Query declaration:

    var messagesQuery: PFQuery {
        return (Message.query()?
            .whereKey("roomId", equalTo: currentChatRoom!.objectId!)
            .includeKeys(["author", "room"])
            .orderByAscending("createdAt"))!

Subscription:

    subscription = liveQueryClient
        .subscribe(messagesQuery)
        .handle(Event.Created) { _, message in
            print("message author.objectId : \(message.author.objectId)")
        }

The last line produces error:
[__NSCFDictionary objectId]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Is author an 'Object' type on Parse? If so, the error is correct.

[wosheesh]

It is a PFObject. Why is the error correct? In another place in my code I have a similar query not handled by LiveQuery, also pointing to a user Object and same call results without error.

Is this because Pointers are not yet supported? #31 #16

[xissburg]

Pointers are not yet supported? Then what's the point?

[xissburg]

I thought I could work around it in a way... but nor the current session, nor ACLs are supported. This is still extremely limited and not very useful.

I have encountered the same issue. Live query without pointers is really limited. Any schedule on this ? How can we help ? What about includeKeys ? Thanks

[agordeev]

I'm having the same problem. Here's more info: #40

[AmbroiseCollon]

Any timeline on this ? How can we contribute ? Thanks !

[agordeev]

The problem is LiveQuery returns NSDictionary instead of PFObject.

Any progress on this issue ? I've noticed that the object encoding/decoding is fixed so LiveQuery is returning PFObject. However you don't receive the full object even though the query contains includeKey.

@Patrez this is a server side issue, the includeKey is ignored when subscribing to the query. The decision tree is processed synchronously after an object is saved on parse-server, therefore we don't have the opportunity to inject inclusions. We'd need to refactor the whole serverside logic in order to support those.

[Patrez]

Oh I understand and do you think that parse-server will support includeKey and LiveQueries? Should I create an issue on parse-server?

[flovilmart]

Pull requests are welcome, if this is a feature of interest, we may start the refactor that may enable more powerful live queries. Note that this will have a negative impact performance, forcing a 'read' on the DB after each save that matches the query. It was designed to not have such impact. Do you want to tackle that in a pull request?

[rafaelmaroxa]

Definitely interested in this.

Is there a solution for this?
