Returns empty data if the queried data was not found with fields query parameter.

[Mr-M1M3]

Let's say, we have a collection named users with data of type:

interface User {
   name: string;
   age: number;
}

The query

Now, I want to view only the name field of a specific record of user collection. So, I queried:

http://127.0.0.1:8090/api/collections/users/blahblah69420?fields=name

A record with id blahblah69420 doesn't exist! So, I expect pocketbase to return what it usually returns in case of a 404 not found.
However, I get no data in return.

Expected data:

{
   "code":404,
   "message":"The requested resource wasn't found.",
   "data":{}
}

Received Data

{}

NOTE

It does not happen if the field query parameter is omitted.

Hm, technically this is working correctly because the fields parameter is a generic way to filter/omit fields from the json response, but I could see why in this case it may not be desired as there is no way to specify upfront what fields for what response should be applied.

With the next release there are plans to add wildcard (*) support and I'll consider skipping the fields transformation for error responses.

I've submitted a "fix" in the develop branch that ignores the fields transformations for non 20x responses.

It will be available with the next v0.18.0 release (there is no ETA yet).
