fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock : [Error]: Object not found. (Code: 101, Version: 1.14.1)

[burf2000]

So I have spent the day trying to track this down.
History, moving from Parse to Parse Server (latest version of all)
I have a website that creates a record (Search) and attaches a couple of images to it (SearchPicture) for which it creates a relationship (Parse.Object.extend("SearchPicture")).

This works perfect in Parse.
On the iOS end, we load up the Search, and loop through its relationships to SearchPictures and use fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock.

Moving it to Parse Server, I get [Error]: Object not found. (Code: 101, Version: 1.14.1), I can see the ID of the record it is trying to find (gq5h0xddGA) and I can see the record in Mongo :

_{ "_id" : "gq5h0xddGA", "searchPictureImage" : "4992d20cad4f3d8c90804efa42f6475a_Screen Shot 2016-07-15 at 13.41.23.png", "_created_at" : ISODate("2016-07-21T13:31:18.592Z"), "updated_at" : ISODate("2016-07-21T13:31:18.592Z") }

If I just query the table normally (SearchPicture) in iOS it works fine and fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock is successful.

So it seems to be the link between Search and SearchPicture that causes fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock to fail

I would say this is related to ##986

"If I just query the table normally (SearchPicture) in iOS it works fine and fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock is successful."

If you query SearchPicture directly, why would you need to do fetchIfNeeded? Isn't it already the object you wanted from Search (ie the relationship you were looking to watch). I understand that quering SearchPicture directly is a workaround to check if it works but at that point you don't need fetchIfNeeded...

Also regarding the issue, can you try to put your fetch code in a way that it loads twice. As mentioned in my issue, the first time around the error appears, when I open that view again and cause another call to be made, the data is returned. So basically put your code in viewDidAppear() and see if coming to that view twice makes it appear the second time around.

[burf2000]

Good points well made Acegreen, of course fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock works normally, sorry I have not used parse for sometime, picking up a old project. I will see if call it twice fixes the issue

[burf2000]

Calling it multiply times does not help. I am using local storage and I did try fetchInBackgroundWithBlock

[acegreen]

fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock in that case is not needed at all. If you use that work around, you are going to find them in your query and you have them. fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock is necessary in the original issue because you are querying the Search objects and they have relationships that might not have been included in your query (includeKey..) and thats why you need to fetch them on a per need basis.

Another point just for FYI, if you know you will always need SearchPicture when you query Search objects then include it in your query and you will not need to fetch or you won't need to do your workaround.

searchQuery.includeKey("SearchPictures")

[burf2000]

Now searchQuery.includeKey("SearchPictures") is a good idea, thank you mate, that could fix my issue

[acegreen]

Yea it will not really fix the fundamental problem in fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock but it might be an option in your case if you know you will always want it in your query.

[burf2000]

Hmm maybe query.includeKey("searchPictures") is broken to, so my object comes back like

<Search: 0x7a5550c0, objectId: WezgvgpQFI, localId: (null)> {
searchDetails = "Age:sdfsdf\nHeight:sdfsdf\nCurrent Clothing:sdfsdf\nLast know Location:sdfsdf\nRadio Channel: sdfdsf";
searchId = "Search 1";
searchInitialSearch = "<PFGeoPoint: 0x7ce5b6a0, latitude: 51.518678, longitude: -0.631800>";
searchPictures = (
);
searchTitle = dfdsfds;
}])

However mongo says

{ "_id" : "WezgvgpQFI", "searchPictures" : [ { "__type" : "Pointer", "className" : "searchPictures", "objectId" : "gq5h0xddGA" } ], "searchInitialSearch" : [ -0.6317996978759766, 51.51867760878029 ], "searchTitle" : "dfdsfds", "searchDetails" : "Age:sdfsdf\nHeight:sdfsdf\nCurrent Clothing:sdfsdf\nLast know Location:sdfsdf\nRadio Channel: sdfdsf", "searchId" : "Search 1", "_created_at" : ISODate("2016-07-21T13:31:26.821Z"), "_updated_at" : ISODate("2016-07-21T13:31:26.821Z") }

[acegreen]

its not broken, just not showing fields which is expected when you spit it out. try just using it as you normally would.

[burf2000]

I do try using it and its empty, which I know it is not

[burf2000]

Appears to not work in Android either... I feel this seems very odd

[burf2000]

So trying to debug this using curl
curl -X GET
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: lowlands"
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ABCDEFG123456"
http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/Search/WezgvgpQFI

_{"objectId":"WezgvgpQFI","searchPictures":[{"__type":"Pointer","className":"searchPictures","objectId":"gq5h0xddGA"}],"searchInitialSearch":{"_type":"GeoPoint","latitude":51.51867760878029,"longitude":-0.6317996978759766},"searchTitle":"dfdsfds","searchDetails":"Age:sdfsdf\nHeight:sdfsdf\nCurrent Clothing:sdfsdf\nLast know Location:sdfsdf\nRadio Channel: sdfdsf","searchId":"Search 1","createdAt":"2016-07-21T13:31:26.821Z","updatedAt":"2016-07-21T13:31:26.821Z"}burfies1-MacBook:LowlandRescueWeb burfies1$

But if I do
curl -X GET
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: lowlands"
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ABCDEFG123456"
--data-urlencode 'include=searchPictures'
http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/Search/WezgvgpQFI

[burf2000]

So more than ever I am convinced this is a bug. I have re-written the code to actually just get the objectID from the relationship then manually retrieve the record and it works fine.

New code
let searchPictures : [PFObject] = Search.sharedInstance.selectedPerson["searchPictures"] as! [PFObject]

        for searchPicture : PFObject in searchPictures {

            var query = PFQuery(className:"SearchPicture")
            query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId(searchPicture.objectId!) {
                (searchPicture: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                if error == nil && searchPicture != nil {

                        let file : PFFile = searchPicture!["searchPictureImage"] as! PFFile

                        file.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in

                            if error == nil {
                                if let image = UIImage(data: data!) {
                                    Search.sharedInstance.missingPersonPhotosArray.append(image)

                                    if Search.sharedInstance.missingPersonPhotosArray.count > 0 {
                                        // Add 1st image to missing person page
                                        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                                            self.missingPersonMainImage.image = Search.sharedInstance.missingPersonPhotosArray.first
                                            self.spinner.stopAnimating()
                                            self.spinner.hidden = true
                                        }
                                    }
                                } else {
                                    self.spinner.stopAnimating()
                                    self.spinner.hidden = true
                                }
                            } else {
                                self.spinner.stopAnimating()
                                self.spinner.hidden = true
                            }

                        })

                } else {
                    self.spinner.stopAnimating()
                    print(error)
                }
            }

Old code
let searchPictures : [PFObject] = Search.sharedInstance.selectedPerson["searchPictures"] as! [PFObject]

        for searchPicture : PFObject in searchPictures {

            searchPicture.fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock({ (Object, error) -> Void in
                print (error)
            if error == nil {
                let file : PFFile = searchPicture["searchPictureImage"] as! PFFile

                file.getDataInBackgroundWithBlock({ (data, error) -> Void in

                    if error == nil {
                        if let image = UIImage(data: data!) {
                            Search.sharedInstance.missingPersonPhotosArray.append(image)

                            if Search.sharedInstance.missingPersonPhotosArray.count > 0 {

running a query for every object is super inefficient. if you are going to manually grab them, then at least do one query and whereKey:ContainedIn and give it an array of searchPictures
