Meta-data unreliable in DBFILESUploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry?
Hello, I'm using chunked uploads to upload files (although this may affect regular uploads, too - I haven't checked that yet). I use the clientDate parameter of DBFILESCommitInfo to ensure the di...
- Ok, the fix is rolling out now. I just tried the sample code again, and it's no longer reproducing the issue for me.
Please try it out when you get a chance and let me know if you're still seeing the issue.
Actually, I've found the problem. I was relying on the advice given here:
Based on the assumption that the [(DBFILESUploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus * )status complete].entries.array will be in the same order as the finish args passed into -uploadSessionFinishBatch:, I was doing the following:
1. Maintaining an array of custom task objects in the same order as the finish args array to be passed into -uploadSessionFinishBatch:.
2. In the finish check method, I was iterating through the status.complete.entries using a for() loop, and using the index to grab my custom task objects.
3. I was then updating my custom task objects and the file on disk associated with the task object with the date in the meta-data object of DBFILESUploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the array of entries returnd by -uploadSessionFinishBatchCheck: is *not* in the same order as the array of finish args passed into -uploadSessionFinishBatch: after all. Using the index of the DBFILESUploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry objects to grab my tasks was therefore resulting in the wrong task, and thus the wrong date was being applied to the file and task object.
All the best,
