Facing confilct of document path UpdateDocument and AppendMapValueArray

[Eashubh128]

Hey , hii I am using the latest 1.4.11 version of FirebaseClient .
The issue I am facing is , when I replace whitespaces in my document name with "%20" and run the UpdateDocument and AppendMapValueArray in a same sketch targeting to update a single document , two documents are created . One has all of the details I provided in the UpdateDocument request and another has the data about the Array of maps .

In order to solve it , I did

String documentNameOrig = documentName;
String dateTime = getLocalTime();
documentName.replace(" ", "%20");
String documentPathForUpdateQuery = COLLECTION_PATH + documentName;
String documentPathForAppendMapValueArray = COLLECTION_PATH + documentNameOrig;

And then i use the documentPathForUpdateQuery for my Docs.patch for UpdateDocument , and documentPathForAppendMapValueArray for my DocumentTransform transform(documentPathForAppendMapValueArray, fieldTransforms); .

Please guide if I am doing it in a wrong way and if there is a correct method please help .

The document path parameter of Firestore::Documents::patch is a part of URL endpoint of the REST API HTTP request, then you have to encode the document path (URL encode by replacing white space with %20) if it contains spaces.

The document path parameter of DocumentTransform class constructor is used as the content or payload of the REST API HTTP request you are calling i.e. Firestore::Documents::commit, then it is not necessary to encode.

If unencoded document paths are the same, you will get your desire result based on the methods you are using unless human error in your code which you have to check.
