🐛 [cloud_firestore] FirestoreListView not rebuilding with collection group queries

[p4-k4]

Bug report

Describe the bug FirestoreListView does not rebuild when using collection group queries.

Example

FirestoreListView(
            pageSize: 2,
            shrinkWrap: true,
            query: cloudFirestore
                .collectionGroup('connections')
                .where('uid', isEqualTo: 1),
            itemBuilder: (context, doc) => Column(
              children: [
                Text(doc.data().toString()),
                ElevatedButton(
                    onPressed: () async => doc.reference.delete(),
                    child: Text('Delete')),
              ],
            ),
          )

Expected behavior

Widget rebuilds when data is changed in cloud firestore.

Thanks for the report @flutterfocus

.where('uid', isEqualTo: 1),

Does it work if you use orderBy, for name field for example ?

Can you also confirm if you have setup the indexes for the query you are using in console ?

@darshankawar Hi there, yes indexes were created and the results are correctly returned when using .where('uid', isEqualTo: 1) however, the widget does not rebuild when a change is made on the "connections" sub collection. Hot restart (forcing a rebuild) will update the widget correctly.

Here are the indexes.

Using .where('uid', isEqualTo: 1).orderBy('name') returns no results, also without errors.

This is the structure I've got for testing this.

Cheers

Thanks for the update. Using the code sample provided and using it in plugin's example, running it on iOS simulator, I am getting same behavior as reported.

This is related to FirestoreListView from flutterfire_ui plugin, so labeling accordingly and to get further insights from the team on the expected behavior in this use case.

@p4-k4 you're using wrong collection id in your index. In your case, collection id should be connections instead of users. I verified that collectionGroup queries work as expected with FirestoreListView with correct indices built.
