Issue Description

ParseObject.fromJson function is not sending the proper payload to the server. This is the exact same bug with #568 and #630.

Steps to reproduce

var map = {
      'firstName': 'Barbie',
      'lastName': 'Lee',
};
ParseObject obj = ParseObject('Models').fromJson(map);
ParseResponse res = await obj.save();

Actual Outcome

As you can see the -d flag does not contain anything:

I/flutter ( 4119): ╭-- Parse Request
I/flutter ( 4119): curl -X POST -H 'content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' -H 'user-agent: Flutter Parse SDK 3.1.0' -H 'X-Parse-Application-Id: [redacted]' -H 'X-Parse-Session-Token: [redacted]' -H 'X-Parse-Client-Key: [redacted]' -d '{}' https://parseapi.back4app.com/classes/Models
I/flutter ( 4119):
I/flutter ( 4119):  https://parseapi.back4app.com/classes/Models
I/flutter ( 4119): ╰--

Expected Outcome

Using a forEach loop to set the object value, I can achieve the following:

I/flutter ( 4119): ╭-- Parse Request
I/flutter ( 4119): curl -X POST -H 'content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' -H 'user-agent: Flutter Parse SDK 3.1.0' -H 'X-Parse-Application-Id: [redacted]' -H 'X-Parse-Session-Token: [redacted]' -H 'X-Parse-Client-Key: [redacted]' -d '{"firstName":"Barbie","lastName":"Lee"}' https://parseapi.back4app.com/classes/Models

It seems that the problem is solved. I tested it and there was no problem

I'll go ahead and close this since the issue was not reproducible @hinryd please try again with the latest package version and we can reopen this issue if you still face it.

I am also seeing a similar issue. My test code is:

 var firstObject = ParseObject('TestTrip')
    ..fromJson({'description': 'A test Trip 2'});
  print(firstObject);

  var secondObject = ParseObject('TestTrip')
    ..set('description', 'A test trip 3');
  print(secondObject);

  await secondObject.save();
  await firstObject.save();

the resulting output (from print) is

flutter: {"className":"TestTrip","description":"A test Trip 2"}
flutter: {"className":"TestTrip","description":"A test trip 3"}

It creates both records but the one created using fromJson has no data fields (i.e. the description is missing).

• Flutter (Channel stable, 3.7.0, on macOS 13.1 22C65 darwin-x64, locale en-GB)
• parse_server_sdk_flutter: ^3.1.3

is there a step I am missing if I want to use fromJson ?

Did you register TestTrip?

[magnatronus]

@mbfakourii not sure what you mean, but I guess then the answer is no.

I assume that fromJson does not do what I think it does - I assumed that it would populate (in my case) the TestTrip object with the data in the supplied json.

I am using Back4App and the save() pushes both records to the backend, it's just that there is no data added to the record when using fromJson , but objectId, createdAt, updatedAt and ACL are generated.

Below is the code

  await Parse().initialize(keyApplicationId, keyParseServerUrl,
      clientKey: keyClientKey, autoSendSessionId: true);

  var firstObject = ParseObject('TestTrip')
    ..fromJson({'description': 'A test Trip 2'});
  print(firstObject);

  var secondObject = ParseObject('TestTrip')
    ..set('description', 'A test trip 3');
  print(secondObject);

  await secondObject.save();
  await firstObject.save();
  

  debugPrint('done');
