Request for improved debug logs

[Kabangi]

This is really a great project and am planning to use it in most of my upcoming projects.

While integrating it to an existing project I have run into this issue and I have no way of knowing what am doing wrong.

Checking the swift line on the screenshot and without prior swift knowledge, I just can't figure out how to proceed.

This is my code:-

export default class Contact extends Model {
  static table = 'contacts';

  @field ('sid')
  id;
  @field ('username')
  username;
  @field ('email')
  email;
  @field ('first_name')
  firstName;
  @field ('middle_name')
  middleName;

  static makeContact = (db, c) =>
    db.collections.get ('contacts').prepareCreate (contact => {
      const n = transformRemoteContact (c);
      contact.sid = n.sid;
      contact.username = n.username;
      contact.email = n.email;
      contact.first_name = n.first_name;
    });

  // Model actions goes here.
  static async createContactsFromAPI (db, contacts) {
    const cont = transformRemoteContact (contacts[0]);
    const finalContacts = contacts.map (c => Contact.makeContact (db, c));
    console.warn (finalContacts[0]);
    return await db.batch (...finalContacts);
  }
}

Please help. Thanks.

I'll take a look in a spare moment. I agree, the error logs could be more useful. I onlyy spotted one error:

contact.first_name = n.first_name

this should be contact.firstName. But I don't think it would throw in the database.

If you run the project from Xcode, and open the Xcode console logs, you should see more details there about the error (likely a SQL error). Let me know

Thanks, got it figured but I will leave this open since it's more generic and will help push for adoption of the project if done. Bump into another issue but I will file this as separate issue

@Kabangi is this a solved issue?

[Kabangi]

From my end yes but I think the library need some love in that respect to help users spot errors much fast than the current state.

Solving this issue https://github.com/Nozbe/WatermelonDB/issues/42 might be the first step to that end

Am currently learning swift as an attempt to make a contribution to the library instead of requesting. Hoping I can pick up quickly and work on this and the issue attached her in.

Sure, agreed! Let me know if you have specific troubles with contributing — and thanks for the interest!
