Clarification : writing Geofence events to firestore

[invention7]

Hey Chris,

I know the documentation is 'raw', so I might be missing something on this point.

I've got the plugin writing 'locations' nicely. Geofences : is the expected behavior that it write ENTER/EXIT events to firestore?
If so, I'm seeing ENTER events in my logcat but not a complimentary write to firestore.

Attaching logcat below. Running background-geolocation 2.13.1

Thanks for all the help.

Are you using Firebase Functions? are you checking for errors? You're aware the schema of a posted geofence is the same as a location with added geofence property?

[invention7]

OH! I see the data now, but it's in the 'locations' collection. I thought the expected behavior was to create a separate 'geofences' collection, per

bgGeoFirebase.configure({ locationsCollection: 'locations', geofencesCollection: 'geofences' });

[christocracy]

I don't see anything on my end that would geofences to be sent to locationsCollection.

[invention7]

Hmmmm.

I've tried renaming the locations collection to what I thought would be an invalid path and see if we got errors from the plugin:

gGeoFirebase.configure({ locationsCollection: 'invalid#$%', geofencesCollection: 'geofences' });

both location and geofence events appear in the new collection:

I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled using github as the package source instead of npm.
Same result...

Do you have any other routes I could test?

Thanks.

[christocracy]

Do you have any Firebase Functions running?

[invention7]

I do, on my other collections. Nothing touching the collections in question.

[invention7]

If I throw valid collection paths at it: bgGeoFirebase.configure({ locationsCollection: 'locations', geofencesCollection: 'geofences' });

I get both geofence and locations events written to the 'locations' collection

If I set an invalid geofences path: bgGeoFirebase.configure({ locationsCollection: 'locations', geofencesCollection: 'geofences/invalid' });

logcat acknowledges

09-20 08:05:20.588 21662 22279 I TSLocationManager: ℹ️ [Firebase] - configure: {"locationsCollection":"locations","geofencesCollection":"geofences\/invalid"}

But the same behavior occurs : all data is written to 'locations'

If I give it an invalid 'locations' path: bgGeoFirebase.configure({ locationsCollection: 'locations/invalid', geofencesCollection: 'geofences' });

adb logcat shows the configuration occur, the license warning (because I'm running w/o one currently in Android debug) and then the plugin goes silent... no more INSERT lines...

[invention7]

If I ommit the config altogether:

bgGeoFirebase.configure();

I am seeing location events written to the 'locations' collection, but no 'geofence' events written at all. Looking at the log (attached), I don't believe I'm seeing the plugin attempting to write the geofence ENTER events.

Don't know if it's relevant, just, again, making notes in investigation:

adb logcat above states :

TSLocationManager version: 2.12.22 (278)

I'm certain I'm running the latest. (as we discussed earlier in the thread, I was running 2.12 from npm and updated to 2.13+ to hook to this new plugin. I'm now pulling straight from github master branch. I have hosed platforms/ and plugins/, then started over with a clean add platform, still seeing this 2.12.22).
