Ancestor query with filter on children not returning anything #1237
Description
I am using gcloud-node v.0.30.3 and since it doesn't support gRPC I am using gcd-rpc for my local datastore.
Say I run this query to get all the children:
var query = datastore.createQuery('Contacts').hasAncestor(datastore.key(['ContactsParent', 'my_username']));
datastore.runQuery(query, function (err, entities) {
if (err) {
console.log('error ' + err);
return;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(entities));
return;
});
This works and returns all the entities. If I go:
var query = datastore.createQuery('Contacts').hasAncestor(datastore.key(['ContactsParent', 'my_username'])).filter('status', 'some status');
datastore.runQuery(query, function (err, entities) {
if (err) {
console.log('error ' + err);
return;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(entities));
return;
});
Nothing is return even though it should return something. Nothing is printed in the node console.
I have noticed some strange behavior. If I add a limit clause to this query it will return an empty array ( [] is printed in the console), but without it nothing.
My index.yaml file looks like this:
indexes: - kind: Contacts ancestor: yes properties: - name: status
I am expecting with this query that all the children get returned, and then from those children only the ones with a status of 'some status' return. This is not happening.
The records do exist in the datastore, but when I filter they do not. Example of a record:
datastore.save(
{
key: datastore.key(['ContactsParent','my_username', 'Contacts','my_contact']),
method: 'insert',
data: {
status: 'some status'
}
}
}
