Appwrite Functions - response from functions does not match database entry

Environment: Appwrite version: 1.4.2 Language/Framework: Dart (dart_appwrite plugin)

Summary: When using an Appwrite function to fetch data from the backend with the dart_appwrite plugin, the response data does not match the data that is actually stored in the Appwrite database.

Expected Behavior: The data retrieved from the Appwrite backend should exactly match the data as stored in the database, including any special characters.

Actual Behavior: The data in the response differs from the database data. The data is stored in the database as an array containing a Base64 string with special characters, but the string in the response lacks these special characters.

Steps to Reproduce: Store data in the Appwrite database as an Array["Base64 String"] with special characters. Use a Dart Appwrite function to fetch this data. Observe that the returned data lacks the special characters present in the stored data.

Whats in the database: L+alBJOsgB8nwGgtJPAoCYtbitLnHBN84dNSak12Kb+rKqetAFYxohCWF3XZ6HQ+

Whats fetched through the function: L alBJOsgB8nwGgtJPAoCYtbitLnHBN84dNSak12Kb rKqetAFYxohCWF3XZ6HQ

Appwrite Functions - response from functions does not match database entry

Thanks for posting this. I'll need to try and reproduce this 🧐

@Steven any update on this ?

sorry i've been pretty busy. it's on my list, though!

OK so I have a string array in my database like this:

my code is:

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';

import 'config.dart';

var client = Client();
var databaseId;
var collectionId;
var documentId;
var userId;
var teamId;
var teamMembershipId;
var fileId;
var functionId;
var bucketId;

Future<void> main() async {
  client
      .setEndpoint(endpoint) // Make sure your endpoint is accessible
      .setProject(projectId) // Your project ID
      .setKey(key) // Your appwrite key
      // .setJWT('jwt') // Enable this to authenticate with JWT created using client SDK
      .setSelfSigned(status: true); //Do not use this in production

  final databases = Databases(client);

  final document = await databases.getDocument(
    databaseId: 'default',
    collectionId: '641496436257c85f727c',
    documentId: '650cd29729118506066a',
  );

  print(document.toMap());
}

and it prints:

{$id: 650cd29729118506066a, $collectionId: 641496436257c85f727c, $databaseId: default, $createdAt: 2023-09-21T23:32:39.169+00:00, $updatedAt: 2023-09-21T23:32:39.169+00:00, $permissions: [], data: {firstString: , secondString: , base64: [L+alBJOsgB8nwGgtJPAoCYtbitLnHBN84dNSak12Kb+rKqetAFYxohCWF3XZ6HQ+], $id: 650cd29729118506066a, $createdAt: 2023-09-21T23:32:39.169+00:00, $updatedAt: 2023-09-21T23:32:39.169+00:00, $permissions: [], $databaseId: default, $collectionId: 641496436257c85f727c}}

from the looks of it, I do get the +
