Health API missing from documentation

I've recently updated a Flutter app that previously used the dart_appwrite 7.3.0 package and is now using the dart_appwrite 10.0.0 package. However, I get an exception when calling health.getDB() to check the status of the database: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'int'

When I review what is returned, it appears that the DB status is now returned as a map with two properties: total and a list of HealthStatus.

I'm not able to find the Health API in the new documentation and any of the old links obviously return a 404 error. Is there anywhere where this change has been documented and any idea how to fix the issue?

TL;DR

The Health API is currently missing from the documentation and is advised not to be used. It needs to be fixed before documentation can be provided. The issue can be found on GitHub at: <https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/6957#issuecomment-1771484526>. The fix involves creating a pull request, but the process is unclear. There is also a suggestion to create an issue on GitHub for the unexpected response format. The Dart SDK seems to be out of sync with the current Appwrite deployment, causing some compatibility issues. It is recommended to create an issue on GitHub to address this. The source code for

For clarity, the locally hosted Appwrite has been upgraded to 1.4.4

Thinks that you need to create issue on github to fix it

Yeah, I've been browsing the source. I think that there's been an update to what Appwrite returns, but not the equivalent update to the dart_appwrite SDK. I'll open a ticket tomorrow.

Uhhh why are you using the dart sdk in your flutter app?

It's a desktop admin app, that does maintenance on the Appwrite database - including migrating the contents of one Appwrite database to another. Why I'm using the Dart SDK shouldn't really matter though. This is a bug that will need to be fixed as the Dart SDK is out of sync with the current Appwrite deployment,

hopefully you're not putting the API key in the app itself as to reduce exposure of your API key.

Anyways, would you please create an issue on github for the unexpected response format?

API key is manually entered, but also, it's an internal app so it never leaves my development machine. 😄

I'll create an issue as soon as I've resovled an Xcode/Flutter build issue that's preventing me from deploying an urgent bug fix. 😦

@Steven, issue raised, along with what I expect the new type should be:

The fix itself is quite easy and I implemented it locally in my app. I would create a PR for the fix but reading through the documentation, it wasn't clear how I should go about it.
