getEmbedded() returns empty Array despite the set embedded response

First of all thank you for the implementation of the ketting library - it works like a dream for most of our endpoints.

However I observed a strange behavior for one of our endpoints. The embedded GET returns an empty array, although the embedded attribute is filled in the API response.

Do you have any suggestion, how it could be fixed?

public follow(element, ref:) {
    element.clearCache();
    return new Observable((observer) => {
      from(element.follow(ref))
        .subscribe(refData => {
          from(refData.get())
            .subscribe(data => {
              observer.next(data);
            });
        });
    });
  }

...

const projectListClient = new Client('resources/projects')
return this.follow(projectListClient, HateoasLink.SELF)
   .pipe(
     tap((data: any) => {
       this.hateoasDataRoot = data;
       if (data.getEmbedded()) {
           // .getEmbedded returns an empty array
       }
    })
   )

...

The response structure from the resources/projects endpoint looks like that:

{
   "_embedded":{
      "projects":[
         {
            --- DATA FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT ---
            "_links":{
               --- LINKS FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT ---
            },
            "_templates":{
               --- ACTIONS FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT ---
            }
         }
      ]
   },
   "_links":{
      "self":{
         "href":"http://localhost:4200/resources/projects"
      }
   }
}

1. Checked out other issues. A specific followAll(‘projects’) callback as suggested in https://github.com/badgateway/ketting/issues/273 and https://github.com/badgateway/ketting/issues/275 returns an empty array also.

2. Commented out element.clearCache(); Same result - empty array

I opened #408 and #409 to address both issues.

@mszalomski I think that’s an excellent idea. Glad you figured this out. I’m going to reopen this ticket with an updated title.
