V6 doesn't recognize _embedded resources

In version 5.2 _embedded resources won’t trigger a request per entry, but version 6 won’t recognize that the request contains _embedded resources and will instead make a GET request for each resources embedded.

Example:

 const articles = await ketting.follow('articles').followAll('articles')

    for (const resource of articles) {
      const state = await resource.get();
      console.log(state)
    }

The above code follows the root document link articles and then follows all embedded articles and logs them.

In version 5.2 it will simply log the _embedded resources from the initial request. But in version 6, the exact same code will trigger a GET request per entry.

A workaround The following example is a possible workaround. But I’m not sure this is how it’s intended to be used.

 const articles = await ketting.follow('articles')
 const fetchedArticles = await articles.get()

    for (const resource of fetchedArticles.embedded) {
      console.log(state)
    }

@madsmadsen identified the core issue, I’m very grateful. The reason I hadn’t seen this is (sadly) because we were running a version of ketting 6 slightly older than current, and it’s a relatively new change.

PR and release will follow in the next 30 minutes.

Thank you @madsmadsen and everyone sending their debug information. Apologies for not spotting the error earlier.

That is very strange… definitely a bug! nice catch. Would be ok sharing a sample HAL document? I’d like to make sure this is not some kind of edge case I missed, as I’ve not seen this problem myself.
