Getting comments from a card

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying to read all comments, to get the raw text from them and even though I tried several approaches, I can’t get comments from a card. The collection simply appears empty. This is the method I use:

public async Task<List<(DateTime CreationDate, string Text)>> GetRawComments(string listName, params string[] cardNames)
{            
    IMe me = await Factory.Me();
    IBoard board = me.Boards.Single(b => b.Name == BoardName);
    await board.Refresh();
    IList list = board.Lists.Single(l => l.Name == listName);
    await list.Refresh();
    List<ICard> cards = list.Cards.Where(c => cardNames.Any(name => c.Name.Contains(name))).ToList();

    var comments = new List<(DateTime CreationDate, string Text)>();
    foreach (ICard card in cards)
    {
        await card.Refresh();                                
        foreach (IAction comment in card.Comments) // card.Comments is empty
        {
            DateTime creationDate = comment.CreationDate;
            string text = comment.Data.Text;
            comments.Add((creationDate, text));
        }
    }            
    return comments;

Everything up until the comments is loaded fine, but the card.Comments collection is empty, so the foreach block isn’t even executed, even though it should contain few hundreds of comments. I configure Trello credentials in the constructor, and since it loads the cards just fine, I assume that part is probably fine.

Thank you. The problem was that I was refreshing the card and it didn’t occur to me comments should be refreshed as well. That Limit example comes from an old StackOverflow question which I went to because I couldn’t find many examples in the GitHub Pages documentation. Now I see the tests could serve as examples pretty well, too.

Thanks for your help, now it should be okay.

That’s odd. I would think the card refresh would download the comments given the set downloaded fields. I’ll run some more experiments.

Glad you got it working, though. Thanks for the links.
