Certain Collections Return Empty Object

Great tool, has worked well out of the box. I’m curious if you can shed any light on an issue I’m running into. Most collections I am able to get back up data from, but not all. I created a testing collection, with subCollections and all types of data in it… and everything was gathered properly. For whatever reason, an existing collection that I had defined will not return any information, and I just get an empty object. It only appears to be having troubles with this one collection, which has a subCollection and then another subCollection nested in it.

This is working great. I get information on my newly created testing collection. backups().then((data) => { // parse backup JSON var json = JSON.stringify(data); })

But, when running on my companies collection, I get back an empty object: {"companies":{}}

I can provide more details as needed but wanted to see if you can point me in a direction as to why specific collections return an empty object.

Thanks!

Figured it out! Our existing collection was created with deep paths originally, and I guess that doesn’t actually create the top-level documents.

Non-Existent Ancestoral Documents don’t show up in queries.

Thanks for your help in the matter, I believe all is well.

Wow, good to know the causes. I’m glad that you figured it out.
