SessionAuthenticator not working when cookieName is not specified about couchbase_lite HOT 11 CLOSED

Does it fail if you pass the cookieName? The guard statement should be fine as it is the json object for the SessionAuthenticator and should be {"method": "session", "sessionId": "yoursessionid", "cookieName": "yourcookiename or nil"}. Maybe you created a guest session and you don't allow guest login from sync gateway.

No, it doesn't fail when I pass the cookieName, e.g. "SyncGatewaySession". But it fails when the cookieName is omitted. Since cookieName in SessionAuthenticator is declared as a named parameter; in other words it is supposed to be optional. And I believe its counterpart in Swift is optional too. I am afraid it is a little bug. By the way, I think BasicAuthenticator would have the same issue for those accounts without passwords.

One more thing - when the cookieName was omitted, the json map in my debugger was shown as Dictionary<String, Any> since the cookieName was set as NSNull. Hope this would help.

That's definitely what is happening. Good catch!

For now pass the cookieName, I don't have time to spend on this at the moment but you're welcome to make the changes and do a pull request with the fix in place. If you do this it won't take long for me to push the changes to flutter pub but you can use your code with the fix in place until that is live.

No problem. ActuallyI am thinking about making a fix and do a pull request. Hopefully, it will be available sometime next week. In the meantime, I've worked around the issue by setting the cookieName to SyncGatewaySession. Thanks for your quick response.

This was merged, I just need to push a new release and then I will close the issue.

with basicauthenticator everything works fine ,but with sessionauthentication automatic sync dosent working. Is this issue related the same you mentioned above?

from couchbase_lite.

It could be related. Please try to call the SessionAuthenticator constructor with the cookieName specified.

I haven't released the change to the plugin on pub.dev yet so you can reference this repo instead and it should solve your issue.
