Environment Setup

Local

Xcode 7.3
iPhone 6s simulator with iOS 9.3
Parse-iOS-SDK 1.13

Remote

heroku/nodejs
parse-server 2.2.4
parse 1.8.1

Steps to reproduce

Precondition: There exists an object on the database that has an array of pointers as one of its fields.

1. Create a PFQuery on the object's type.
2. Try to include the array of pointers field using includeKey:
3. Execute the query.

Note: This works correctly my Parse hosted app. It only becomes an issue when I try to use my parse-server hosted on heroku.

Logs/Trace

[Error]: can only include pointer fields (Code: 102, Version: 1.13.0)

What do you expect to happen? Have the pointers loaded from the array? Or just not having an error?

[N4tr0n]

I expect it to load the pointers from the array. This is how it works on the Parse hosted app and what the documentation says to do.

Alrighty!

I just tried to reproduce the error and I can't reproduce it.

Ok, here's a sample array

[
    {
        "__type": "Pointer",
        "className": "CustomClassName",
        "objectId": "yAj8sBKbWn"
    },
    {
        "__type": "Pointer",
        "className": "CustomClassName",
        "objectId": "VYce892Y3A"
    }
]

Where CustomClassName refers to the same class in both instances. Does this look correct?

Can you check the commit that is referenced here and tell me if that embodies your issue?

[flovilmart]

Any news on that?

[N4tr0n]

It looks like it may fix my issue but I have only been able to successfully set up parse-server using the 2.2.4 release on npm so I haven't been able to test the referenced commit.

Note: I tried setting up my package.json using this but I couldn't get it to work. Node kept reporting that parse-server couldn't be found.

[flovilmart]

Yeah, you can't set it up like that as the git repository don't hold the lib.
If 2.2.4 fixes your issue, that's all good then, I can close the issue. Reopen if you feel there's still a problem
