fix: [MR-192] removed attachment of listeners for synced_at data; used FieldValue.serverTimestamp() instead for synced_at data - #287
Conversation
used FieldValue.serverTimestamp() instead for synced_at data
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe shared event handler now prefetches user summary documents into Firestore’s local cache. Summary and user-session writes use server-generated ChangesFirestore synchronization

🌐 Web query:
Firebase Android Firestore Query.get() default source offline behavior cache empty result failure listener
💡 Result:
In Firebase Firestore, the behavior of a get() call when offline depends on whether you are querying a collection or fetching a specific document [1][2]. For a Query (collection or collection group): If you execute a query while offline and no matching data is present in the local cache, Firestore returns an empty QuerySnapshot rather than an error [1][2][3]. This is by design: the SDK cannot differentiate between a query that truly has no results and a query that has no results because the cache is empty [3]. Because it returns a valid (though empty) snapshot, the failure listener is not triggered [4][3]. For a DocumentReference (single document): If you fetch a single document while offline and it is not in the local cache, the operation will return an error, which will trigger your failure listener [1][2][3]. To change this behavior: If you need to ensure that a query fails when the network is unreachable rather than returning an empty cache result, you can use the SERVER source option [5][4][6]: query.get(Source.SERVER).addOnCompleteListener { task -> if (task.isSuccessful) { // Handle results } else { // This will now trigger on failure if the server cannot be reached Log.e("Firestore", "Error: ", task.exception) } } Using Source.SERVER forces Firestore to bypass the cache and attempt to connect to the server; if the connection fails, the Task will return an error [5][6]. If you are using a snapshot listener instead of a one-time get, you can check the snapshot metadata to determine if the data is coming from the cache, which can help you decide whether to show an "empty" state or a "connecting" state to the user [3].

Wait for cache prefetch before summary upserts.
prefetchSummaryDocs() runs asynchronously, but getInstance() returns immediately. If an offline summary query runs before prefetch completes, Firestore can return an empty cached QuerySnapshot. The code then calls createNewSummaryDoc() and creates a duplicate auto-ID document.
Track the prefetch task and start summary queries after it completes. Add a regression test for this ordering.
