Unable to properly access data tables from MongoDB - coronium:getObject( ) method

[Jonathan Sharp]

Basically, I can't access my table information properly after it returns from MongoDB via the coronium:getObject( ) method and I'm hoping there's some quick and obvious solution that has escaped me.

I started by creating an object (a table named "data") and  I'm able to access the elements of the table via the print( ) method with no problems

local data = {

name = "color",

[1] = { name = "red", value = 0},

[2] = { name = "yellow", value = 0},

[3] = { name = "blue", value = 0}

}

print( data.name )  -- outputs "color"

print( #data ) -- outputs 3

print( data[1].name ) -- outputs "red"

I then "push" the table object to MongoDB and get the objectID

mc:createObject( "soma", data, function(e) 

if not event.error then

local r = e.result.objectId 

print( r ) -- outputs "4262979782"

end

end)

       

But when I "pull" the object back to Corona and run the following code I am unable to properly access the data.

coronium:getObject( "soma", "4262979782", function(e) 

local r = e.result

print( r.name .. " from result" )  -- outputs "color"

        print( #r .. " nodes from result" ) -- *** outputs 0 

print( r[1].name .. " from result" ) -- *** Runtime error : attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) 

end)

It's probably a JSON to Lua problem, right?  Anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks,

Jonathan
