I have a class like this:
public class Content {
public string Id {get; set;} = "content/"
public ContentJob? Job {get; set;}
}
public class ContentJob {
public string JobId {get; set;} = string.Empty;
}
I can create the content and if the job is there it will persist. with Store/SaveChanges.
But what I can't do is update (or more accurately set) ContentJob on Content and have it detect that there was a change. (HasChange(instance) == false) and SaveChanges doesn't update the database.
Why? And how do I make it detect the change?
(incidentally I tried using C# 9 records in hopes that because it automatically does deep object equality that this would solve it and no, it doesn't)
I created an unit-test based on your question, and it works as expected.
[Fact]
public void ShouldWork()
{
using (var store = GetDocumentStore())
{
string id = string.Empty;
using (var session = store.OpenSession())
{
var c = new Content();
session.Store(c);
session.SaveChanges();
id = session.Advanced.GetDocumentId(c);
var entity = session.Load<Content>(id);
entity.Job = new ContentJob()
{
JobId = "123"
};
Assert.True(session.Advanced.HasChanged(entity));
session.SaveChanges();
}
Assert.False(string.IsNullOrEmpty(id));
using (var session = store.OpenSession())
{
var entity = session.Load<Content>(id);
Assert.NotNull(entity.Job);
Assert.Equal("123", entity.Job.JobId);
}
}
}
public class Content
{
public string Id { get; set; } = "content/";
public ContentJob? Job { get; set; }
}
public class ContentJob
{
public string JobId { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}
