parse-server: Exception while saving a ParseObject with CurrentInstallation set as a property

Experiencing exception while saving a ParseObject with CurrentInstallation set as a property.

Parse.ParseException: at least one ID field (deviceToken, installationId) must be specified in this operation

I have verified that installation ID is set on the CurrentInstallation object before calling SaveAsync.

The code below will save to parse-server on first run when the app is installed. Then, each time the code is run it throws an exception and does not save to parse-server.

Below is the gist of the code. For full code see this repo link: https://github.com/thewizster/hello-parse-installation/blob/master/HelloParse/HelloViewModel.cs

ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.CurrentInstallation;
var instId = installation.InstallationId.ToString();
var world = new ParseObject("World");
world["message"] = "Hello world!";
world["installation"] = installation; // if removed saves every time without exception
world.SaveAsync();

Steps to reproduce

This can be reproduced using this sample code at: https://github.com/thewizster/hello-parse-installation

  1. Build and run the app (fresh install on device). ParseObject will save just fine.
  2. Close the app and re-launch. Exception will be thrown and ParseObject will not be saved.
  3. Repeat step 2 as many times as you want.
  4. Uninstall the app and you can start over at step 1.

Expected Results

A new ParseObject (Class: World) should be saved to parse-server and have a pointer to the installation of the device that saved it. Here is an example from the MongoDb of a successful object saved.

{ 
    "_id" : "EImkTziqdr", 
    "message" : "Hello world!", 
    "_p_installation" : "_Installation$iiBDWyIHfc", 
    "_updated_at" : ISODate("2016-06-17T14:15:09.248+0000"), 
    "_created_at" : ISODate("2016-06-17T14:15:09.248+0000")
}

Actual Outcome

When calling SaveAsync on the new ParseObject the save will fail and result in the following exception:

Parse.ParseException: at least one ID field (deviceToken, installationId) must be specified in this operation

There is an obvious fix for that issue, before opening the PR, I’d like to get a 2nd opinion with @drew-gross or @nlutsenko

The fix would involve:

  1. plumb the installation-Id from the auth (trivial) raise an error when there is a mismatch between data and headers
  2. ignore the deviceType as it’s not being set given the logs provided, and enforced.

fixing the x-parse-installation-id only set on auth (https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/blob/master/src/RestWrite.js#L574) is mentioned.

I tested against parse.com and the X-Parse-Installation-Id header is not used in that matter. and the body defined installationId will take precedence on the headers

@thewizster Did you ever end up figuring this one out?

I find it strange that it says that an installationId must be specified, yet in the logs you can see “x-parse-installation-id” is actually set, which I assume is the installationId in question.

I have attached my logs below if it will help to debug / replicate.
