realm-js: Realm with sync enabled CRASHES the whole app when "path" is specified

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

I created a demo project that crashes after login immediatelly when in realm configuration we add path variable. It seems like unintended behaviour. When removing path no crash appears.

https://github.com/boltss/realm-sync-demo demo project. That crashes when path is specified.

In our case having 2 realms side by side is mandatory. And to separate them we need to specify path to one.

Can you reproduce the bug?

Yes, always

Reproduction Steps

open App.tsx and either removing or adding path makes it run or crash.

const RealmContext = createRealmContext({
	schema: [],
	// This line crashes the app with sync.
	path: 'sync.realm',
});

Crash happens after realm.logIn()

@kneth, has the realm team tried talking to some of their MDB customers to understand their use cases? The current implementation of Atlas Sync Realm seems pretty out of touch with the needs of modern day mobile apps. For instance, if an app developer wants to implement a task app, good UX may let them use the app and start adding objects to realm, but only sign in to save their data to the cloud or share it with colleagues. That would delay user login to an unknown time in the app life cycle and while it may be necessary for Mongo Atlas to set the owner of those documents, Realm should be able to persist data locally until being logged in which will give app developers a lot more flexibility to create proper UX flows that do not force a user to sign in before they understand more about the app they are using and if they feel comfortable letting that app handle their data on the cloud.

I’d love to chat with your team more and give some references to design patterns that should be supported that we use in industry developed at UC Berkeley and Stanford.

@rogerkerse I’m still looking into this, you’re right that it’s non trivial with Realm React so I am trying to work out the best way to do this, and talking to the team about if we need to add additional functionality to support this flow. Sorry for the trouble!

@ZComwiz I’ll chat to the team about your suggestion as I do agree this is somewhat complicated but there might be valid reasons for it being so. I’ll get back to you with our thoughts, it might be an area where we can improve our API in future for sure.
