MongoRepository findAll() returns empty list

Question

findAll() of mongoRepository returns empty list. what is wrong with the below code? API used for counting the number of documents in the collection works fine.

Controller

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/api-management/scopes")
public class AuthScopesController {
    private final ScopesService scopesService;

    @Autowired
    AuthScopesController(ScopesService scopesService) {
        this.scopesService = scopesService;
    }

    @PostMapping("/")
    public AuthScope createScope(@RequestBody AuthScope authScope) {
        return scopesService.createAuthScope(authScope);
    }

    @GetMapping("/")
    public List<AuthScope> getAllScopes() {
        return scopesService.getAuthScopes();
    }
}

service

@Service
public class ScopesService {

    private final AuthScopeRepository authScopeRepository;

    public ScopesService(AuthScopeRepository authScopeRepository) {
        this.authScopeRepository = authScopeRepository;
    }

    public AuthScope createAuthScope(AuthScope authScope) {
        return authScopeRepository.save(authScope);
    }
    //TODO: recheck
    public List<AuthScope> getAuthScopes() {
        return authScopeRepository.findAll();
    }
}

repository

@Repository
public interface AuthScopeRepository extends MongoRepository<AuthScope, String> {
    Optional<AuthScope> findByScope(String id);
}
 

model is as follows

@Data
@Document("auth-scopes")
public class AuthScope  {
    @Id
    private String scope;
    private String belongsToApi;
    private String belongsToApiTitle;
    private String description;
}

Answer 1

found the issue. in order to findAll() to work, the model has to have deleted status.

I've updated the model as follows

@Data
@Document("auth-scopes")
public class AuthScope  {
    @Id
    private String scope;
    private String belongsToApi;
    private String belongsToApiTitle;
    private String description;
    private boolean deleted;

}
