Parse.Object.save return doesn't contains "__type"

[laullon]

Hi,

I have this cloud function:

Parse.Cloud.define("newPhoto", function (request, response) {
    var Photo = Parse.Object.extend("Photo");
    var p = new Photo();
    p.set("caption", 'tururu');
    p.save().then(function (np) {
        response.success(np);
    });
});

The 'np' object doesn't have the "__type" property, so it can be translated to a PFObject on my IOS app.

This happened we I deploy my app on a local Parse-server instance.
Please take a look of this bug: parse-community/parse-server#112

This is not an issue with the JS SDK -- the return type for save() is a Parse Object, which the server code needs to explicitly convert to the over-the-wire representation with ._toFullJSON().

Ok,

I know how to solve this when I return this:
response.success(np);

But no if I return something like this:
response.success({ photo : np });
or any other object that contains a ParseObject.

Any suggestion @andrewimm ?

I believe parse-cloud-express needs to be rewritten to use the encode function from the JS SDK.

However, you can encode any of your server responses today by calling Parse._encode(value), so your code example becomes response.success(Parse._encode({ photo: np }));

Thanks @andrewimm I did solve the problem...
