Loopback: BUG GET \parents\{pk}\children\count on embedsMany and referencesMany

[veekungx]

when declared relation like this

{
     name : "Parent"
     relations: {
        "type": "embedsMany",
      "model": "Child"
     }
}

then call
GET /parents/{pk}/children/count

It count on Child collection instead of sub-document

It appears we have now encocuntered the same issue with ReferencesMany

I think it's related to this line in /loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/scope.js:
var targetModel = definition.targetModel(this._receiver);

[MarkAndrewJohnson]

@fabien would you now have a resolution for this issue?

[pierreclr]

We encounter the same issue on loopback 2.22, any progress on a possible fix ?

[Fercho191]

I have the same problem, I try and write something right ring but I can not function that I write in the script of the model.

Adding P1 as many community members are reporting in multiple areas - embedsMany, ReferencesMany.

@fabien , saw you assigned it to yourself. Are you planning to submit a PR?

[fabien]

@dhmlau it's been since 2014 - still working with Loopback, but unable to set aside time for a PR right now.

There have been recent changes to how count is returned in some connectors; if you can provide an example repository in GitHub to demonstrate the issue, we can revisit it but at this time this is not a priority for us.
