Folders with lots of files failing

808phone

When I call listFolder like in the example code, *response is often nil.

This only happens with large numbers of files (over 1800, with some people 3000+ files).

 

DBFILESListFolderResult *response is nil.

 

This is a problem for my app.

 

 

[[client.filesRoutes listFolder:@"/test/path/in/Dropbox/account"]
    setResponseBlock:^(DBFILESListFolderResult *response, DBFILESListFolderError *routeError, DBRequestError *networkError) {
      if (response) {
        NSArray<DBFILESMetadata *> *entries = response.entries;
        NSString *cursor = response.cursor;
        BOOL hasMore = [response.hasMore boolValue];

        [self printEntries:entries];

        if (hasMore) {
          NSLog(@"Folder is large enough where we need to call `listFolderContinue:`");

          [self listFolderContinueWithClient:client cursor:cursor];
        } else {
          NSLog(@"List folder complete.");
        }
      } else {
        NSLog(@"%@\n%@\n", routeError, networkError);
      }
    }];

So the problem is that I created 2 different calls. One for folders only and another for files. Apparently if there are enough files and it takes long enough, having the 2 calls at the same time will cause problems. I guess they cannot run concurrently without something happening. If I use just one routine, it works but is considerably slower than V1 I think.
