Create a group chat room using createGroupRoom method and check userRoles column for the corresponding chat room in Supabase project in chats.rooms table.

What behaviour is expected? 💡

Set the default role for chat creator to be 'admin'.

Code snippets 📝

Fix suggestion: add the following line after fetchUser in createGroupRoom method.

currentUser['role'] = creatorRole.toShortString();

Although role is being passed to fetchUser but it is not used there.

Hi @Parfyonator,

Thanks for reporting this bug, I fixed it here #19, in the next few days I will release this new release.

[Parfyonator]

Hi @rickypid. Thanks for the latest update. Really excited to test if the user status is working now.

Unfortunately I cannot confirm I still had to do the following modification here for it to work:

final roomUsers = [loggedUser!.copyWith(role: creatorRole)] + users;

Also I'm experiencing strange behaviour. All user roles are null for every room, although they are clearly not in the database and I can confirm that the data from database is correct by printing userRoles from here:

print(userRoles);

Output: {441a5349-8a01-44a3-9fcd-1db35a07ab2b: admin, 7cf16ad4-8e43-4681-ba38-ffc456d22f98: null, 827895bf-0336-418a-8cad-add0b25e4926: null}

But when I print roles here I get an array of nulls:

print(users.map((u) => u['role']).toList());

Output: [null, null, null]

[rickypid]

Sorry for the little bug, I didn't notice it, reading the users objects coming from the view I didn't parse the roles correctly. try #21

[Parfyonator]

Just tried it. Seems to work fine now.

Thanks for help!

Released, thanks for the support!
