Hey I'm working on changes streams, which is reflecting data changes in MongoDB documents to Typesense collections This is my code:

print(_id)

document = insert_change['updateDescription']['updatedFields']

print(document)

print(CLIENT.collections[TYPESENSE_COLLECTION].documents[_id].retrieve())

r = CLIENT.collections[TYPESENSE_COLLECTION].documents[_id].update(document)

print(r)

This is the response

5fae9573f56f4d5f91b8c02d

{'name': 'Le Zii'}

As you can see, the document exists in my Typesense collection, but when I call

update()

it returns

[Errno 404] Not Found

. Any idea why this is happening?

👋 Just to be sure nothing else is going wrong, can you just try this separately:

print(CLIENT.collections[TYPESENSE_COLLECTION].documents['5fae9573f56f4d5f91b8c02d'].retrieve())

# Try inserting an empty document to see what error message you are getting now
print(CLIENT.collections[TYPESENSE_COLLECTION].documents['5fae9573f56f4d5f91b8c02d'].update({}))

Thank you for answering It's the same result

It can print the document, but returns 404 error code during update?

Yes

Can you also please try with this CURL request directly?

curl "<http://localhost:8108/collections/><COLLECTION>/documents/5fae9573f56f4d5f91b8c02d" -X PATCH \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY: ${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}" \
        -d '{}'

It returns

{ "message": "Not Found"}

🤔 What version of Typesense are you on?

How can I check that?

I think you might be hitting the wrong collection. Because if the document is not found, the error message will be like this:

{
  "message": "Could not find a document with id: 1a"
}

This is weird because when I call

retrieve()

it returns the document 😕

Just to confirm: is this both on the same stand-alone script? Can you please hardcode the

TYPESENSE_COLLECTION

variable name as well?

Yes

I just checked the server code, and the validation for collection existing is the same for both the update and retrieve end-points. So weird... Looking.

I'm sorry for the delay

That's a really old version of Typesense. Latest stable is 0.21. Can you please ask your sys admins to upgrade? It will be very difficult for me to debug an year old version, unfortunately.

I took the liberty of updating it Now updating documents works fine !

It's possible that 0.15 doesn't even have that update endpoint.

Thank you for your help 🙌
