Reproducing the issue

Future trackSearch(String serviceName, String category) async {
try {
print('Starting trackSearch...');
print('Service Name: $serviceName');
print('Category: $category');

  // Create a unique document ID based on category and service name
  final docId = '${category}_$serviceName'.replaceAll(' ', '_').toLowerCase();
  
  final searchRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance
      .collection('serviceSearches')
      .doc(docId);
  
  print('Document path: ${searchRef.path}');

  try {
    await FirebaseFirestore.instance.runTransaction((transaction) async {
      print('Starting transaction...');
      final doc = await transaction.get(searchRef);
      print('Document exists: ${doc.exists}');

      if (doc.exists) {
        print('Current search count: ${doc.data()?['searchCount']}');
        transaction.update(searchRef, {
          'searchCount': FieldValue.increment(1),
          'lastSearched': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
        });
      } else {
        print('Creating new document...');
        final newData = {
          'category': category,
          'serviceName': serviceName,
          'searchCount': 1,
          'lastSearched': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
          'isServiceSearch': true,
        };
        transaction.set(searchRef, newData);
      }
    });

    // Verify the document after transaction
    final verifyDoc = await searchRef.get();
    if (verifyDoc.exists) {
      print('After transaction - Search count: ${verifyDoc.data()?['searchCount']}');
    }

  } catch (transactionError) {
    print('Transaction error: $transactionError');
  }

} catch (e) {
  print('Error in trackSearch: $e');
}

Flutter dependencies

Expand Flutter dependencies snippet

name: acumacum description: "A new Flutter project." # The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to # pub.dev using `flutter pub publish`. This is preferred for private packages. publish_to: "none" # Remove this line if you wish to publish to pub.dev

The following defines the version and build number for your application.

A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43

followed by an optional build number separated by a +.

Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter

build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.

In Android, build-name is used as versionName while build-number used as versionCode.

Read more about Android versioning at https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning

In iOS, build-name is used as CFBundleShortVersionString while build-number is used as CFBundleVersion.

Read more about iOS versioning at

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html

In Windows, build-name is used as the major, minor, and patch parts

of the product and file versions while build-number is used as the build suffix.

environment:
sdk: ">=3.4.0-282.1.beta <4.0.0"

Dependencies specify other packages that your package needs in order to work.

To automatically upgrade your package dependencies to the latest versions

consider running flutter pub upgrade --major-versions. Alternatively,

dependencies can be manually updated by changing the version numbers below to

the latest version available on pub.dev. To see which dependencies have newer

versions available, run flutter pub outdated.

The "flutter_lints" package below contains a set of recommended lints to

encourage good coding practices. The lint set provided by the package is

activated in the analysis_options.yaml file located at the root of your

package. See that file for information about deactivating specific lint

rules and activating additional ones.

flutter_lints: ^4.0.0

The following section is specific to Flutter packages.

flutter:

The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is

included with your application, so that you can use the icons in

the material Icons class.

uses-material-design: true

To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:

assets:
- assets/images/

An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see

https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware.

For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see

https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#from-packages

To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,

in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a

"family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a

list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For

example:

- family: Trajan Pro

fonts:

- asset: assets/fonts/Marg.ttf

For details regarding fonts from package dependencies,

see https://flutter.dev/custom-fonts/#from-packages

Replace this line with the contents of your `flutter pub deps -- --style=compact`.

Hi @faheem-riaz, thanks for the report. I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Can you provide a complete minimal code reproducing this issue?

[faheem-riaz]

I already provided the code. but here you go again.
`
Future trackSearch(String serviceName, String category) async {
try {
print('Starting trackSearch...');
print('Service Name: $serviceName');
print('Category: $category');

// Create a unique document ID based on category and service name
final docId = '${category}$serviceName'.replaceAll(' ', '').toLowerCase();

final searchRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('serviceSearches')
.doc(docId);

print('Document path: ${searchRef.path}');

try {
await FirebaseFirestore.instance.runTransaction((transaction) async {
print('Starting transaction...');
final doc = await transaction.get(searchRef);
print('Document exists: ${doc.exists}');

  if (doc.exists) {
    print('Current search count: ${doc.data()?['searchCount']}');
    transaction.update(searchRef, {
      'searchCount': FieldValue.increment(1),
      'lastSearched': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
    });
  } else {
    print('Creating new document...');
    final newData = {
      'category': category,
      'serviceName': serviceName,
      'searchCount': 1,
      'lastSearched': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
      'isServiceSearch': true,
    };
    transaction.set(searchRef, newData);
  }
});

// Verify the document after transaction
final verifyDoc = await searchRef.get();
if (verifyDoc.exists) {
  print('After transaction - Search count: ${verifyDoc.data()?['searchCount']}');

Hi @faheem-riaz, thank you for sharing your sample code. However, I was unable to reproduce the issue using it. To better understand and resolve the problem, could you provide a complete minimal reproducible example? This includes all the necessary code and configurations to replicate the issue from scratch. You can refer to this guide for tips on creating one. You could create a new repository with the minimal code and share the link here. Thank you!
