In the function below, I want to get all the records in a collection named 'contexts'.

But, when I ask to print each record, I get nothing, not even an empty field or a null.

On the console, it is like if I have never ask for print.

I do not understand why.

Future getAllContextInFirebaseV1() async {

  CollectionReference ref = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('Users')
  .doc((FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser.uid))
  .collection('contexts');

  QuerySnapshot contextsQuery = await ref
      .get();

  contextsQuery.docs.forEach((document) {

  print(document['context_Name']);

  });
  
}

contextsQuery.docs is a list of snapshots. You actually need to call .data() on each document to access the data ('context_Name').

So instead of

print(document['context_Name']);

you should have

print((document.data() as Map<String, dynamic>)['context_Name']);

Note that the document has other properties on it like exists, id, reference, ...

But wait, are you sure that there are documents inside the contexts subcollection on the current user? Because chances are contextsQuery.size could be zero, so forEach doesn't get called.

If yes, are you sure that the collection names are correct?
