[BUG] Infinite loop while reading a stream

[Pablo Maria Martelletti]

Imagine I have a stream called 'A', and that I have 1 event for that stream. When I try consume all the events for this stream, the first event is read correctly with:

if ($feed->hasLink(LinkRelation::LAST())) {
    $feed = $this->eventStore->navigateStreamFeed($feed, LinkRelation::LAST());
} else {
    $feed = $this->eventStore->navigateStreamFeed($feed, LinkRelation::FIRST());
}

Then, when fetching next feed, I expect it to be NULL. However, I'm getting an instance of StreamFeed. If I do a while, like suggested in the readme, I'll get an infinite loop, because the eventStore->navigateStreamFeed (using previous) will always return always this stream feed:

{
  "title": "Event stream '5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef'",
  "id": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef",
  "updated": "0001-01-01T03:00:00Z",
  "streamId": "5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef",
  "author": {
    "name": "EventStore"
  },
  "headOfStream": false,
  "links": [
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef",
      "relation": "self"
    },
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef/head/backward/20",
      "relation": "first"
    },
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef/0/forward/20",
      "relation": "last"
    },
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef/0/backward/20",
      "relation": "next"
    },
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef/1/forward/20",
      "relation": "previous"
    },
    {
      "uri": "http://localhost:2113/streams/5fdb4de2-093a-4bf5-b0f0-32cde3c3cdef/metadata",
      "relation": "metadata"
    }
  ],
  "entries": []
}

I've checked why is that, and the reason is that the method navigateFeed will only return null when there is no link for previous, but this feed always has.

@dbellettini Any ideas of we could check on the length of "entries" to return null instead? or at least check in both properties?

Thanks,

I will check in the weekend

I just updated the wiki, does it solve the issue?

@dbellettini thanks! I'll try it on monday, and will let you know about it!
