Document.update -- Uncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name "currentDocument" at 'document': Cannot find field.

Attempting to do the following in Firestore:

1. check if users/{userId} document exists. if it does, skip to step 3, if not, go to step 2
2. create users/{userId} with the base state { id: ... , configs: []}
3. retrieve users/{userId}'s config array
4. Append an object to said array

Right now, my code looks a bit like this:

  const userRef = db.reference(`users/${user}`)

  const res = userRef.get()
    .then((r) => {
      // User is found!
      return r;
    }).catch((e) => {
      // User not found. Creating
      userRef.set({
        id: user,
        configs: []
      })
      return userRef
    }).then((r) => {
      // Append new object to configs
      const newConfigs = r.configs;
      newConfigs.push({ name, url, query });
      return userRef.update({
        configs: newConfigs
      })
    }).then((r) => {
      console.log('updated state: ', r);
    })

But unfortunately I am getting this error:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name "currentDocument" at 'document': Cannot find field.
    at handleApiResponse (mod.js:8)
    at async Reference.update (Reference.js:112)

Is there a better workflow for this series of steps?

This error was fixed on the beta of version 1.0.0, but I'll push a quick fix for the current versions too.

@samuelgozi Still getting an error, but a different one:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name "fieldPaths": Cannot bind query parameter. Field 'fieldPaths' could not be found in request message.

So sorry. I usually test on a live server multiple times in addition to regular tests and consulting the reference. The previous time I didn't have much time so I skipped the live tests and fixed it from memory., and that's why I missed the error(it was misspelling)...

It's now fixed(really). You will see the changes in version v0.7.3.
Please let me know If you see any issue again(You really shouldn't). And Thank you very much!
