Empty items array post cart transform

[stevekaran]

When adding non-bundled products/variants to the cart via /cart/add.js, the response is a complete items array with a detailed JSON structure of the product/variant that was added to the cart, validating the item(s) were added successfully.

When adding child product variants of a bundle to the cart via /cart/add.js, the response returned is an empty items array items: [], instead of the complete items array like with non-bundled products. Only upon re-fetching the cart does one get the full JSON of the cart.

Is this intentional/as designed?

Hi, that behaviour is unexpected. Could you provide more details so that we can investigate further?

Note that the API will not return the bundle components as lines, instead the lines will be the "parent" bundles.

I am currently testing Cart Transform for my customer as they have a unique way a bundling products. I am adding 2x items to the cart at once as follows:

fetch(Theme.routes.cart_add_url + ".js", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest" }, body: `{"items":[{"id":"45473501249852","quantity":"1"},{"id":"45473501282620","quantity":"1"}]}`})

Here are screenshots of the request and the response.

Only after I re-fetch the cart does the response contain the details of the parent bundle product.
fetch(Theme.routes.cart_url, { headers: { accept: "application/json" }})
