GridView/ListView bound to Backend Query (Firestore) shows no data in Test Mode — TypeError "J.c1(...).al is not a function #7365

Description

Can we access your project?

  • I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

A ListView is bound to a Backend Query (Collection: packages, Query Type: List of Documents, Firestore). The query returns data correctly — 6 documents confirmed present in Firestore via the Firestore Data Manager. However, no items render in Test Mode: the screen stays empty except for the AppBar/page title and search bar. Browser console shows: Uncaught TypeError: J.c1(...).al is not a function in main.dart.js.

Expected Behavior

The ListView should render one child per document returned by the Backend Query (6 ServiceCard items), reflecting the real data in Firestore.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Firestore collection ("packages") with several documents (String/Boolean fields).
  2. Add a ListView to a page, attach a Backend Query (Query Collection, List of Documents) pointing to that collection, no filters/limits.
  3. Add a component instance inside the ListView as the model child, bind its fields to the document properties.
  4. Run the app in Test Mode.
  5. Observe: the list stays empty, no error shown in the FlutterFlow UI, but the browser console shows "Uncaught TypeError: J.c1(...).al is not a function".

Reproducible from Blank

Additional Information

This blocks displaying our service catalog to end users — a core feature of an app currently in development (premium auto-detailing booking app). We've verified Firestore rules allow read access, verified the data exists (6 documents), and rebuilt the widget from scratch (deleted and recreated as a fresh ListView) — same result every time. A related community post with an identical symptom (same TypeError), published early August 2026, remains unresolved: https://community.flutterflow.io/ask-the-community/post/gridview-listview-bound-to-backend-query-shows-no-data-in-run-test-mode----SACeGX45nQ0qDl6
