AEM CIF: Unable to fetch custom product attributes from Magento

Question

I am not able to fetch custom attributes which are created in Magento using AEM Commerce Integration Framework (CIF). If you see the logs below, my custom attribute is not present in any of the graph QL queries that are being fired. And, my custom product model is initiated after the all queries are fired. I am able to fetch the same custom attribute when I manually query for the attribute (thru postman).

There are no queries fired at any point after this line is executed:

productRetriever.extendProductQueryWith(p -> p.addCustomSimpleField("custom_attribute")

Answer 1

This issue got resolved updating to a recent version of Magento connector and CIF core components.

Answer 2

You may be coming across the same issue I've just managed to resolve with the help of the developers of the core-cif-components: https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-cif-components/issues/504

This issue is that the out of the box model was being initialized first in the PageMetadataImpl.java. This is then cached so that it's not fired again with the custom query.

It turns out that I just needed to add the original Product.class as an adaptable in the annotations in my custom class. That way it's used as the model implementation in PageMetadataImpl.java. It wasn't how it was done in the tutorial I was following which was why it was a bit confusing.
